EuPCS (European product categorisation system)

InnovaDocs SDS teamUpdated: 6 November 2026

Definition: EuPCS is the harmonised product category system used in poison centre notifications to describe the intended use of a mixture, for example PC-DET-3.3 hand dishwashing detergents.

The category helps poison centres respond to emergencies and analyse incidents. Each PCN submission must carry exactly one EuPCS code at the most specific level available.

The EuPCS manual lists every category with inclusion and exclusion examples.
