EMB MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 010-17

SUBJECT

Guidelines in the Implementation of Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Classification and Labelling Requirements for High Volume Chemicals (HVCs)

I. RATIONALE

Pursuant to Republic Act 6969 otherwise known as "Toxic Substances and Hazardous and Nuclear Wastes Act of 1990, Joint Administrative Order (JAO) 2009-01 on "Adoption and Implementation of Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals," DENR Administrative Order 2015-09 "Implementing Rules and Procedures for the Implementation of the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labelling of Chemical Substances" and EMB Memorandum Circular 2015-011 on GHS Guidance Manual in the Preparation of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and Labelling Requirements of Toxic Chemical Substances, the following policies guidelines are developed for industry sectors' compliance with the importation, manufacture handling, storage, transport of High Volume Chemicals (HVCs).

II. OBJECTIVES

This Memorandum Circular aims to:

2.1 Provide the necessary guidelines for the proper implementation of DAO 2015-09 with regards to HVCs.

2.2 Provide guidelines to chemical industry sectors to comply with the requirements under DAO 2015-09 and EMB Memorandum Circular 2015-011 on the preparation of (SDS) and labelling of toxic HVCs.

2.3 Provide the EMB Central Office and Regional Offices with the required mechanism for the monitoring of compliance of the chemical industry sectors for (HVCs).

III. DEFINITION OF TERMS

3.1 Acute toxicity — the adverse effects occurring following oral or dermal administration of a single substance, or multiple doses given within 24 hours, or an inhalation exposure of 4 hours. It is expressed numerically as Lethal Dose (LD50) for oral and dermal and Lethal Concentration (LC50) for inhalation values.

3.2 Aquatic toxicity — the potential for a biological, chemical or physical stressors to affect the ecosystems.

3.3 Chronic toxicity — the development of adverse effects as the result of long term exposure to a toxicant or other stressor. It is a condition caused by repeated or long-term exposure to low doses of a toxic substance.

3.4 Developmental Toxicity — the extent to which a toxin produces adverse effects on a developing embryo or fetus. This is synonymous to teratogens which is the production of deformity in the developing embryo.

3.6 Elements — substances that cannot be chemically interconverted or broken down into simpler substances and are primary constituents of matter. Each element is distinguished by its atomic number, i.e., the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms.

3.7 Environmental fate — the destiny of a chemical pollutant after release to the environment.

3.8 High Volume Chemicals (HVCs) — chemicals and chemical substances already in commerce and are manufactured or imported or used in the Philippines in quantity equal to or more than 500 Metric Tons (MT) per year. These chemicals are considered to have higher potential for human and environmental exposure because of their high volumes.

3.9 Inorganic compounds — compounds that do not contain carbon and its derivatives as principal elements. Carbides, carbonates, cyanides, cyanates, and carbon disulfide contain carbon but are included in this class of compounds.

3.10 Mutagenicity — the induction of permanent transmissible changes in the structure of the genetic material of cells or organisms and these changes may involve a single or a block of genes.

3.11 Organic compounds — members of a large class of gaseous, liquid, or solid chemical compounds whose molecules primary contain carbon and hydrogen bond.

3.12 Reproductive toxicity — the adverse effects of chemicals on sexual function and fertility in adult males and females, as well as developmental toxicity in the offspring.

3.13 Screening Information Data Set (SIDS) — a list of the tests and other information about a chemical that Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) considers to be the necessary minimum for purposes of preliminary screening HVCs to identify their potential hazards to human health and the environment, so that risk assessments can then be done for the chemicals with sufficient hazard potential.

IV. SCOPE AND COVERAGE

4.1 The chemical substances (elements and compounds) listed in Annex 1 covered by the requirements of this Memorandum Circular are those used for production of industrial products and other purposes except for pharmaceutical, agricultural and consumer products.

4.2 The aforesaid chemical substances are either reagent grades, technical or commercial grades. When diluted in water, the chemical substances are still considered as pure substances.

V. EVALUATION OF HIGH VOLUME CHEMICALS (HVCs)

5.1. All toxic HVCs manufactured, imported, distributed, used, stored and transported in the amount of 500 MT and above per annum shall be subject to evaluation based on the following criteria:

5.1.1 Acute toxicity

5.1.2 Chronic toxicity

5.1.3 Development toxicity

5.1.4 Reproductive toxicity

5.1.5 Mutagenicity

5.1.6 Aquatic toxicity

5.1.7 Environmental fate such as bio-accumulative, persistent and non-degradable.

5.2 After evaluation of the aforesaid criteria, the hazards shall be identified and classified.

5.3 All chemicals classified under the GHS hazard criteria shall be included in the HVC List (ANNEX 1).

VI. IMPLEMENTING GUIDELINES FOR HVCs

6.1 All chemicals identified and included in the HVC List shall be properly labelled and shall have SDS complying with the requirements of GHS as stipulated in DAO 2015-09 through the entire life cycle of the chemical substances.

6.1.1 Importers shall require suppliers to submit SDS implementing GHS and to properly label the packages of imported chemicals.

6.1.2 Manufacturers shall be required to classify the hazards and prepare SDS of the HVCs they produce and provide transporters, handlers and users with updated SDS and label chemical substances based on GHS requirements.

6.2 HVCs waste shall be considered hazardous thus shall comply with the regulations of DAO 2013-22. CAIHTE

6.3 Manufacturers, importers, users and distributors shall undertake continuing training on GHS for the proper implementation of the Memorandum Circular.

VII. EXEMPTIONS

Chemical substances used solely in the production of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, foods and pesticides are excluded from this circular.

However, exemption shall not apply for those with dual uses; in such cases, SDS shall indicate the actual use of such chemical substances.

VIII. COMPLIANCE MONITORING

Compliance with this Memorandum Circular shall be monitored by the EMB Regional Offices in accordance with EMB MC 2015-011 "Globally Harmonized System (GHS) Policies for Industrial Chemicals and the Guidance Manual."

IX. PENALTY PROVISION

Existing and operating industries and related sectors violating this Memorandum Circular shall be imposed sanctions and fines in accordance with the Graduated Administrative Fines under Section 15 of RA No. 6969 and Section 41 and 43 of DAO 29-1992.
