Chinese Enterprises Need To Make Early Plans To Upgrade The Chemicals Management Regulations.

Around the theme of "pformation and upgrading of leather industry promoted by the development of leather chemicals", Wang Zijian, the founder of the "2014 Tenth National Leather Chemicals Symposium", invited the CAS ecological environment research center to share the research on chemical risk management, technological innovation and development strategy.

< p > according to Wang Zijian analysis, there are many technical barriers to China's export products, also known as green barriers, in major export markets such as Europe and the United States, which are both legal and difficult to deal with, and will become more stringent in the future.

At present, the global chemical industry is facing not only the increasingly stringent pressure of international laws, but also other challenges such as frequent pollution incidents, large quantities of industrial chemicals entering the environment, chemical products threatening human health, tens of thousands of chemicals management objects being difficult to manage, and serious lack of chemical and environmental health information data, which are plaguing all walks of life related to the use of chemicals.

According to Wang Zijian, the main features and technical means of chemical risk management are embodied in: establishing assessment methods, obtaining environmental and health information, identifying chemical hazards and risks, identifying the hazards of products, regulating the production, processing, selling and using processes of chemicals, and prohibiting and limiting the production, processing, marketing or certain commercial uses of chemicals through strict registration management system.

< p > European REACH regulations are also highly concerned with the leather industry. At present, there are 155 kinds of candidates for REACH chemical substances list.

It is worth noting that the material in the list is likely to enter the restricted list at any time. "Entering the country is not the case for European companies," Wang Zijian said.

Wang Zijian believes that the list of key management chemicals in China lacks the support of comprehensive information and lifecycle based systematic evaluation methods compared with the high concern chemicals in Europe and the United States and the limited list of chemicals in the United States.

But for the chemical content of imported products, China still needs to set up its own testing system to protect the health and safety of its citizens.

< p > according to the evaluation of the ecological environment research center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the risk of chemicals in leather industry is at a moderate level, because a large number of chemicals used in tanning industry may enter the environment.

According to EU analysis, the generation and pfer pathways of pollutants in tanning industry are mainly generated by three aspects: wastewater discharge, by-product / solid waste and exhaust emissions.

The global leather industry chemicals management mainly relies on the efforts of industry associations and manufacturers, such as the establishment of leather working group (LWG) to strictly enact environmental protection agreements, and large international manufacturers, such as Adidas, to formulate their own prohibition or restriction list.

< p > > a href= > http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_p.asp > Prince building < /a > analysis, the typical chemicals in the list of restricted substances in the leather industry include the decomposition and release of azo dyes and fumaric acid two methyl esters containing carcinogenic aromatic amines. The REACH limits are 30ppm and 0.1mg/kg for the above chemicals, and the highest limit for six valent chromium is in the EU. The highest value is 3ppm. For the short chain chlorinated paraffins and nonylphenol, the limits of the EU are 1% and 0.1% respectively, and the chemicals listed in the list of restricted substances include perfluorinated compounds, o-benzoic acid two, volatile organic compounds VOCs and other biological fungicides.

Faced with more and more stringent technical barriers, Chinese enterprises need to make early plans to deal with the escalation of chemicals management regulations.
