The "Chemical Substances and Product Information Collection and Transmission Management Project" aims to strengthen the management of chemical substances and the transmission of relevant information in products, ensuring product safety and consumers' right to know. The project goals include analyzing systems for managing the transmission of chemical substance and product information, collecting and analyzing the market supply and management of PFAS, and enhancing the knowledge and competencies of operators and enforcement personnel regarding labeling and information transmission.
The project's objectives include analyzing systems for managing chemical and product information transmission, collecting and analyzing the market supply and management methods of PFAS, and enhancing the labeling and information transmission knowledge of operators and enforcement personnel.
The project closely monitors the key updates of the United Nations GHS over the years and studies the EU REACH regulations. It also collects chemical substance labeling management systems from the EU, the United States, South Korea, and Japan. For school supplies containing hazardous substances, the project suggests designing simple and easily recognizable warning labels and precautionary notes to improve the transparency and communication of hazard information on product labels. Additionally, cross-ministry collaboration can be planned to adopt a tiered management approach to achieve risk management and information transmission goals.
Furthermore, the project analyzes the current domestic and international use and management of PFAS, conducting 368 surveys and 21 on-site inspections. This work has preliminarily established baseline data on potential priority control targets within the country, as well as the supply chain and hazard information transmission for PFAS-containing products. Currently, there are no manufacturers in our country producing PFAS on their own; the main source is imported goods and products containing PFAS. It is possible to plan for continuous tracking of the main uses of PFAS identified in this project (such as in the electronics/semiconductor industry, coatings, etc.), trace the relevant suppliers of related goods and products, and investigate the industries of downstream users to understand the operation of PFAS-containing goods and products in the country.
To enhance the capacity of operators and enforcement personnel in chemical labeling and information transmission, the project organized three training sessions for operators in northern, central, and southern regions, and one session for enforcement personnel. For operators, future training content could include SDS preparation courses and strengthen principles for determining the hazards of mixtures to enhance professional competence. For enforcement personnel, continued use of group activities or incorporating interactive exercises into traditional lectures is recommended to build awareness of key inspection points, ensuring inspections are reasonable and consistent.
