China REACH: Preparing Risk Assessment Reports

Since a major revision of China's Measures on Environment Management of New Chemical Substances came into force last October, companies wishing to manufacture or import a new substance in China have been obliged to first notify new chemical substances - those not listed on the Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances in China (IECSC) - to the Chemical Registration Centre (CRC). Under the regime, regular notifications for substances must include a risk assessment report.
