Raising China's Chemical Industry Standards to Meet International Trade Barriers
According to the statistics of the International Trade Organization, the new global trade protection measures in recent months far exceed the trade liberalization policy. A considerable number of related environmental safety standards and regulations have seriously hindered the foreign trade of China's chemical industry. Ministry of Commerce research data also shows that as of September this year, China's chemical industry suffered a total of 18 cases of trade friction. The increasingly harsh background of foreign environmental and safety laws and regulations has attracted attention from experts attending the national oil and chemical quality standardization work conference held in late October. From this point of view, it is imminent to upgrade China's chemical industry standards and establish a system of environmental protection and safety standards that are in line with international standards. This is also a powerful means for China to increase its international discourse rights.
Li Yongwu, president of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association, said that the gap between domestic and international quality and standards is one of the reasons for the frequent occurrence of trade friction. It is understood that in the increasingly stringent chemical product standards in China, environmental protection and safety factors have become increasingly prominent. This shows that the focus of China's chemical industry standards has been devoted to improving the level of environmental protection and safety, and has made breakthroughs.
However, it should be noted that compared with the international advanced level, there is still a gap between the standardization of safety and environmental protection in the domestic chemical industry. Hui Boyang, deputy director of the quality management department of the AQSIQ, said that at present, China has the status of not strong ability to respond to foreign trade barriers, insensitive response, and weak response measures, and it needs to strengthen communication and communication with international counterparts. Insight into foreign situations. For example, the highly-requested environmental protection and safety requirements of the EU REACH regulations that have recently been hotly debated in the industry have made the export of certain chemical products in China more and more tortuous. It is understood that at present, there are over 40,000 chemicals in more than 2,000 enterprises in China that have been pre-registered in the EU, but only a few chemicals have been formally registered. The overwhelming majority of companies still adopt a wait-and-see attitude on whether to apply for formal registration. Obviously, most companies still have countless questions about how to deal with the new environmental protection and trade barriers that are increasingly prevalent in the world.
This phenomenon also reflects in a concentrated manner that, in order to adapt to internationally rising laws and standards, domestic chemical product export enterprises urgently need guidance and support from management departments, and support for environmental protection and safety standards is the most critical content. On the other hand, it also reflects that domestic standards lack the right to speak in the international arena and that products under low-level constraints are bound to be shut out of the regulatory barrier.
The docking of chemical industry between China and developed countries is one of the prerequisites. Based on this, Hui Boyang believes that timely tracking and mastering of advanced foreign standards and accelerating the improvement of national standards is one of the focuses of this year's national quality work. There are many types of products in the chemical industry, and some products are highly dependent on exports. Therefore, the formulation of each product standard requires reference at the international level.
Industry associations and companies have also made important breakthroughs in the study of standards for dealing with international trade barriers. According to Zhou Zhuye, vice president of the China Petrochemical Association, the National Hazardous Chemicals Management Standard Committee has carried out the research and formulation of relevant REACH standards. It has now completed the REACH related standards comparison research project and proposed an emergency project plan to the National Standards Committee. More than 150, accumulatively formulated 137 national standards, of which 15 completed by the National Laboratory for Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards for chemical toxicity testing laboratories have been converted into guidelines for laboratory accreditation in China. These standards have already constituted China's national standard system for responding to EU REACH regulations. At the same time, the National Dangerous Chemicals Management Standards Committee has also long-term tracking the Global Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), turning it into a national standard to improve the safety management of hazardous chemicals in China.
In addition, according to Ji Zhengkun, director of the National Standardization Administration Committee, to further enhance China's right to speak in international standardization, the National Standards Committee will use three years to build an international standardization work advancement system in stages.
