The Hazardous Chemicals Safety Law of the People’s Republic of China will take effect on May 1, 2026. This legislation comprehensively strengthens the primary responsibility of enterprises involved in hazardous chemicals, elevates compliance requirements across the entire supply chain, strictly controls licensing access, increases penalties for violations, and enhances interdepartmental regulatory coordination and enforcement collaboration. It will bring systemic and profound impacts and challenges to hazardous chemicals production and operation enterprises, as well as relevant parties such as universities and research institutions. To assist enterprises in anticipating policy trends and accurately grasping compliance essentials, the “Hazardous Chemicals Safety Compliance Management Forum” will convene in Shanghai on March 11, 2026. Hosted by the China Warehousing and Distribution Association, co-organized by the Association of International Chemical Manufacturers (AICM) and Hangzhou REACH Technology Group Co., Ltd., and undertaken by the Hazardous Materials Branch of the China Warehousing and Distribution Association.
