Revised guidance made public
Upon the implementation of the new and existing chemical substance registration of Taiwan MOL and EPA, further updates are intensively coming up. EPA has currently released the first edition of the Guidance for the Regulation of New and Existing Chemical Substance Registration. With interagency coordination efforts, this edition was developed based on the MoL copy published earlier on January 1st 2015. Compare to the Guidance of New Chemical Substance Registration under MoL’s scheme, minor amendments/clarification on the definition and the support measurements of articles, SRD, PPORD, and the TPR mechanism have been revised and updated.
Also, the Guidance for the Registration of Substances Used for Scientific Research and Development & PPORD are also released. You will find that more flexible application scope for the chemicals manufactured or imported for the purpose of industrial S&RD are applied. Both the Guidances are attached for your reference (Both in English only).
Meanwhile, it is said in recent series of EPA seminars that the agency is planning to enforce the border control to intensify the strength and the management efficiency of the registration regulation. Once the border control is carried out, the Self-confirmation Certificate before import will be needed. The details of the self-confirmation are still under development, however, close attention would be suggested.
