What is a UFI?⁠

The Unique Formula Identifier (UFI) is a 16-character alphanumeric code that is required on the label of products that contain a hazardous mixture.⁠ It is a requirement for products sold in the EU after 1st January 2021. ⁠

In addition to having the UFI on your labels, you are also required to provide information on your mixture, and associated products, to poison centres in the form of a Poison Centre Notification product dossier. ⁠

The best way to keep up to date with this is to follow updates from your fragrance oil suppliers.⁠

How do I generate a UFI?⁠

These can be generated via ECHA’s UFI Generator online tool – Google this to find out more.⁠
