Industry Concerns over China’s Draft Regulation on Chemical Assessment and Control

Feb 01, 2019
Nadine He
China is to adopt a regulation on chemical environmental risk assessment and control similar to Canada CEPA, U.S. TSCA and Japan CSCL, rather than a REACH-like regulation.
The industry welcomes changes to new chemical management.
For annual reporting, the proposed frequency of reporting and the objects are the subject of heated debate.
The industry calls for stakeholder engagement, public awareness and transparency.

Although China was initially looking to develop a REACH-like regulation, considering administrative capacity and the administrative burdens inherent in a REACH-like regulation, China is instead opting to use a regulation similar to Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA). The regulation was newly drafted by China MEE, named as the Regulation on environmental risk assessment and control of chemical substances. It will make up for the limitations of Decree No. 591, and it will serve as the overarching regulation of environmental management of existing and new chemicals. The details of the regulation have been reported by ChemLinked, please click here to read more.

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.
