The short answer
Yes, if your mixture is classified for health or physical hazards and has to be notified to poison centres. The transition period ended on 1 January 2025. Mixtures that are not classified are generally not affected. The details are in Annex VIII CLP.
Art. 45 and Annex VIII CLP
In detail
The notification duty covers mixtures placed on the market for consumers, professional users or industrial users. For industrial use the deadlines ran longest.
Annex VIII regulates exceptions and special cases, for example for mixtures in very small quantities or for certain uses. Check them before you skip a notification.
Example: a sealant maker with a product classified for health hazards needs a UFI. Their water-based, unclassified filler generally does not.
