Chemical Watch Webinar Series

ERM Speaker: Joyce Chen, Senior Consultant
When placing chemical products on the Chinese market, it is essential that overseas enterprises are aware of and pay attention to two regulations.
The first, MEE Order 12, was officially implemented by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE) on 1 January 2021, replacing the original MEP Order 7 and becoming China’s management standard for new chemical substances. The second, SAWS Order 53, requires domestic manufacturers and importers to register hazardous chemicals with the National Registration Center for Chemicals (NRCC).

Under SAWS Order 53, the Ministry of Emergency Management (MEM) officially launched a new hazardous chemicals registration system on 16 February. For registered products that are manufactured or imported into China, the system will automatically generate a QR code and enterprises are obliged to provide this to downstream purchasers in the future. 

The aim of this webinar is to explain the challenges of registering new chemical substances in China, the requirements for registering hazardous chemicals registration under SAWS Order 53, and the impact on enterprises after the launch of the new hazardous chemicals registration system.

K-REACH: Get Prepared for the second batch of substances 100-1,000 t/a

South Korea’s K-REACH Regulation requires that the registration of existing substances be completed in stages. The first batch of existing substances above 1,000 t/a had to be registered by 31 December 2021. Registration of the second batch of existing substances with a tonnage of 100-1,000 t/a has started.

To achieve product compliance, it is essential that global companies with business in South Korea are aware of the challenges K-REACH registration presents and be well prepared. This webinar will discuss the current status of K-REACH, what has been learned, and how to prepare for the next round of registration. 

After this webinar participants will understand the process and current status of K-REACH registration and be able to plan the next steps for the registration of your company’s interested substances.
