5. Title, number of pages and language(s) of the notified document : Proyecto de 
Reglamento Técnico  para la Gestión Sanitaria y Ambiental de los Bifenilos Policlorados  
(Draft Technical Regulation for the health and environmental management of 
polychlorinated biphenyls) (21 pages, in Spanish)  
6. Description of content : The notified Technical Regulation  establishes the conditions 
necessary for the health and environmental management of stockpiles and residues of 
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and stockpiles and residues containing or contaminated 
with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), with the aim of protecting human health and 
promoting environmental quality.  
It contains measures to prevent the contamination of the environment with PCBs and, 
therefore, avoid risks to human health . It also contains several of the articles established 
in the Stockholm C onvention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (ratified by Peru in Supreme 
Decree No. 067-2005-RE). 
7. Objective and rationale, including the nature of urgent problems where 
applicable : Since 1983, PCBs have not been manufactured anywhere in the world, excep t 
for the purposes of laboratory analyses and research . However, there is still equipment 
containing these chemical substances, and the Stockholm Convention recommends 
adopting measures to prevent the entry of such substances which may be contained in 
equipment with dielectric oils, or in dielectric oils.  
8. Relevant documents:  
Ley General de Salud N° 26842 and the amendment thereto  Ley N° 29712 ; 
Ley General del Ambiente N° 28611 ;
