The release of the revised “Measures on the Administration of Hazardous Chemicals Registration” (SAWS Order 53) is expected to cast a widespread impact on the industry. For the first time, registration obligations have been extended to importers. Nevertheless, the practical compliance of these updates and compliance with these new requirements are not clear for the industry in terms of the registration scope and registration requirements and procedures.
ChemLinked have gathered an expert panel to navigate the affected companies in this dynamic regulatory environment in China and share pragmatic compliance tips in the absence of a series of to-be-published supporting documents and the revised Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals.
