The schedule for the declaration of new substances under Japan's 2024 Chemical Substance Control Law has been announced.

To ensure that the chemical industry promptly understands and prepares the relevant materials,the Japanese Ministry of Health,Labour and Welfare,the Ministry of Economy,Trade and Industry,and the Ministry of Environment recently jointly announced the new substance declaration schedule for the Chemical Substances Control Law in 2024.

The main content is as follows:

Notification Scope: The announced schedule primarily pertains to the submission of pre-review materials and dossiers for Low Volume Exemptions (LVE,1-10t/y) and Standard Volume Exemptions (>10t/y).Small Volume Exemptions (SVE,1t/y) are not included in this schedule.

Window Period System: Japan continues using the window period system for new substance notifications,with ten annual windows.Notably,November and May wont have pre-review submission windows.Given strict time constraints,chemical enterprises should plan ahead to avoid unnecessary economic losses from extended notification cycles.

Submission Deadline: All materials must be submitted by 16: 00 Beijing Time (15: 00 Japan Time) on the window periods final day.Late submissions will automatically defer to the next window period.

Chemical enterprises must closely monitor CSCL updates and prepare notifications in advance to ensure smooth compliance.
