Existing Substance Inventory in Taiwan

Taiwan's existing substance inventory is compiled by the Ministry of Labor(MoL) and it contains more than 79,000 substances that were manufactured in or imported into Taiwan between 1 Jan 1993 and 31 Dec 2011. The inventory has been updated several times by two supplementary existing substance nominations.

The latest version of existing substance inventory is launched on 24 Nov 2014 and is available for search via the following link:

Companies can search the inventory by Chinese name, English name or CAS No.  

 What if my substance is not on Taiwan's existing substance inventory? 
A substance that cannot be found on above existing substance inventory will be regarded as a new substance in Taiwan. You need to comply with both Toxic Chemical Substance Control Act(TCSCA) and Occupational Safety and Health Act(OSHA) and register your new substance prior to manufacture or importation. It shall be noted that existing substances may also require registration under TCSCA.
