The main tasks of the project included supporting technical review and guidance for chemical substance data registration, promoting the registration system, enhancing management mechanisms, maintaining and expanding the Chemical Substances Registration System, and sustaining the one-stop window for cross-ministerial chemical substance registration operations. The main accomplishments of this project are as follows:
1. Assist in technical review and guidance of chemical substance data registration:
Over the project period, this project team processed 8,374 applications for chemical substances, covering technical reviews, preliminary evaluations, and record verifications. To ensure timely annual declarations, we used email notifications supplemented by phone reminders, instructional videos, and simplified guides, achieving 100% submission completion rate. To facilitate standard registrations for existing chemical substances by year-end, we organized 2 policy explanatory sessions, 8 data preparation workshops covering 16 substances, and 10 joint registration sessions for 15 substances, assisting a total of 350 entities. These efforts led to 1,989 submissions, including 402 joint registration applications. Additionally, 2,680 registration numbers were either canceled or had their registration levels adjusted due to changes in business models, as entities no longer imported or manufactured the substances.
2. Promotion of the chemical substance registration system and enhancement of management mechanisms:
We regularly gathered and shared international updates, covering the recent developments in PFAS management, registration systems, and chemical substance management across four advanced countries and regions. Reports were provided to regulatory agencies as required. To expand the application of registration data and strengthen chemical substance management, we designed diverse information dissemination methods tailored to specific audiences and purposes. This included the establishment of a new substance summary page (Infocard) for quick public access to hazard and safety information. Additionally, we developed recommendations for cross-agency data filtering, push notifications, and data transfer processes to aid regulatory agencies in managing chemical substances within their respective jurisdictions.
3. Maintenance and expansion of the Chemical Substances Registration System:
To boost administrative efficiency, we continuously expanded and optimized system functions. Key enhancements included launching a bulletin board for lead registrants, displaying consented contact information on the platform’s homepage, and adding a nano-material information feature for existing chemical substance registrations. We also redesigned detail fields in the latest version of the offline registration tool, Chemist New X3.0. Further improvements included enhanced data filtering, a statistical table of standard registered existing chemical substances, an online deregistration application feature, and a confidentiality extension for newly registered substances added to the inventory, improving system accessibility and efficiency.
4. Sustaining the one-stop window for cross-ministerial registration operations:
Collaboration with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) on new chemical substance registration review proceeded smoothly. A total of 14 new chemical substance standard registration cases were reviewed and completed, including 11 cases of level I and 3 cases of level II.
