Japan has added two substances to its list of priority assessment chemicals (Pacs), 

according to the countrys 22 March Gazette. This brings the total number of 

substances on the list to 140.

 

Under the countrys Chemical Substances Control Law, manufacturers and importers

 of Pacs must notify the government each year, of those Pacs which they produced 

or imported the previous calendar year. Manufacturers and importers of Pacs must

 tell their customers if their substances are Pacs, or if their products contain Pacs.

 

The two added substances are:

 ·Sodium alkylbenzene sulphonate (alkyl: carbon number of straight-chain 

alkane limit to 10-14)

 ·4 - bromo-2-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrrole-3-carbonitrile.

 

The 22 March Gazette also announced the updated list of no-notification chemical

 substances. Manufacturers or importers of these substances do not need to

 report amounts manufactured or imported in 2013 to the government in 2014. 

The total number on the list is 1,843, 182more than last year.

 

In addition, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has released, on 25 March, 

the data of substances manufactured and imported in 2012, which include general

 substances, Pacs, and monitoring substances.
