Asia-Pacific chemical legislation
ReachCentrum has signed a partnership agreement with SCAS Europe to deliver support services related to Asia-Pacific Chemical Notifications and Registrations. The new collaboration targets European and non European companies needing to comply with such legislations.
Do you need to know more about Chemical Substances Notification and Registration in Japan and other Asian countries? Japan requires the notification of the tonnage of imported chemical substances at national and/or prefecture levels since April 2011.
In October 2010, the revised chemical law came into effect in China. Multi-regional approach is increasing being used for global notifications and registrations. Knowing regulations in Asian countries is important to comply with each requirement and to expand your business.
In order to support chemical companies to meet their obligations under the Asia-Pacific chemical notifications and registration regulations, ReachCentrum and Scas Europe* have therefore decided to signup a partnership that will promote services provided by SCAS Europe in this field.
| NEWS! 15 February 2012 - Are your substances prepared for reporting by your Japanese importers or a subsidiary company? |
| Annual Reporting of chemical substances became obligatory in the fiscal year 2011. This means that first reporting was done from 1 April to 30 June 2011. However, Japanese government published that the reported number of chemical substances are much less that they expected. There would be many companies who will encounter this obligation in 2012 for the first time.
Manufacturers/Importers in Japan shall report their chemical name, amounts, uses, etc. to METI (Ministry of Economy Trade and Industry). If your chemical substances are categorized into "Priority Assessment Chemical Substance”, more detail is required, compared to "General Chemical Substance”. Are your substances prepared for reporting by your Japanese importers or a subsidiary company? |
