OVERVIEW

In the recent years, growth and development of the global chemical industry have been staggering. The rate of innovation as well as discovery in the world of chemical industry has exceeded the predictions and expectations of many experts. In order to avoid unwanted casualties concerning safety, health, and environment, governing legislators are obligated to update and improve regulations concerning chemical products manufacture and trade to ensure a greener and safer environment. A grasp of information to these updates would be crucial to ensure chemical companies in Malaysia to be well-prepared at an encounter of the chemical regulatory walls. On the 24th of March 2015, REACH24H proudly presents a seminar dedicated to deliver the latest global regulatory progresses, insightful expert opinions and cutting-edge solutions to these rising barriers. The one day event would cover everything from the recently published new chemical registration procedures in South Korea and Taiwan, to GHS implementation in major countries in Asia and Europe.

A QUICK GLANCE INTO THE EVENTS

I. Introduction of Korean REACH

The Act on Registration and Evaluation of Chemicals of Korea (K-REACH) was published on the 22 May 2013 and has just been recently implemented on 1 Jan 2015. It is regarded as the first REACH-style chemical regulation adopted in an Asian country. K-REACH manages new chemical substances, existing chemical substances and downstream products by prescribing the requirements for registration, hazard evaluation and risk assessment. Topic to be discussed in this section would include the introduction of the legislation background, the obligations, comparison of the regulation with EU-REACH, and case studies on how the regulation would impact various industries.

II. Management on New & Existing Chemical Substance Registration under Taiwan TCSCA/OSHA

Taiwan Toxic Chemical Substances Control Act (TCSCA) was first issued in November 1986. The latest amendment of TCSCA was published on December 11, 2013 by the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) and had come into force as of December 11, 2014. It is of great significance that the idea of the new and existing chemical substances management substances was brought into the revised TCSCA. In addition, Taiwan has made good progress establishing its chemical substance inventory and taking a stepwise approach towards effectively implementing a risk-based chemicals management system. Topics that would be covered in this section would include a brief introduction of the legislation, procedures towards compliance, its comparison with EU-REACH, and case studies on how the regulation would impact various industries.

III. GHS implementation in main Asia Pacific countries

The final “Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for classification and labelling” standard was created at the 1992 Rio Conference on Environment and Development. The GHS was designed to replace all the diverse classification systems and present one universal standard which all countries should follow (however, the GHS is not compulsory under UN law). Over the years countries all over the world had updated their own classification and labelling standard to match and follow the GHS to improve safe and health in work environment. This includes major countries in the Asia Pacific region. In this section, the implementation of GHS and different rules of SDS and Labelling in various countries in Asia i.e. Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Philippines, Thailand and etc. would be discussed.

IV. Brief Introduction on Significant Regulations in Southeast Asia Countries

As one of the most critical trading regions in the world, the implementation of various regulations encompassing the world of chemical substance production and trade in the region is indeed a smart and crucial move by the governing officials in each country of the region. An understanding of the diverse regulations in the area would be beneficial for chemical companies to enhance their market opportunities in Southeast Asia. Three of the most recent updated regulations would be discussed in this section, i.e. “The Law Environmental Protection of People’s Republic of Vietnam”, “Hazardous Substance Control Act (Thailand)” and new chemical substance notification regulation details.

V. Details of China GHS Implementation and Hazardous Chemicals Registration

China’s adoption of UN GHS (global harmonized system) can be traced back all the way to the early 90s. Over the years, the GHS system in China has grown significantly encompassing a number of Orders, Measures and Standards released by different government sectors. On the other hand, Order 53 is the latest regulation released by State Administration of Work Safety (SAWS) to enhance control on hazardous chemicals in China. It is a key regulation in China that takes special concern on hazardous chemical’s production, import/export, use, storage, transport and waste disposal. Topics to be discussed in this section would include the introduction of regulatory framework of hazardous chemical administration and GHS regulation updates in China.

VI. Compliance Strategies on China New Chemical Substances Notification

“Measures on the Environmental Management of New Chemical Substance” (MEP Order No.7) was released by the Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP), aimed to supervise the production, import/export, use, storage, transport and environmental impact of all new chemicals in China. The regulation came into force in 2010 and had been revised several times to fulfill the needs for a better control over new chemical substances in China. In this section, topics including regulation background, notification procedure, post obligations case study, and etc. would be covered.
