China MEE Adds 42 Substances into IECSC

Content

36 substances, which were previously registered under the Measures on Environmental Management of New Chemical Substances (MEP Order No. 7 of 2010), are now qualified for listing into the IECSC as existing chemical substances in China.

The addition of 6 substances to IECSC proposed in late August (CL news) was adopted. These 6 substances were manufactured in or imported into China before October 15, 2003, which fulfilled the supplementation criteria but missed the previous supplementation window.

Obligations

They are now regulated as existing chemical substances in China, and thus free from new chemical registration or notification requirements under the MEE Order No.12. However, if the substance is used for industrial applications other than the permitted uses, new usage registration will be required.
