Lifecycle Management of Chemical Substance
Overview
Chemicals are at the core of our materials, products, and manufacturing systems, and they would probably go through stages of import and export, production and processing, storage, transportation, use, and disposal during their lifetime. Each stage of chemical lifecycle is very fragile, as any violation would cause a serious impact on our business.
With the tenet of “Value in Compliance” in mind and boasting rich experience and expertise accumulated in years of regulatory research and compliance practices, REACH24H Consulting Group can help enterprises to improve the lifecycle management of chemicals and other hazardous materials as well as their normal operations, and protect the environment, the health of workers and the overall community.
Import & Export
Enterprises importing or exporting chemicals listed in the List of Severely Restricted Toxic Chemicals in China must register with the Ministry of Ecology and Environment before importing or exporting. Other chemicals, such as precursor chemicals, are subject to similar import and export regulations.

Manufacturing
With the rapid development of chemical industry, chemical safety accidents caused by the lack of effective management are on the rise. In order to effectively prevent serious accidents involving hazardous chemicals and protect the lives and property of the people, the Chinese government has been actively improving and updating laws and regulations on chemical production safety and imposing increasingly heavy penalties against any violations of such laws and regulations. How to ensure effective safety control have become an important concern of chemical enterprises in pursuing sustainable development.

Waste
At the final stage of chemical lifecycle, most chemicals would be disposed of in the environment (soil, water or air) as wastes, which could lead to severe pollution without any pre-treatment. In order to protect the environment from chemical wastes, governments have devised strict regulations to strengthen chemical waste control.
In recent years, the Chinese government has made great efforts to improve the environment by introducing stricter environmental policies. In this way, environmental compliance has become a prerequisite for the survival and development of an enterprise.
