INTERNATIONAL INSIGHT
A View of the Horizon:
Thai REACH and Continued
Vigilance in Asia
James Eggenschwiler
G
lobal registration, evaluation, authorization and
restriction of chemicals (REACH) marches on. This past
August, Thailand announced its new national inventory
of existing chemical substances and urged industry to nominate
substances to be included. Meanwhile, additional industry
responsibilities ripen in Korea and Taiwan. With new major
developments around each corner, it seems appropriate to cast
the spotlight not only on Thailand, as the market du jour, but
also on some of the lesser pesky but market-threatening details
that are less publicized.
Thai REACH
Keeping with predictions first made last October, Thailand
is rapidly nearing implementation of its national REACH-like
chemical control law. The Department of Industrial Works (DIW)
just announced this past August their newly developed national
inventory.
At this writing, the website is still inaccessible because of
technical problems. The site currently consists of the substances
on Thailand's Hazardous Substances List (including Annex 5.6)
and DIW's own consultation database. But the inventory is
intended to be much more comprehensive and will include
non-hazardous substances as well.
Key to this development is the less-publicized invitation to
industry concerning nomination of additional substances. With
an intended closure date by the end of this year, nominations
should be pursued quickly. Technically, there are three methods
to accomplish this. None of them is particularly difficult, but at
the same time none is sufficiently intuitive and streamlined to be
called "practical." Two are electronic through a portal maintained
by DIW. The third is through direct consultation with DIW.
The good news is that nomination does not require disclosure
of all constituents or monomers comprising the nominated
substances. The focus is on the data needed to support the
substance as non-hazardous or the hazard(s) associated with the
substance under GHS. Although unstated, current expectation
is that polymers are included as candidates for nomination, and
the follow-on new chemical registration process will include
registration (and an exemption process for low-concern
varieties) of polymers.
Details concerning the new chemical registration process have
not yet been announced. Expectations should be consistent
with experience in other Asian markets, with a likelihood of
rapid implementation following completion. Emphasis is urged
concerning the likely rapid implementation.
