On Feb. 27th, China’s Inventory of Hazardous Chemicals (2015) was jointly issued by 10 departments under the central government. It will take effect from May 1st, 2015 and replace the Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals (2002) and Inventory of Chinese Highly Toxic Chemicals (2002).
China’s Inventory of Hazardous Chemicals contains 2828 well-recognized hazardous chemicals, in which 148 are defined as “highly toxic”. Hazardous chemicals are selected from chemicals which are classified into certain GHS hazard categories (e.g. toxic, corrosive, explosive, inflammable, combustible, etc.) and pose threats to human health, facilities and the environment. The Inventory helps guide the administrative work of the authorities as well as clarify industries’ obligations under State Council Decree 591 and its sub-regulations.
Note: The Entry 1674 was updated in 2022, see China Inventory of Hazardous Chemicals (2015) (Entry 1674 updated in 2022).
