The following chemical products need to be registered
Chemicals classified as hazardous according to article 3 in the CLP regulation that are produced (in Norway) or imported (to Norway) should be declared to the Product Register if the annual quantities are 100 kg or more.
Find out if you need to declare composition information only or a full declaration on behalf of your Norwegian customer.
For registration of composition information only the "product in product", PIP-form, should be used. Less information is needed, and no report of annual quantities and fees are required.
If you need to send a full declaration for the chemical on behalf of your customer, please use the product form. You must give the name and organization number of your Norwegian customer.
Biocidal products are used to fight unwanted organisms.
Obligation to notify and label
All biocidal products on the Norwegian market must be notified to the Product Register, however small the quantities are.
The obligation to notify is independent of the quantity sold and their classification. If the biocidal product requires a hazard label according to classification and labelling legislation and is manufactured and/or placed on the market in Norway in quantities of 100 kg or more per year, it must be fully declared to the Product Register.
Declaring biocidal products to the Product Register is a separate obligation (section 3), which comes in addition to applying for approval, and other obligations in the Norwegian Biocides Regulation.
Links
Chemicals that contain precursors for explosives must be declared to the Product Register. The duty to declare applies however small the quantities are and enters into force no later than when the enterprise starts to manufacture, sell, or place their product on the market in Norway. For further guidance, please refer to the Regulation on the handling of explosives precursors, sections 2 and 8.
Regulations in Norwegian
If you purchase a chemical in Norway and resell this under another label or commercial name, the chemical must be declared to the product register, this applies even if the chemical was already declared before the alterations.
When submitting/reporting annual quantities, this amount should be registered under "name changed".
Importers and downstream users of mixtures classified with health or physical danger must notify these to the Poison Information Center according to CLP article 45 and annex VIII.
The duty to declare chemicals to the Norwegian Product Register, as given in national regulation, is still valid in addition to the notification to Poison Centres.
Keep your existing declarations up to date
You and your company have the duty to keep the declaration up to date (according to the Declaration Regulation article 8).
Preparation before declaration
Find out if you need to declare composition information only or a full declaration on behalf of your Norwegian customer.
Make sure that you have been granted access to the system and have the role notifier or access controller for the company or companies you represent.
Foreign businesses may access the product register through the Norwegian Environment Agency's online application system for declaration of chemicals. To access Chemical declaration to the Product Register (the 2022 version), you must create a user profile at "Min side" (My page).
Please follow the guidance below.
If your company do not have an account, you can fill this application form:
The duty to declare chemicals lays on the Norwegian importer. But other companies (in Norway or within the EU/EEA/EFTA), may submit this information on behalf of the Norwegian party responsibility for complying with the declaration duty.
If you only need to register the composition, please use the form for product in product PIP declaration, and you only need to send information on the full composition directly to the Product Register, and give your declaration number to your Norwegian customer to use as reference in his product declaration.
Required information about your chemicals
Billing address
It is important that we know where to send the invoice. There are no fees involved when only submitting composition/PIP. Reference for the invoice must be given to help identify the invoice, like a PO no a name or something else according to the requirements in your own company. Contact information must be given to someone we can contact if there are question.
Can you use group declaration?
For virtually identical chemicals in the same series and with the same labelling, information may be submitted together. This is so-called group declaration.
This primarily applies to paints and varnishes but may also apply to other product types.
The following guidelines will form the basis for assessing whether group registration can be approved:
- Each product series must contain at least 5 chemicals.
- The chemicals must have the same unambiguous main name.
- The chemicals must have the same labelling to indicate health, environmental, fire and explosion hazards.
- The chemicals must belong to the same product type.
All the components must be given together with their minimum to maximum weight%. The difference between the minimum and maximum weight should be less than 10%. If necessary, the series can be divided into smaller groups to fulfil this demand. (If it affects the classification the minimum weight% cannot be zero.)
