The Norwegian Environmental Agency
announced on February 3, 2022, that the duty to declare annual quantities for
2021 is postponed until May 20, 2022. This occurred because the agency is
improving the Product Register – the portal for chemical declaration in
Norway.
According to the Norwegian
Chemical Declaration Regulation, the duty falls on manufacturers or
importers dealing with hazardous chemicals (according to CLP regulation) of 100
kg or more, biocides, chemicals containing microbiological products, explosive
precursors, and substances which experienced changes to label or commercial
name.
The new portal is expected to be ready by March 15-31, 2022, where the industry will be able to access the portal with the new application already functioning.
