Conjoined with the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) to advance the chemical registration framework and to achieve the goal of sound national chemical management, this project aimed at evaluating existing chemical registration process and collecting domestic industrial feedbacks. To meet these ends, the following tasks were delivered. Regarding the registration framework and the related policies, the prioritization process of designating existing chemical substances for standard registration was established and followed by a pilot program. To advance the prioritization scheme, comments from stakeholders were compiled. Another international information of 450 chemicals was collected. Furthermore, a consolidated analysis of stakeholders’ comments was provided accordingly. Also to smooth chemical importation, the IT platform of Chemical Commodity Importation Pre-Confirmation was built. The supporting guidance, the FAQs, and workshops were provided. To improve international cooperation, the international SAICM implementation was accessed. Advice reports were made to Taiwan’s national chemical policies. Also, visits were made to international organizations, including European Chemical Agency, Korea Ministry of Environment, and Korea Chemical Management Association, with 2 follow-up reports summarizing the progress. A 3-day international conference was held successfully, which experts from EU, the Philippine and Korea were invited to share their experiences and provided insights into future policy making. Also, a subsequent meeting with the EPA Minister and a roundtable discussion with EPA officials were arranged to facilitate an exchange of ideas among the experts and the competent authority. In accordance with the authority’s policy vision, the scheme of green safer alternatives was constructed. International approaches, evaluation standards, safer alternative of target substances were gathered. Five case studies were undertaken and delivered. Additionally, to deepen industrial knowledge and understanding of safer alternatives, and to phase out harmful substances, coordination meetings with competent authorities and the target industries were held, and an online information platform was launched. To enhance the authority’s capacity of registration knowledge, three training workshops were organized. In total, to assist the authority, the project provided technical documents and attended chemical management related meetings with supportive information.
