1 Chemical Regulations in CHINA - Actions needed to become compliant -

2 Existing regulations, expected changes

3 Key Regulations Measures on Environmental Management of New Chemical Substances 2010 (nicknamed China REACH ) Regulations on Safe Management of Hazardous Chemicals in China (1994, amended several times, latest amendment expected to be in force ) China GHS, standards on the Classification, Labeling and Packaging of Chemicals and Chinese SDS (2011) Note: other product specific regulations / measures may apply Provision on the First Import of Chemicals and the Import and Export of Toxic Chemicals (1994) Regulation on the Labor Protection in Workplace Handling Toxic Materials (2002) Measure for supervision of imported and exported cosmetics (2011) Measure for administration of pesticide (2007) Measure for the administration of pharmaceutical precursor chemicals (2010)

4 Measures on Environmental Management of New Chemical Substances (nicknamed China REACH )

5 China REACH Scope In Nutshell China REACH: A system of notification obligations applicable to the manufacture, import, processing and use of new chemical substances in the territory of China. Applies to all new substances (=not in Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances Produced or Imported in China, IECSC) irrespective of annual tonnage Substances manufactured or imported, in preparations or in articles (substances intended to be released), Substances used as ingredients / intermediates in pharma, pesticudes, cosmetics, food and more

6 China REACH Scope in Nutshell Notification prior to manufacture or import : No notification, no market Existing penalties: If you fail to submit notification Warning Fines Directed to stop manufacture / import Notification prevented within next 3 years Chinese Authorities: Chemical registration Centre of the Ministry of Environmental Protection (CRC-MEP)

7 China REACH 2010 Scope in nutshell: Definition of New Substance Starting point: Inventory of existing Chemical Substances Produced or Imported in China (IECSC) Latest release 6 dec 2010 Covers substances substances with CAS number without CAS number, identification includes technical work substances are confidential (can not be seen by accessing CRC s list), access only through the authority => Formal check agaist IECSC is necessary If not included in IECSC, new substance => notifiation

8 China REACH 2010 Scope In Nutshell: Definition of New Substance Special case, new substances manufactured or imported in China before Oct 15th, 2003: Only application for IECSC inclusion

9 China REACH Scope compared with REACH IECSC is not EINECS: substances in EINECS and substances preregistered as phase-in substances under REACH compared with substances in IECSC Hits manufacturers/exporters of speciality chemicals and also manufacturers/exporters of mixtures. Chinese domestic manufacturers in many cases focus on bulk chemicals

10 China REACH - Exemptions Four major categories of chemical substances exempted: 1. Chemicals subject to other existing laws and regulations; Radioactive substances, military industry products, pyrotechnics, biotic substances, pesticides, veterinary drugs, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, foods, food additives, feed, feed additives, tobacco and tobacco products. 2. Substances existing in nature Substances that are unprocessed, or that are manufactured or processed only through the methods listed below: 1) Manual; 2) Mechanical; 3) Gravitational; 4) Soluble in water; 5) Floatation in water; 6) Heat dehydration. Extracted from the atmosphere through various means; Natural polymers, except for ones that are chemically modified;

11 China REACH - Exemptions 3. Substances of noncommercial purpose or unintentionally produced 1. Impurities; 2. Products of random reactions; 3. Products of random reactions that occur when a chemical substance, mixture, or article is in storage; 4. Products of reactions that occur when a chemical substance, mixture, or article is in final use; 5. Waste water, waste gas, solid waste, and by-products. 4. Special categories 1 Glass; 2.Frit; 3. Pottery raw materials and ceramic ware; 4. Steel and steel products; 5. High-alumina cement; 6. Portland cement; 7. Articles; 8. Homogeneous and heterogeneous alloys, except for metal compounds and precisely defined intermetallic compounds 9. Non-isolated intermediates.

