China MEP to approve another 12 typical notifications of new substances
30 August 2012, Chinese Ministry of Environment Protection (MEP) has published another 12 typical notifications of new substances for consultations. Among 12 typical notifications, one high-level typical notification (100-1000t/y) was completed by CIRS.
This is a milestone showing the technical breakthrough of CIRS in the notification of new chemical substances in China. We have given an interview to Mr Wang Qiwei from CIRS who is in charge of dossier preparation and chemical risk assessment for the new substance, in order to try to help the industry to cope with the problems encountered during the process of dossier preparation and expert technical review. It is expected to shorten the notification period significantly if the notifiers could solve these problems prior to dossier submission.
More info about the 12 newly approved substances and this interview can be found here.
