“Regulations on the Administration of Precursor Chemicals” VS “Regulations on the Safety Management of Hazardous Chemicals”
The Regulations on the Safety Management of Hazardous Chemicals (Decree No. 591 of the State Council), as the supreme law implemented by China's GHS, applies to the safety management of the production, storage, use, operation and transportation of hazardous chemicals. The scope of supervision covers the entire life cycle of hazardous chemicals production, storage, operation, use, transportation, import and export, and disposal.
Regarding the "Regulations on the Administration of Precursor Chemicals" (Decree No. 445 of the State Council), many corporate concepts are still relatively vague and easy to confuse with Decree No. 591. Because of their inadequate understanding, many misunderstandings have occurred.
In order to better understand the relationship between Decree No. 445 and Decree No. 591, the following are summarized as follows:
1) Both are administrative regulations promulgated by the State Council. They are parallel regulations and are not affiliated.
2) The scope of supervision of chemicals is different: Decree No. 591 is managed as hazardous chemicals, Decree No. 445 is managed as precursor chemicals, and Decree No. 591 has a larger scope of supervision.
3) Decree No. 591 corresponds to the 2015 edition of the "Inventory of Hazardous Chemicals", and Decree No. 445 corresponds to the "Category and Variety List of Precursor Chemicals".
4) Only some of the products in the "Category and Variety List of Precursor Chemicals" are included in the 2015 edition of the "Inventory of Hazardous Chemicals". Precursor chemicals are also a category of hazardous chemicals. You need to obtain the corresponding hazardous chemicals license in accordance with the provisions of Decree No. 591 before you can apply for the license or record certificate of precursor chemicals in accordance with the provisions of Decree No. 445.
