Updated on April 2014

CIRS's China New Substance Registration Watch delivers the latest statistics on new substance registration certificates issued by the Ministry of Environmental Protection(MEP) of China since 15 Oct 2010 when the Provisions on the Environmental Administration of New Chemical Substances of China came into force. Our statistics is based on the data published on MEP's website.

Congratulations!

24 April 2014, China MEP has issued the 5th batch of China new chemical substance notifications to be approved in 2014 for public consultations. This batch includes 8 high-tonnage new chemical substances, among which 4 have been prepared and submitted by CIRS.

Up to date, approximately 20% of typical notifications of new substances (>1t/y) approved in China have been prepared by CIRS since MEP Order No.7 came into force in Oct 2010, making CIRS a true global leader of China REACH compliance services.
