MEE released the final version of Guidance on New Chemical Substances Registration

To ensure the implementation of Measures for the Environmental Management Registration of New Chemical Substances (MEE Order No.12), MEE released the final version of Guidance on the application of MEE Order No.12 which is expected to come into force the same day as MEE Order No.12 on 1 January 2020. In the meantime, the previous guidance and its supporting measures issued in 2010 and data requirements issued in 2017 under MEP Order No.7 will be invalided.

This Guidance should be used together with MEE Order No.12 by applicants, agents and processing users. It contains guidance on registration scope, types, procedures, document and data requirement, special rules on polymer, new use management, certificates management, post-registration management and etc. Along with the guidance, relevant registration forms including registration application form, registration management form, information report form, and use code table are also released. Comparing to the previous scattered situation, MEE codified most of the requirements and instruction together into the Guidance and registration form instruction.
