Toxic Chemical Substances Control Act Revised to Launch Chemical Substance Registration

摘要

In December 2013, President Ma Ying-jeou announced revisions to the Toxic Chemical Substances Control Act that will initiate a national registration system for chemical substances in 2014. The 17 revisions include the addition of 4 new articles and revisions to 13 existing articles, which will provide for the formulation of chemical substance management regulations, thereby facilitating control over the manufacture or import of such substances and enhancing the overall management of Category 4 toxic substances.
