The International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS) >

Through the International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS), WHO works to establish the scientific basis for the sound management of chemicals, and to strengthen national capabilities and capacities for chemical safety.

Chemical safety is achieved by undertaking all activities involving chemicals in such a way as to ensure the safety of human health and the environment.

Notificação de Produtos

Para que o CIAV possa dar resposta de uma forma eficaz e em tempo útil a situações de exposição ou intoxicação com os mais variados produtos, é fundamental dispor de toda a informação necessária e imprescindível ao estudo e avaliação toxicológica dos produtos em causa.

Com este objetivo existe um quadro legislativo (Legislação) que determina a obrigatoriedade de disponibilizar ao CIAV as informações necessárias a uma resposta cabal na área da saúde.

O CIAV está legalmente obrigado a manter a confidencialidade das informações recebidas as quais são apenas acessíveis aos médicos do serviço e exclusivamente para fins médicos, nomeadamente em situações de urgência.

Com o objetivo de agilizar o processo de notificação por parte das empresas e tornar mais facilmente acessível a informação aos médicos do serviço, foi desenvolvida uma Plataforma de Notificação de Produtos (https://plataformanotificacaoprodutos.inem.pt/) que irá permitir às empresas carregar diretamente numa base de dados as informações necessárias referentes à:

1. Identificação do Notificador
2. Identificação da Empresa
3. Notificação de Produtos

O Manual de Utilização descreve as funcionalidades e recursos da Plataforma, explica o procedimento e a informação a disponibilizar.

Por cada produto notificado e uma vez validado pelo CIAV, será emitido o respetivo comprovativo de notificação, enviado automaticamente por email para a empresa e permanentemente disponível na Plataforma.

Product Notifications

To respond promptly and effectively to situations of exposure and/or intoxication by various products, it is fundamental for CIAV (Portuguese Poison Centre) to have all the necessary and indispensable information to be able to research and make a toxicological evaluation of the products concerned.
 
For this purpose there is a legislative framework (Legislation) regarding the obligation to communicate to CIAV the necessary information of existing products or those that will be available in the Portuguese market.
 
CIAV is legally obliged to maintain the confidentiality of the information received from companies and ensure that this information is only available to physicians and exclusively for medical purposes, in emergency situations particularly.
 
To optimize the notification process by companies and facilitate the access to the information by physicians, a Product Notification Platform (https://plataformanotificacaoprodutos.inem.pt/) was developed to allow companies to directly upload to a database the necessary information related to:

1. Submitter identification
2. Company identification
3. Product notification

 
The User Manual describes platform resources and functions, explains the procedure and the information required.
 
A Notification Certificate will be automatically issued and sent by email to the company for each product notified and validated by CIAV and will be permanently available on the platform.
