1. A Party submitting a proposal to list a chemical in Annexes A, B and/or C shall identify the chemical in the manner described in subparagraph (a) and provide the information on the chemical, and its transformation products where relevant, relating to the screening criteria set out in subparagraphs (b) to (e): (a) Chemical identity: (i) Names, including trade name or names, commercial name or names and synonyms, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry number, International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) name; and (ii) Structure, including specification of isomers, where applicable, and the structure of the chemical class; (b) Persistence: (i) Evidence that the half-life of the chemical in water is greater than two months, or that its half-life in soil is greater than six months, or that its half-life in sediment is greater than six months; or (ii) Evidence that the chemical is otherwise sufficiently persistent to justify its consideration within the scope of this Convention; (c) Bio-accumulation: (i) Evidence that the bio-concentration factor or bio-accumulation factor in aquatic species for the chemical is greater than 5,000 or, in the absence of such data, that the log Kow is greater than 5; (ii) Evidence that a chemical presents other reasons for concern, such as high bio-accumulation in other species, high toxicity or ecotoxicity; or (iii) Monitoring data in biota indicating that the bio-accumulation potential of the chemical is sufficient to justify its consideration within the scope of this Convention; (d) Potential for long-range environmental transport: (i) Measured levels of the chemical in locations distant from the sources of its release that are of potential concern; (ii) Monitoring data showing that long-range environmental transport of the chemical, with the potential for transfer to a receiving environment, may have occurred via air, water or migratory species; or (iii) Environmental fate properties and/or model results that demonstrate that the chemical has a potential for long-range environmental transport through air, water or migratory species, with the potential for transfer to a receiving environment in locations distant from the sources of its release. For a chemical that migrates significantly through the air, its half-life in air should be greater than two days; and (e) Adverse effects: (i) Evidence of adverse effects to human health or to the environment that justifies consideration of the chemical within the scope of this Convention; or (ii) Toxicity or ecotoxicity data that indicate the potential for damage to human health or to the environment.
