Regulatory Authorities in the Chemical Regulation of Singapore are National Environment Agency (NEA) and the Ministry of Manpower. NEA is the authority to regulate some environmentally harmful substances. The Ministry of Manpower requires employers to communicate chemical hazard information to workers and reduce chemical exposure.
Companies import, sell, export, purchase, use, or transport any hazardous substances controlled under the Environmental Protection and Management Act (EPMA) need to apply for hazardous substance license or permit.
Singapore manages industrial chemicals through a network of statutory control lists and activity-based authorizations rather than a single pre-market “national inventory.” The central framework is the Environmental Protection and Management Act (EPMA) and the Environmental Protection and Management (Hazardous Substances) Regulations [123, 124].
