Unique Formula Identifier唯一配方标识
A unique formula identifier is a 16-character alphanumeric code assigned by manufacturers or importers to a product formulation; it links the mixture to composition, product class, and hazard information that has been submitted to national poison centres. In EU product documentation the UFI appears on the label, safety data sheet, or packaging, allowing emergency responders to identify the exact formulation quickly during a poisoning incident.

Where this term appears
In translation and localization, UFI text appears in product label, safety data sheet, and regulatory dossier projects. Translators often adapt label templates while preserving the UFI code and the surrounding safety information. They may also translate the product name or hazard statements without altering the code itself.
Translation checks
A common error is treating the UFI as a translatable element or trying to localize its characters, which breaks the code and prevents poison centre lookup. Another is changing its placement rules or dropping the abbreviation “UFI” because the target language has a different term, which can cause non-compliant labeling.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Check intended use, warnings, document versions and approved terminology with the project team. Translation supports documentation; it does not establish product approval or regulatory acceptance.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
