There are 34 categories of class I specific chemical substances in the Chemical Substances Control Law (CSCL)，and enterprises exporting products to Japan need to pay special attention to them. CTI can provide a complete set of testing services for class I specific chemical substances in the regulations to help enterprises achieve export trade compliance.

Business Challenges

What are the class I specific chemical substances under the Chemical Substances Control Law (CSCL)?

How do products exported to Japan comply with the control requirements of the Chemical Substances Control Law？

Service Background

The Chemical Substance Control Law of Japan, abbreviated as CSCL, was promulgated in 1973 to control the risk of industrial chemicals produced or imported within Japan. CSCL classifies chemical substances into two categories for management: existing chemical substances and new chemical substances. For new chemical substances, it is necessary to notify the government and evaluate them before import and manufacturing. For existing chemical substances, it is mandatory to conduct annual reports on production or import quantities and usage, and based on the hazards and exposure levels of chemical substances to human health or the environment, Subdividing existing chemical substances into multiple different regulatory types, among which the class I specific chemical substance management requirements are the most stringent and also the category that requires the focus of enterprise attention in the category of goods.

Service Content

For the control of class I specific chemical substances, in principle, the production/import or use of such substances is prohibited. For special situations where they are used as essential raw materials, production and import must be approved by special permits and comply with relevant technical standards. Specific products containing class I specific chemical substances specified by government regulations are not allowed to be imported. CTI can provide testing services for class I specific chemical substances under The Chemical Substance Control Law.
