Guidance for the Implementation of China 2015 Inventory of Hazardous Chemicals

On Aug 19th, the State Administration of Work Safety (SAWS) issued the Guidance for the Implementation of China Inventory of Hazardous Chemicals (Trial) (hereinafter referred as the “Implementation Guidance”).

The 2015 Inventory of Hazardous Chemicals entered in force this May 1st to guide the administrative work of the 10 authorities involved in the administration of these chemicals as well as to help clarify industries’ obligations under State Council Decree 591 and its sub-regulations. Adhering to the previous work plan and based on the frequently asked questions about the Inventory (e.g. which products fall under the indefinite entry No.2828), SAWS formulated the Implementation Guidance to further specify the implementation rules (main body of the document) under its own jurisdiction and provide the official classification results of the listed chemicals (annex).

To be more specific, chemical companies should refer to the Implementation Guidance to find out whether relevant products require:

  • (Physical) Hazard identification and classification

  • Labeling and SDSs

  • Hazchem registration

  • Administrative licensing in terms of production, use and operation.

In terms of transport requirements, stakeholders should refer to regulatory documents published by the administrations of transport, railway, civil aviation, etc.

SAWS welcomes feedbacks on the guidance document from industry (contact Mr. LU Xu, Supervision Department III, 010-64463239).
