On 19 Feb 2015, the Ministry of Industry in Thailand published its new regulation B.E. 2558
on the notification of the production and import of hazardous substances in
Government gazette. The regulation comes into force immediately.
The regulation requires manufacturers and importers of hazardous chemicals supplied in quantities over 1 ton per year to notify their hazardous chemicals to the Department of Industrial Works (DIW) for the purpose of building a national chemical inventory in Thailand. We have taken a deep look at this new regulation and translated B.E.2558 and notification form into English to give you a quick understanding of its regulatory requirements.

How to Comply with Swiss Chemical Regulations
13 Feb 2015
Since Switzerland is not a member of the EU or the European Economic Area (EEA), EU REACH regulation does not apply here. Switzerland has its own chemical regulation Chemical Ordinance (ChemO) adopting REACH-like registration requirements (on new substances only). For those who supply chemicals (i.e, adhesives, solvents) and articles to Switzerland, it is also highly recommended that you read Swiss Chemical Risk Reduction Ordinance (ORRChem) which sets chemical restriction conditions for lots of chemicals and articles.
