Taiwan will propose a list of "chemical substances of concern" before the end of the year

2019-11-14

Taiwan will submit a list of "Chemicals of Concern" by the end of the year, with 30 administrative drafts expected to support the TCSCCA. Chen Shu-ling, Deputy Director of the Toxic and Chemical Substances Bureau (TCSB) of the Environmental Protection Administration, stated, "Taiwan will submit a list of 'Chemicals of Concern' by the end of the year." This terminology is not equivalent to the US TSCA, or Substances of Concern (SoCs), or EU REACH Substances of Very High Concern (SVHCs). Instead, it refers to substances that have raised public concern due to food safety, public health, and industrial accidents. Chen Shu-ling said, "The Bureau is currently discussing assessment criteria and screening with relevant stakeholders, using a 'risk management' approach to identify these substances." At the International Symposium on Chemical and Mercury Management held in Taipei on August 7-8, Deputy Director Chen stated that the focus will be on substances with one or more of the following characteristics: – Food safety concerns – High risk – Mass-produced substances – Corrosive toxins – Accidental risks – Potential for use in illicit poisons. Deputy Director Chen added that chemicals of concern will not be subject to the same stringent regulations as toxic substances. They will not be subject to the same requirements, such as: – submitting a shipping manifest and tracking shipments in real time, or – establishing a complete risk response system – unless the substance is specifically identified as a hazardous substance. However, manufacturers or importers must: – submit a special treatment application – ensure compliance with labeling and safety data sheet (SDS) requirements – submit a specific treatment or use report. This substance is included in and regulated under the Toxic and Chemicals of Concern Act (TCSCCA). The act was passed in January of this year and will take effect on January 16, 2020. The TCSCCA has been renamed and its regulations expanded from the previous version, the Toxic and Chemicals of Concern Act (TCSCA), to include substances of concern in addition to chemical toxins. When the amended bill is fully implemented, the number of substances included will increase significantly, currently totaling 340 chemical toxins. Further Administrative Regulations Deputy Director Chen said, "The Environmental Protection Administration will solicit public opinion and further announce 30 amendments or new administrative regulations to support the bill. The Legislative Yuan does not need to approve them." He added, "Four of them will be announced by the end of August," but did not specify which ones. Earlier this year, revisions to some executive draft bills were announced, including: – Revisions to the enforcement rules of the bill – Provisions related to the protection and assistance of whistleblowers – Rewards for compliance with the bill. Officials from the National Chemical Substances Administration (NCSA) also stated that the Executive Yuan-level National Chemical Substances Management Committee, authorized by the amended law, was established in June. This committee, directly convened by Premier Su Tseng-chang, comprises 28 members from 16 ministries and agencies, environmental and NGOs, as well as professional and academic experts.
