China MEE Updates IECSC: 43 Chemicals Added in June 2023
Update:
China MEE recently issued two notices to announce the addition of 43 chemical substances to the IECSC.
The proposal of adding 4 substances to the IECSC made in February 2023 has been adopted.
39 substances, which were previously registered under the Measures on Environmental Management of New Chemical Substances (MEP Order No. 7 of 2010), are now qualified for listing in the IECSC as existing chemical substances in China. They are now regulated as existing chemical substances in China, and thus free from new chemical registration or notification requirements under the MEE Order No.12. However, if the substance is used for industrial applications other than the permitted uses, new usage registration will be required.
On February 13, 2023, the Chinese Ministry of Ecology and Environment (MEE) published a notice to solicit comments on the addition of 4 substances to the Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances in China (IECSC). Comments are welcome before February 24, 2023.
Details of these substances can be accessed here, including chemical name (both in Chinese and English), CAS number or Series number, molecular formula, structural formula, etc. These 4 substances were manufactured in or imported into China before October 15, 2003, which fulfilled the supplementation criteria but missed the previous supplementation window. They are expected to be regulated as existing chemical substances in China, and thus free from new chemical registration or notification requirements under the MEE Order No. 12.
This is the first batch of existing chemical substances that are going to be added to the IECSC in 2023. The last update to the IECSC was made on December 5 of 2022, adding 42 substances. (See the news)
