Japan publishes a manual to promote online applications
In Japan, companies must notify new chemical substances manufactured or imported in volumes of less than one tonne a year or apply for small-volume permits. Companies are also required to submit applications for new chemical substances manufactured or imported in volumes of less than ten tonnes per year under the Chemical Substances Control Law (CSCL). The CSCL aims to reduce the risks that chemicals pose to human health and avoid environmental degradation.
The Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry (METI) has recently published a manual to assist companies in submitting the necessary data online when applying for authorization to manufacture or import new chemicals. The manual guides through how to set up an e-Gov account, confirm browser settings, install and setup e-applications, and gives instructions for providing information online.
According to METI, all applications should be submitted online by 2025.
