Thinkings and Key Tasks in 13th Five-year Plan Period1. General ideaBearing in mind the environmental quality improvement as core, aiming atcontrolling the environmental and health risks of chemicals, drived byreform and innovation, by means of identification, assessment and control,fulfilling systemic, scientific, legal, refined, and information managementrequirements, to carry out the top design, to improve the managementsystem, to strengthen the base support, to set up the limited goals, to beproactive, to make the new progress in the chemical environmentalmanagement .3
Thinkings and Key Tasks in 13th Five-year Plan PeriodA system of laws and regulationsis basically establishedThe risk is under control for chemicalsin international conventionsGoals by2020Database on chemical hazardcharacteristicsis basically completedsignificant achievement on theprevention and control of toxic andharmful pollutantscapacity for hazards identificationand risk assessmentis preliminarily formed4
Thinkings and Key Tasks in 13th Five-year Plan PeriodKey TasksOne strategyTwo regulationsThree basic blocksFour missionsSix mechanisms5
Thinkings and Key Tasks in 13th Five-year Plan Period1. One strategy To conduct a study on national strategy for chemicalenvironmental management, to clarify the basic guidelines,principles, policies and overall strategic goals of the nationalchemical environmental management To build a chemical risk management framework To propose mid and long-term chemical risk assessment andrisk management action plans and chemical environmentalmanagement capacity building programme6
Thinkings and Key Tasks in 13th Five-year Plan Period2. Two legislation on environmental management of chemicals Actively seeking to incorporate chemical environmentalmanagement in the soil pollution prevention law Pushing for a specific chemical environmental managementregulation3. Three basic blocks Construction of chemical environmental and health riskassessment technology system. Basic database of chemical hazard characteristics. Professional team building.7
Thinkings and Key Tasks in 13th Five-year Plan Period4. Four missions Chemicals risk assessment Restriction and elimination of high-risk chemicals To promote the prevention and control of toxic and harmfulpollutants To strengthen cooperation and communication8
Thinkings and Key Tasks in 13th Five-year Plan Period5. Six mechanisms To reform the regulation for the registration of new chemicalsubstances To adjust the regulation for the registration of hazardouschemicals To establish a regular investigation system for the productionand use of chemicals To perfect the chemical hazard identification system To improve the chemical environment risk assessment system To improve the information reporting system for environmentalrelease of key environmental management hazardous chemicals9
Main progress in 201712Environmental management ofexisting chemicalsEnvironmental management ofnew chemical substances10
Environmental management of existing chemicals1.Announcement on publishing the list of China's severelyrestricted toxic chemicals (2018)（ former MEP announcement 2017 NO. 74）POPsconventionPIC convention lead tetramethideMinamata Lindane lead tetraethyl PCTconvention Perfluorooctane sulfonic SCCPacid (PFOS), its salts and Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid,perfluorooctane sulfonyl tributyl tin compoundfluoride (PFOS-F)perfluorooctane sulfonates, Hexabromocyclododecaneperfluorooctane sulfonamides and mercuryperfluorooctane sulfonyls11
Environmental management of existing chemicalsGoal：To strengthen the management on toxic chemicalsReferences： Regulations on safety management of hazardous chemicals POPs convention Minamata convention PIC convention12
Environmental management of existing chemicalsRequirements： For the import or export of toxic chemicals included inthe list, one must apply in advance to the MEE for theClearance Notification for Environmental Managementon the Import/Export of Toxic Chemcials. The import and export operators must show theClearance Notification to the Customs for its clearance.13

Environmental management of existing chemicalsBasis for the listAssessment on theenvironmentaland health risks ofexisting chemicalsPriority control list ofchemicals was releasedat the end of 201715
Environmental management of existing chemicalsFocus on chemicals With high inherent hazard properties May exist for a long time in the environment Could pose a greater risk to the environment and humanhealthMeasures Incorporated with the pollutant discharge permit system Restrictive measures Implement the system of clean production audit andinformation disclosure16
Environmental management of new chemical substances1. Announcement for adjusting the data requirements inthe guidance for the registration of new chemicalsubstances （former MEP announcement 2017 NO. 42）minimum requirements fortoxicological dataminimumrequirements al dataAdjustmentsExemption conditions of physicaland chemical properties dataExemption conditionsfor toxicology dataExemption conditionsfor ecotoxicology data17
Environmental management of new chemical substancesPrinciples1.Streamline administration and delegate power to lower levels, andlighten the burden on enterprise2.Simplify data requirement, conform to management practice3.Enhance scientificness and standardization18
Environmental management of new chemical substancesImprovements Quantitative data exemption conditions or parameters arerefined; Terminology is improved; Relevant technical content is improved19
Environmental management of new chemical substances2. Announcement for Guidelines for on-site verification of ecologicaltoxicology data for environmental management of new chemicalsubstances registration（former MEP announcement 2017 NO. 70）Goal：To standardize on-site verification of ecological toxicology test datain environmental management registration of new chemical substancesMain content: make clear requirements on verification institutions andpersonnel, verification objects and contents, result processing, etcProgress: the first on-site verification was conducted at the end of 201720
Environmental management of new chemical substancesverification objects :In principle, random sampling method is adopted to carry out on-site verificationof the ecological toxicology test data involved in the environmental managementregistration of new chemical substances. Test data issued by the following testingfacilities shall be subject to spot check:1. The number of reports issued with test data is large and does not match thenumber of personnel in key positions and the laboratory area of the testinstitution.2. Many suspected during desk reviewing.3. Many suspected during previous spot checkings21
Environmental management of new chemical substancesVerification contents ：Focus on the original record of test data. It can also checkwhether the testing facilities comply with good laboratorypractice.Processing of verification results ： In case of serious problems, the test reports involved shallnot be accepted The verification status and results will be made public onthe SCC website22
Work plan for 2018 To issue guideline framework for chemical environmentaland health risk assessment To develop a chemical environment management strategy To promote the implementation of the risk controlmeasures for priority control chemicals To promote the revision of laws, regulations and importantregulations in the field of chemical environmentalmanagement23
