According to Article 13, Paragraph 1 of this law, manufacturers or importers of new chemical substances not included in the chemical substance list announced by the central competent authority shall not manufacture or import such substances without submitting a chemical substance safety assessment report to the central competent authority and obtaining approval and registration. Paragraph 3 of the same article authorizes the central competent authority to establish regulations on matters to be followed, such as the announcement of the chemical substance list, registration of new chemical substances, content of safety assessment reports, review procedures, and information disclosure. Therefore, the "Regulations for the Registration and Management of New Chemical Substances" are proposed.
