Description

Singapore’s National Environment Agency (NEA) is proposing to regulate 2 groups of chemicals and 9 mercury-added products as Hazardous Substances under the Environmental Protection and Management Act (EPMA) and/or EPM (Hazardous Substances) Regulations (EPM (HS) Regulations). The 2 groups of chemicals have been assessed by the Persistent Organic Pollutant Review Committee (POPRC) of the Stockholm Convention to be persistent organic pollutants that are likely, as a result of their long-range environment transport, to lead to significant adverse human health and/or environmental effects such that global action is warranted. Accordingly, the POPRC has recommended for the 2 groups of chemicals to be listed under Annex A of the Stockholm Convention for elimination. The 9 mercury-added products were adopted into Annex A of the Minamata Convention for phasing out by 1 Jan 2026. The proposed regulation of the 2 groups of chemicals and 9 mercury-added products under the EPMA and/or EPM (HS) Regulations is planned to take effect in Jun 2025. Once the regulations take effect, importers, manufacturers and distributors of the 2 groups of chemicals and of products containing these chemicals will be required to apply for a Hazardous Substances (HS) licence/permit for the import, export, sale, manufacture, transport, storage and/or use of these chemicals. Accordingly, importers, manufacturers and distributors of the 2 groups of chemicals and products containing these chemicals would have to comply with the requirements on the import, manufacture, sale, transport, storage and/or use of hazardous substances, that are stipulated in the EPMA and EPM (HS) Regs. The import, export and manufacture of the 9 mercury-added products will not be allowed once the regulations take effect.
