A New Day Arriving
Brazil REACH
By James Eggenschwiler
After years of consideration and endless rumors, the day
Brazil finally joins the Global REACH community seems
to be fast approaching. This past October, the country's
National Chemical Safety Commission (CONASQ) and the
Ministry of Environment (MME) published a fairly detailed
draft of the new national law that is anticipated to be
adopted in 2019. Having flirted with basing the law on existing models in other jurisdictions (most seriously Canada
and Europe), the published draft shows an interesting mix
of influences by those and others around the globe - forming a process and structure that is distinctly Brazilian.
IDENTIFYING AND MANAGING EXISTING CHEMICALS
The draft law begins with the formation of a national chemical inventory for Brazil. In a manner similar to several Asian
countries, Taiwan and Thailand for instance, the process
begins by requiring manufacturers and importers to "register" chemical substances that they currently manufacture
or import at volumes greater than 1 ton per year, including
polymers - at least those that are not low-concern polymers. These will be reviewed and assembled into the initial
national chemical inventory.

As part of this process, registrants are required to provide
the company information as a producer or importer, the
substance identity, annual volume produced or imported,
recommended uses, and the GHS classification concerning
the substance. This is required to take place during the first
three years of the program, once it is formally adopted. For
now, it appears that substances manufactured or imported at
less than 1 ton per year are not of interest to the government
for regulatory purposes.
Once this inventory list is compiled, CONASQ will
identify chemical substances to be evaluated by the Industrial Chemicals Assessment Technical Committee. Initially,
at least, selection of candidate substances for this review and
evaluation will be triggered by the following characteristics
associated with the substance:
* Substances that are persistent, bio-accumulative or toxic
to the environment;
* Substances that are carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to
reproduction;
* Substances that are endocrine disruptors, based on
scientific evidence;
* The appearance or anticipation of relevant potential
exposure to humans and the environment; or
* Substances controlled by international treaties or conventions of which Brazil is a member or signatory (i.e.,
Rotterdam Convention, Montreal Protocol, etc.).
Manufacturers and importers of inventory-listed chemical substances that are selected for hazard/risk evaluation
will be required to submit relevant data, including study
