The application form with a guidance on how to prepare it was issued by MEP Notice 124 of 2010 as one of the supporting documents for China MEP Order 7. The manufacturer or importer should notify with the Chemical Registration Centre of MEP (CRC-MEP, now replaced by SCC-MEE) prior to actual manufacture or importation activities of the new chemical substances. The notification of new chemical substances can be classified into three types: Regular Notification, Simplified Notification and Scientific Research Record Notification.
Scientific research record notification has the simplest demand in all the three notification types. If your new substance meets any of the following conditions, you would need to apply for a scientific research record notification,
for the purpose of scientific research and development (R&D) and in very low quantities (<0.1 tonne per annum), or
as samples used for a compulsory eco-tox test that must be performed in a verified Chinese laboratory (which is also viewed as the prerequisite to the regular notification for imported new substances).
The application form for scientific research record notification of new chemical substances contains three parts, including,
Information of the notifier.
