The EPA showed its intention to grant the extension of the deadline for Standard Registration of 106 PECs as chemical manufacturing and import associations in Taiwan raised their concerns over the preparation for dossiers in public seminars in October this year. Now the EPA has confirmed to extend the deadline of Standard Registration to Dec. 31, 2020, regardless of the tonnage.

Currently, registrants can get the registration number of Standard Registration even if they have not submitted hazard and exposure assessment (Item 8 and 9 in dossier report). The date for later submission of these two items will be clarified later when the guidance is updated.
