Subtle changes made to the policy of emergency phone service for China’s new hazardous chemicals registration are making some registrants confused: How do I arrange my emergency phone service in view of China’s new hazardous chemicals registration?

Some received the NRCC reply that this special phone number should not be consigned to “unofficial” chemical research institutes or service agents as it used to be under the 2002 legislative version.

China SAWS updates the Measures on Hazardous Chemicals Registration today; major changes take place in subject applicants, scope of substances and the registration content, etc.
11 July 2012
Subsequent to near 10 years’ practice of the existing registration model for hazardous chemicals, the China State Administration of Work Safety has published today the updated edition of the “Measures for the Administration of Hazardous Chemicals Registration” (SAWS Order 53 of 2012). Hazardous chemicals importers have been incorporated into the registration obligation for the first time. The revision greatly promotes the implementation of GHS in China. Affected importers are now obliged to register the hazardous chemicals, prior to its first import in China, with local registration offices affiliated to their corresponding competent authorities of work safety. They will also face an escalated compliance urgency on GHS hazard classification, labelling, SDS making/updating and more visible regulatory concerns like hazard identification and risk control measures.
