Inspection of Hazardous Chemicals for Import & Export in China

Hazardous chemicals for import & export will be inspected in the following three aspects after they apply for inspection:

1. Whether the product name and the hazard classification labeled in the package of the product are consistent with that recorded in the inspection materials;

Whether the constituents of the product are consistent with that recorded in the inspection materials;

Whether the physical and chemical properties of the product are consistent with that recorded in the inspection materials; and,

Whether the quality, quantity and weight of the products meet the requirements of safety, hygienic, health, environmental protection and fraud preventing.

2. Whether the manufacturer/supplier and products information of the enclosed Chinese safety data sheets are true, complete, valid and are consistent with that recorded in the inspection material (Chinese safety data sheets can be made by reference to GB/T 16483-2008); and,

Whether the safety information is complete, accurate and contains at least 16 items of product basic information.

3. Whether the precautionary label is affixed to, attached to, or printed onto the visible place of the packaging in accordance with the requirements of GB15258-2009;

Labels shall be true, accurate and must contain some basic elements including product identification, pictogram, signal word, hazard statement, precautionary statement, etc.

As there are no written requirements specifying when Chinese labels shall be attached, enterprises only need to ensure that labels are attached before inspection. Enterprises may either attach both Chinese and English labels before import (at the place of export) or attach temporary Chinese labels before inspection. We helped our customers complete inspection in both of the situations in different ports. As long as contents of labels are in compliance with national standards, both of the two methods are valid.
