Guidance for China REACH
May 11, 2011
The chemical regulatory framework in China has become increasingly influenced by global chemical regulations, in particular the European and US models. Since China became a member of the WTO in 2001, the government has been committed to revising China’s chemical regulations. The previous legislation concerning the management of new chemical substances in China was amended on October 15th 2010, through the enactment of the "Measures for the Environmental Management of New Chemical Substances" (the "Measures") by China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP). This regulation is similar to EU REACH and adopts several of the same principles and concepts of the European regulation, and thus has been dubbed "China REACH". However, China REACH is a general term for legislation covering hazardous, toxic and new chemical substances (Figure 1), while the Measures specifically regulate new chemical substances.

China GHS - Introduction, Updates and Technical Know-How on Classification, SDS, Labeling and Packaging
Apr 20, 2011
GHS, which stands for “Globally Harmonized System”, is a hazardous chemicals management system that addresses issues such as classification, Safety Data Sheet, Labeling and Packaging of hazardous chemicals. It was first proposed in the UN Sustainable Conference (WSSD) in Johannesburg, 2002, promising easier communication of hazards posed by chemicals and ultimately, protection of human health, environment and trade facilitation.

Mar 29, 2011
On 15th October 2010, a REACH-style legislature that regulates the environmental risk and hazard of China's new chemical substances, 'Measures for the Environmental Management of New Chemical Substances', came into effect, under the Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) Order No. 7. This regulation adopts several of the same principles and concepts of the European regulation, and thus has been dubbed ‘China REACH’.

China GHS - Background, Updates, GB Standards, Classification, Labelling and SDS
Feb 24, 2011
In order to enhance the safety of human health and the environment, the GHS (Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of chemicals) was issued as a recommendation from the United Nations in 2003. The purpose of implementing GHS is for the provision of a recognized framework for countries without an existing system, to reduce the need for testing and evaluation of chemicals and to facilitate the international trade in chemicals whose hazards have been properly assessed and identified.

National Standards in China GHS
Feb 06, 2011
The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals or GHS refers to a global harmonized system for hazard definition, classification and communication for chemicals. GHS covers all hazardous chemical substances or mixtures and classifies them according to their physical, health and environmental hazards. Following classification, the hazards can be communicated through labelilng and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS).

China’s New Pollutants Treatment: A Long Way to Go
New pollutants refer to toxic and hazardous substances that are discharged into the environment with characteristics of biological toxicity, environmental persistence and bioaccumulation, etc. They tend to possess significant risks to the ecological environment or human health, but are usually unregulated or the existing regulation measures are insufficient. As one of the largest chemical producers in the world, it is paramount for China to strengthen the regulation of new pollutants to mitigate potential risks to the environment and human health.
