Taiwan’s EPA encourages companies to prepare their PEC Registration now

According to the amended Toxic and Concerned Chemical Substance Control Act, Taiwan’s EPA has to regularly review its fee scheme.

According to the proposed revision on “the Toxic Chemical Substances Handling Application and Chemical Substances Registration Fee Scheme” in September 2020, 25 % discount on the review fee is proposed for SMEs with additional discount possibilities if companies adopt alternative testing methods or submit their PECs registration one year ahead of the deadline.

At the public meetings, the EPA highlighted that registrants may submit the registration dossier without hazard and exposure assessments and the revised guideline for PEC standard registration may expand to multi-source data.

With 60 days for public comments, the EPA is expected to announce a new fee scheme and PECs registration deadlines.

Companies should expect longer time for dossier preparation and back-and-forth conversation within the supply chain. It is also important to note that join-registration is not mandatory. Contact GPC (compliance@gpcregulatory.com) to prepare your dossier now and gain lead time.
