In June, Taiwan’s EPA published official guidance on how to prepare a standard registration dossier for the first list of 106 Priority Existing Substances (PECs). Companies are required to submit nine information items to the authorities. Because of the impact of COVID 19, the EPA is allowing companies to submit the first seven information items while leaving the item number eight and nice (hazard assessment and exposure assessment, which are generally taking most of the time for preparation) for later submission. Companies will receive a registration completion code after submitting the first seven items.
