2020-04-20 | Beijing, Shanghai

On 20th April, the Environment and Petrochemicals, Chemicals and Refining working groups sent comments to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on Catalogue of Monitored Chemicals (Draft for Comments).

The draft is related to obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention. Among other comments, the working groups suggested clarification of control standards for the concentration of monitored chemicals below a certain threshold, refering to the International Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons May 2000 decision that when mixtures contain a concentration of CWC Group III and Group II B monitored chemicals less than or equal to 30%, the State Party does not need to make an annual declaration to IOPWC.
