The revised version of Measures on the Environmental Management of New Chemical Substances has been dubbed "China REACH", since it draws on many elements of REACH, particularly those concerning risk assessment, risk management and data submission.
China REACH - Version 2010, adopted on 30 December 2009 and published in January 2010, will come into effect from 15 October 2010. After that, the old Regulation issued on 12 September 2003 will be abolished. (RCS 2 February 2010)
The old text of China REACH has been replaced by the new version and has been translated into English by the RCS team. If you want the revised English version, please enter our ebook store for the full legislative text in English (MEP Order No 7) and the China REACH Guidance (in English) .
