Scope of Reporting

This requirement applies to:

• New hazardous chemicals under priority environmental management with a Regular Registration Certificate issued under MEP Order No. 7.

Reporting Requirements

Enterprises must report:

• Annual production or import quantities

• Environmental emissions

• Information shared with downstream users

• Implementation of environmental risk control and management measures

Compliance & Consequences

With the April 30, 2025, deadline approaching, enterprises must ensure timely submission, following the Guidance on Environmental Management Registration of New Chemical Substances.

Additionally, the registration certificate holder’s name, agent’s name, and certificate number in the annual report must match the details on the registration certificate. Non-compliance under MEE Order No. 12 may result in fines.