12 China REACH - Notification by Whom Manufacturer or importer of the substance in China Foreign companies: Case 1: Foreign company acting in China Notification by themselves Notification by an appointed local Chinese agent Case 2: foreign company not acting in China Notification requires appointment of a local agent (several requirements apply (next slide) The appointment letter (Power of Attorney) needs to be submitted to the Chemical Registration Centre

13 China REACH: Requirements for China REACH Representative The Representative needs to: Be a company registered in mainland China which has passed annual industrial and commercial inspections. Have an office address, a fixed place of work in mainland China (not just a mailbox address). Have a share capital of over RMB 3,000,000 (about 300,000 euros)

14 China REACH: Requirements for China REACH Representative The representative needs to: Have personnel with professional experience of the regulation Be capable of fulfilling the regulatory obligations on behalf of the non-chinese manufacturer Accept to be subject to supervision and inspection of the Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) Have no record of penalties for violation of China REACH within a period of 3 years Not have officers of MEP, the Expert Evaluation Committee or other relevant authorities as staff members

15 China REACH Types of Notification (4) 1. Normal notification New substance manufactured or imported > 1 tonne / year 2. Simplified notification New substance manufactured < 1 tonne / year 3. Simplified notification under specific conditions New substance Only export < 1 tonne / year For scientific reseach tonne / year For technical reseach < 10 tonne / year Polymers with all monomers already included in IECSC Polymers containing less than 2 % new substances (weight) Low concern polymers

16 China REACH Type of Notification (4) 4. Scientific research record Substances only for scientific research and Annual volume < 0.1 tonne / year Or if the sample is to be tested in Chinese laboratories

17 China REACH: Start Notification Process (Data Requirements and Our Services Later in the Presentation) Define your substances and collect data needed for information form Fill and submit information form IECSC check if new substance (by authority) Our practice Typical Notification Simplified notification Scientific record IECSC inclusion application No notification General Specific Case study

18 China REACH Normal Notification: Data Requirements Form Chinese SDS Classification and labeling according to Chinese GHS Test report: Physico-chemical properties, toxicity and ecotoxicity Four levels, the higher the tonnage band, the more data required Risk assessment report Qualification of used laboratories Other related documents Takes from 4 to over 15 months

19 China REACH Simplified Notification: Data Requirements Under basic conditions: Form 1-3 eco-toxicological tests must be carried out in China Takes 4-6 months Under specific conditions: Form For polymers, composition data about monomer, GPC data, and polymerization mechanism shall be given. No test data is required Takes 2-3 months

20 China REACH Scientific Research Record Form No test data is required Takes only 5-10 working days Results published by MEP regularly

21 China REACH Notification: Review Expert Review Committee on Environment Management of New Chemical Substances of the Ministry of Environmental Protection ( Expert Review Committee ) carries out a review Sends it to the Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) Depending on the assessment, MEP issues a certificate on registration of the substance ( Registration Certificate ).

22 China REACH: Data requirements and the process compared with REACH Data requirements, key differences: Toxicological as well as ecotoxicological tests are in some cases more demanding than under REACH Example: data needs in lower tonnage bands 1-10 tonne/ year The process, key differences You have to submit new substances notification before starting export! Applies under 1 tonne / year Use of Chinese labs (appointed by Chinese authorities)

23 China REACH - Costs Data cost Depending on the tonnage band, data cost can vary from to over Service cost No administrative costs

24 China REACH - Post Notification Obligations Simplified Notification Submit annual plan (for next year); Keep documents on file for over 10 years; Scientific Research Record Requirements of professionals and facilities; General new chemical substances Communicate MSDS to downstream users; Implement risk management measures; Submit first-activity report; Keep documents on file for over 10 years; Do not sell chemicals to downstream users who are not capable of implementing risk management measures; Submit updates if new hazard arises;

25 China REACH - Post notification obligations - additional Hazardous New Chemical Substances Submit annual report (for previous year); Comply with The Measures for The Administration of Registration of Hazardous Chemicals Priority hazardous new chemical substances for environmental management Submit report on disposal information;

26 China REACH - Special Cases Serial notification applies when Similar molecular structure Identical or similar uses Similar test data Joint notification Typical notification or serial notification Jointly submitted by two or more notifiers Independent registration certificate for each notifier
