Notice! The state will specially control these 20 kinds of chemicals!

Special control of hazardous chemicals refers to those with high inherent risk, high safety risk, serious accident consequences and large circulation, which need special control. The special controlled hazardous chemicals listed in the catalogue include: ammonium nitrate [(except passivated) modified ammonium nitrate], nitrocellulose (including nitrocellulose belonging to flammable solid), potassium chlorate, sodium chlorate, chlorine, Ammonia, methyl isocyanate, dimethyl sulfate, sodium cyanide, potassium cyanide, liquefied petroleum gas, liquefied natural gas, ethylene oxide, Vinyl chloride, dimethyl ether, gasoline (including methanol gasoline and ethanol gasoline), 1,2-propylene oxide, carbon disulfide, methanol and ethanol. The control measures include the construction of information platform, the implementation of full life cycle information traceability control, the implementation of unified and standardized packaging management, strict safety production access, strict approval of construction projects with special control of hazardous chemicals, strict access of employees, strengthened transportation management, the implementation of storage localization management, and other requirements. According to the notice, in order to seriously implement the comprehensive management plan for the safety of hazardous chemicals, we should deeply learn the lessons from the particularly serious fire and explosion accidents in the dangerous goods warehouse of Ruihai company in Tianjin port on August 12, strengthen the whole life cycle management of hazardous chemicals, and effectively prevent and contain major accidents.

The Ministry of emergency management, together with the Ministry of industry and information technology, the Ministry of public security, the Ministry of transport and other departments, drafted the catalogue of hazardous chemicals under special control (First Edition) (Draft for comments), with the deadline for public comments on November 18, 2019. The following management and control measures shall be studied and implemented to reduce the safety risk to the greatest extent and effectively prevent and control major accidents for the hazardous chemicals listed in the catalogue of specially controlled hazardous chemicals (First Edition), under the conditions of laws, regulations and economic and technological feasibility.

Build an information platform, implement the full life cycle information traceability control, promote the construction of the national hazardous chemicals regulatory information sharing platform, build a full life cycle traceability monitoring system for special control of hazardous chemicals from production, storage, use to products entering the logistics, transportation, import and export links, improve the information sharing mechanism, and ensure the real-time and more dynamic regulatory information of relevant departments. Two dimensional code or electronic label shall be added on the product packaging, medium-sized bulk containers, large containers, movable tank cabinets and tank cars of specially controlled hazardous chemicals, and modern information technology means such as Internet of things, cloud computing and big data shall be used to realize the whole life cycle process tracking, information monitoring and traceability of specially controlled hazardous chemicals.

The implementation of unified specifications for packaging management unified specifications for special management and control of the technical requirements for the classification, protective materials, marking and identification of the packaging of hazardous chemicals, as well as the technical requirements for the design, manufacturing, test methods, inspection rules, marking and identification, packaging specifications, use specifications of medium-sized bulk containers, large containers, movable tanks and tankers, and the strict implementation of the technical requirements involving special management Packaging performance inspection and packaging use identification of dangerous goods controlling dangerous chemicals.

Strict access to work safety shall be strictly examined and approved for construction projects with special control over hazardous chemicals, and access to employees shall be strictly enforced. Construction projects that do not conform to work safety laws and regulations, national standards, industrial standards and industrial layout planning shall not be examined and approved. IV. strengthen the transportation management, establish and improve the filling and delivery inspection, approval and recording system, strengthen the management of transportation vehicle driving path and track, satellite positioning and transportation practitioners, eliminate illegal transportation behaviors from the source, and reduce safety risks. The dynamic monitoring of road transport vehicles for dangerous goods is used to strengthen the on-line monitoring and early warning of special control over the operation track of road transport vehicles for dangerous chemicals and illegal behaviors such as overspeed driving and fatigue driving. Accelerate the implementation of electronic waybill management for road and railway transport of dangerous goods, and focus on the flow direction monitoring of specially controlled dangerous chemicals. 

The relevant units (except for ports and schools) implementing the fixed storage management shall designate specific areas, warehouses or tanks in the special warehouse for hazardous chemicals to store the special controlled hazardous chemicals, improve the management level, reasonably control the inventory and turnover, strengthen the refined management, and realize the fixed management of the special controlled hazardous chemicals. Strengthen the storage management of dangerous goods in the port. The port operator of dangerous goods shall store the specially controlled dangerous chemicals in the special warehouse, storage yard and storage tank of dangerous goods, strictly implement the isolation in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations, establish the operation information system, record the type, quantity and owner information of the specially controlled dangerous chemicals in real time, and make backup outside the operation site.

Other specially controlled hazardous chemicals required to be transported by sea, AIR, railway and pipeline shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the competent department. If the laws, administrative regulations and rules provide otherwise for the control measures for special control of hazardous chemicals, such provisions shall prevail. Reagent products necessary for scientific experiments are not included in the catalog management temporarily, but relevant units can take measures to strengthen the management according to the actual situation and existing risks of personnel training and scientific research. According to the requirements of the regulations on the administration of urban gas, this catalogue and special control measures are not applicable to urban gas.
