Poison Centre Notifications Are Mandatory in the UK
During the discussions for the UK’s withdraw from the EU, the UK authorities indicated that the UK Poison Centre Notifications would remain Voluntary and only require submission of an SDS to the National Poisons Information Service (NPIS). This was continuously communicated to business throughout and even after the end of the transition period by both DEFRA and the HSE that Annex VIII was not being brought into UK law on Brexit. However, it has recently come to light that the Annex VIII of the EU CPL 1272/2008 is in fact part of UK Law and has been so since the 1st of January 2021.

Government to Open UK REACH Consultation
The Government has announced it is re-opening formal consultation on the future of UK REACH. DEFRA has committed to exploring alternative arrangements for the UK REACH transitional registrations in order to support chemical businesses whilst upholding the highest standards to safeguard public health and the environment.
The UK is committed to a robust regulatory system for the control of chemicals which ensures the UK’s high levels of environment protection, underpinned by the Environment Act. The announcement also makes it clear a consultation will look for opportunities to reduce the need for industry to replicate existing EU REACH data.
