UFI Generator

The UFI Generator creates a deterministic EU Unique Formula Identifier for hazardous mixtures required for poison center notifications. It accepts data about the product and the responsible entity, canonicalizes fields, and computes a 16-character UFI. The process is deterministic; the same inputs always yield the same code, enabling traceability across labeling, SDS, and regulatory notifications. It supports mandatory inputs such as product_identifier, hazard_class, and responsible_party, with optional fields to refine specificity. Outputs include the UFI and a provenance record showing inputs used to derive it. The tool helps compliance teams by reducing manual calculation errors and ensuring consistency across EU member states. Core value lies in automating the encoding of regulatory data into a compact identifier that is easy to store and reuse in SDS and labeling workflows. Use cases include new product launches, packaging updates, and safety data sheet revisions. The algorithm emphasizes data normalization, stable field ordering, and a hashing-based encoding to produce a stable UFI while protecting sensitive input values.
