36 Substances Added into China's List of Existing Chemical Substances

China,Chemical,Existing,Substance,IECSC,Supplementation

On December 5, 2022, China's Ministry of Ecological Environment (MEE) announced the addition of a batch of 36 substances that fulfill the requirements of existing substances into the Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances Produced or Imported in China (IECSC).

These 36 substances were all registered under the original MEP Order 7 and five years have passed since they reported their first activity.

The MEE only gave the name and CAS number for five substances while the rest were given the class name and swift number, it is expected they will be included in the confidential inventory. The lack of CAS numbers makes it more difficult for enterprises to determine whether their substances are new substances. Furthermore, some substances are also subject to new use management.

CIRS warmly reminds you that related enterprises must make sure whether their substances are existing substances. The Provisions on Environmental Administration of New Chemical Substances (MEE Order 12) require enterprises to complete new substance registration/record before manufacturing or importing, or they may face various punishments.

To find out whether your substance is listed in IECSC, please search CIRS free Asia Pacific Inventory System (APCISS).
