Product safety: reminder of the rules for hazardous mixtures in Belgium
The FPS Public Health is reminding companies of an essential obligation before placing any product on the Belgian market: the declaration of hazardous mixtures. This measure concerns all products that present physical risks, such as flammable or explosive substances, as well as those that present health hazards.
The main objective of this procedure is to inform the Poison Centre. In the event of an accident or accidental ingestion, the centre's experts must have precise information on the composition of the products in order to provide the necessary care as quickly as possible.
Companies that manufacture or import these products must submit the technical data via a dedicated platform. This notification helps ensure better traceability and an appropriate medical response to domestic or industrial chemical risks.
Failure to comply with this obligation may result in sanctions for the professionals concerned. The FPS Public Health emphasizes that the safety of Belgian consumers remains the absolute priority in the management of chemical substances present in the territory.
In conclusion, this regulation ensures better protection for all citizens. Professionals are invited to consult the official FPS Public Health website to verify their obligations and ensure that their products are correctly registered with the competent authorities.
