Exports to EU chemicals face a new wave of "green tests"

Following the new EU chemicals REACH, the export of our products will face a new wave of “green testsâ€. Recently, the European Union has passed a legislative bill on the classification, labeling and packaging of chemical substances and mixtures, and has incorporated UN-recognized classification guidelines and labeling rules. The new regulations stipulate the classification of chemical substances and the guidelines or responsibilities of labels, which fills in the lack of specific chemical substance classifications and label content of REACH regulations, and complements them to build a common EU green barrier against dangerous chemicals. For this reason, special attention must be paid to the manufacturers and traders of chemical substances or mixtures in Europe.
The new Decree focuses on the interpretation of methods, requirements and time limits for chemical classification. It is reported that the bill aims to establish a self-categorization system for enterprises, requiring that traders importing substances or mixtures must be categorized according to the following methods: 1. Identify and elaborate their hazards; 2. Evaluate information on hazards; 3. Relevant The data is compared with the hazard criteria contained in the statutory bill. For labeling, the name, address, and telephone number of the supplier must be provided. Material or mixture information, hazard signs, hazard statements, caution statements, and supplementary information on hazards can be identified. After the bill comes into effect, the deadline for reclassification of substances is November 30, 2010, and the mixture is May 31, 2015. The current directive on classification, labelling and packaging will be withdrawn on June 1, 2015. The European Commission hopes that the statutory bill will be finalized by the European Parliament and the Council at the end of this year and will formulate guidelines on the application of the bill. It can be seen that the EU has adjusted the classification and labelling of chemicals quite specific, more targeted and flexible, and contains more follow-up regulations.
According to inspection and quarantine, the EU REACH only cites the relevant provisions of the "Directive on Hazardous Substances" and "Dangerous Preparation Guide" (1999/45/EC), and the chemical classification and labelling proposals will replace the existing substance classification, labeling and packaging materials (67/ 548/EEC Directive) and Mixture (Directive 1999/45/EC) further improved the EU chemicals management mechanism. Experts analyzed that the toxic risks posed by toxic chemicals to the human health, safety, and the environment in the chemical industry and downstream industries such as light industry, textiles, medicine, and machinery and electronics have always been of great concern to all countries in the world. The weakness of the EU REACH implementation of products hitting Europe will directly affect the export of Ningbo's 6 billion U.S. dollars worth of products, and so on. It is expected that the chemical classification and labeling laws will be in strict compliance with REACH, and the lethality is very severe. The chemical products exported to Europe are Under the common encirclement of the two, the road to export will be blocked, and the city's exports to Europe and other chemical products, especially textile and electromechanical costs, will generally increase.
The inspection and quarantine department reminded that in order to prevent irrational declines in European exports to Europe, companies are busy dealing with the EU REACH, and the implementation of the Chemical Classification and Labelling Act should not be an irritant. They must focus on the following aspects: First, Effective methods should be adopted to rigorously manage the classification of the production, sales, use, transportation and storage of different types of chemicals. In particular, it is necessary to grasp the hazard levels of chemicals, and the related hazard categories and the hazards to the body, health and environment. Guidelines to ensure that the chemical classification and labeling of products exported to Europe comply with EU requirements. Second, adopt quality control in the production process, strictly manage and use strictly according to the requirements of hazardous chemicals, resolutely eliminate the use of hazardous chemical substances, actively develop risk prevention systems for the use of toxic and hazardous substances, and improve management mechanisms for toxic and hazardous chemicals. Minimize the impact of regulations on export products.
