Greetings!
The National Registration Centre for Chemicals of the State Administration of Work Safety (SAWS) in China has launched a new online HazChem registration system this month. Chinese importers of hazardous chemicals (or GHS classified chemicals) can now create their own user account in NRCC's New Online HazChem Registration System and start relevant registration work. As the chemicals to be registered under SAWS's order 53 are not limited to the chemicals in the Catalog of Hazardous Chemicals, Chinese importers shall not wait until the revised Catalog is published.
CIRS has summarized a list of 10 frequently asked questions regarding HazChem registrations in China. Please click here to download this FAQ.
best regards,
CIRS Regulatory Team.

Update of CFDA Reform and Its Impact on Cosmetics Registration in China
15 May 2013, China's State Commission Office for Public Sector Reform (SCOPSR) has officially announced the new organization structure of the reformed food & drug administration authority in China (now called China Food & Drug Administration) and their strengthened responsibilities on the administration of food, drug, medical device and cosmetics. One of the biggest changes for cosmetic companies is that imported ordinary use cosmetics will need to be registered with food & drug administration authorities at provincial level in the future, rather than the state authority in Beijing under current system. More info about CFDA reform can be found here.
