The short answer
UFI stands for Unique Formula Identifier. It has 16 characters and appears on the label prefixed with “UFI:”. Poison centres use it to find the exact formulation of a product quickly in a poisoning case and to advise precisely.
Annex VIII CLP
In detail
The UFI does not replace classification and is not a quality mark. It links a product to the submission to the poison centres.
The submission is made through the ECHA portal or, depending on the country, through national routes. The UFI is stated in it.
Example: a child drinks a cleaner. The poison centre reads the UFI from the label, retrieves the formulation and can advise accurately.
