China MEP to approve another 12 typical notifications of new substances

Original Article by CIRS

30 August 2012, Chinese Ministry of Environment Protection (MEP) has published another 12 typical notifications of new substances for consultations. Notification certificates will be issued shortly if there is no objection from the public.  All previous 13 typical notifications are approved on the same day.  

Among 12 typical notifications, one high-level typical notification (100-1000t/y) was completed by CIRS. This is a milestone showing the technical breakthrough of CIRS in the notification of new chemical substances in China. The writer of this article has given an interview to Mr Wang Qiwei from CIRS who is in charge of dossier preparation and chemical risk assessment for the new substance, in order to try to help the industry to cope with the problems encountered during the process of dossier preparation and expert technical review. It is expected to shorten the notification period significantly if the notifiers could solve these problems prior to dossier submission. More info about this interview can be found here.


The names of the 12 new substances, notifiers, type of notification and management category are listed as below:

Background Information

Typical notification is required for new chemical substances to be manufactured or imported at or above the annual volume of 1 ton. China MEP has only issued 2 typical notification certificates last year.

Full statistics about the number of new substance registration certificates issued can be found at CIRS’s China New Substance Registration Watch.


After notification is completed, a registration certificate containing specific management category will be issued. Certificate holder needs to fulfill different post-notification obligations depending on the management category of the substance.

Chemical substances will be categorized as general new chemical substances or hazardous new chemical substances. Hazardous new chemical substances possessing persistent, bio-accumulative properties or are harmful to ecological environment and human health will be further classified as priority hazardous new chemical substances for environmental management.


More information about post-notification obligations can be found here.
