In today's interview, we will talk about hazardous chemicals registration and emergency response in China. We have seen it all around the globe, from the Gulf of Mexico to Cifizo in Italy to Bopal in India. Major accidents happen and if they happen, you need to be prepared. In our studio, Helen Huangfu, who is leading Lubrizol's product safety in compliance team in Asia Pacific, and Jinhe Chen from the National Registration Centre for Chemicals in China and RCC. Jinhe, everyone has NRC's number since it is on old Chinese SDSs. Can you explain what happens when the phone rings in case of an emergency? An RCC's number, which should be called the National Extend to Emergency Hotline, it will be found in 1998. There is always at least three staff need to be responded for the hotline, while it is in charge and they two other is ready. The hotline has two kind of scope, it is free to the public and need to be charged for the company manufacturer of chemicals. When the telephone bill is needed to be picked up in three bills, they need to check the information from the caller, what happened, which the patents cost these happens, and which companies product and that anyone heard or something like that. They need to give the chemical hazard information and handling of the wife in ten minutes. If a major accident happened, they need it also to prefer the information to source and including the hazard information, handling of the wife and the experts list the similar accident before. Also, they need to write a written document to the contractor, which produces the chemicals. To report them, they are with the accident happens, which cost by their product. That's will be done in thirty minutes. Helen, in order for NRCC to provide the right information in case of an emergency, you need to provide the right information to NRCC. What kind of information do you provide? Normally we will provide the product safety data sheet, which contains product information and also including the emergency response and treatment information. It is very important to ensure that the SDS are up to date with good content information. How do you make sure that NRCC has the latest version of your SDS? When we first sign the service contract with NRCC, we will give them a hard copy of most up to date SDS. At the same time, we will provide NRCC access to our online SDS database so that they will be able to have access to the most up to date SDS, even if it is updated in our system. When the SDS is updated, the SDS will send a notification to NRCC, informing that what product its SDS has been updated so that NRCC will be able to download it from our online system and then add this most up to date version into their own database for treatment in the future. Talking about processes, can you tell how a global company like Lubrizol internally organizes the right overview of hazardous chemical registration, emergency response information and things like that? In Lubrizol, first day when those kinds of legislation requirements is coming, we will offer the conduct some analysis on its potential impacts and also link those requirements with our products. Then we will share those analysis and also those potential impacts to our internal stakeholders, including those persons in supply chain, in business team and also in EHS. Then we will work together to review our current process to see if those requirements will be able to be covered by our current emergency response and treatment process or if we need to develop a new process to cover those new requirements. Talking about new requirements, Jian, what is the current status of the hazardous chemical registration in China? In China, we have two kind of chemical registration. One is for MEP. They do the new chemical registration. They care about if your product leads to existing chemical inventory or not. Another kind of chemical registration is like Earth and ACC source. We care about if your product is hazardous or not. The criteria of the JHA building block about the hazardous chemical, you need to do the hazardous chemical registration. In the future, we are planning to do the registration, including the storage company and the user, which is made to a major installation. They need to also do their registration job. Helen, what are the major issues now for companies dealing with the regulations? I would like to highlight about no low volume exemption. There is no such kind of approach for hazardous chemical registration in China at this moment. We all know that electric chemicals, if with a very low volume, actually normally will have relatively low risk. We would like to propose for chemicals with low volume imported or manufactured in China. The government will consider to allow low volume exemption if the chemical can meet with certain hazardous properties criteria. So in this approach, I think that it can save a lot of time and efforts for both industrial companies, but also for authorities in terms of those appropriations and those review and approval. Helen, how do you as a company cope with these different requirements from different authorities? As a company, first of all, we still will conduct some requirements analysis on those parts. And then, if we will try to incorporate those into our internal compliance process, if possible, and sometimes we still will see some conflicts or inconsistence there, then in that case, we would like to normally conduct proactive communications with relevant authorities to share with them the challenges we are facing or the conflicts we are observing and trying to share our concerns and also some of our proposals as a property. I think that today, based on our experience, China's authorities are more open and before to the inputs or comments from the industrial companies, which as being a member of the industry, we really appreciate a lot. What is a great lesson that you have learned in relation to emergency prevention and response that you can share with us? In my opinion, I think the most important thing is at first, you need to identify the hazardous chemicals. You know what hazardous heat has. Then you pass the information with the supply chain, tell the downstream users of the plant. Then you need to, if you know what hazardous they have, then you know how to handle it. You can do the practice, emergency rehearsal, do more practice than I think. Your lesson is involve all the stakeholders in your supply chain. And yours, Helen, what is your question? As a global company, I think that we needed to realize that the different regional requirements vary from country to country. Actually, there might not be possible to use only one process to cover all the emergency response or treatment requirements globally. And also, we think that it is important to, especially in China, to fund a competent service provider for emergency prevention and the response so that the service agent would be able to provide expert guidance and support on a very effective approach. So your lesson is be prepared and have boots on the ground in case of emergency. Yeah. Okay, thank you very much. Do not act as atlas trying to carry the world on your shoulders and doing everything by yourself, but get an all relevant information. The team, learn from your peers and share useful experiences with peers. And even if everything is organized well, remember it can still happen. And when it happens, you have to be prepared.
