Executive Summary Regulations and legislations for Chemicals Management in India
not evolved to the level comparable to the levels of European regulations such REACH Overall apathy in the industry towards regulations in Chemicals sector
REACH though companies exporting to Europe satisfy the requirements, no domestic regulations so far same as, orequivalent to REACH
RoHS enacted since June, 2011 CLP planning regulations in line with GHS (draft regulation July, 2011)
The highly fragmented Indian chemicals industry is undergoing restructuring and consolidation phase Export of Chemical through investments in Special Chemical Zones, PCPIR etc
Planned investment of about USD 33 billion
08.05.2012
Large Foreign and IndianChemical Companies
Medium DomesticCompanies
Very Small and SmallDomestic Companies
Highly fragmented industry
Highly fragmented nature of legislations could lead to legal complicationsfor Finnish companies
Indigenous and informal chemical industry is very strong in India, whichdrives the market and also to an extent influences the legislation in theirfavour
Efforts by central government to implement and enforce regulationsare expected to find resistance from industry bodies, making theprocess slow
It is advised to closely monitor the regulatory developments in India oncontinuous basis, to gain more understanding of how the various regulations(such as REACH, RoHS etc) are enacted and implemented

Overview of India REACH
Indian Chemical Sector A Background
08.05.2012
It has quite recently adopted WEEE/RoHS regulation (June, 2011) and is in the early stages of development of thevarious associated mechanisms
Compliance to REACH, RoHS and CLP in India is currently exclusively for the EXPORTS market, especially toEurope
Companies catering to the domestic market are bound by numerous local legislations that are not as stringent as
REACH Hence this report attempts to understand the Indian Chemical industry holistically, and tries to find how the
REACH, RoHS and CLP legislations would relate to the domestic as well as export market in the future
India's response to Chemical regulations so far
Reluctant participant to most international treaties
In international forums India argues that one size fits all policy is not fair , and developing countries deserve to betreated differently
Sections operate outside global standards in local market No centralized body to monitor REACH preparedness
Many ministries such as Ministries of Chemicals & Fertilizers, Ministry of Commerce and Ministry ofEnvironment & Forests issues guidelines related to environment, safety and so on

India REACH Snapshot
India has not adopted REACH legislation yet, for its domestic market. However, all exporters of chemicals to EU region are required to comply with
REACH and hence, the government supports chemical industry in the compliance requirements of the companies Ministry of Commerce supports the REACH-compliance needs of Indian Chemical companies through CHEMEXCIL REACH-Help desk. Chemexcil is
Basic Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics Export Promotion Council
Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) along with SSS Europe also provides REACH Support through their Help desk, for Indian companies
08.05.2012
No REACH legislation, or REACH-like legislation in India domestically.
REACH compliance is only for exporters to EU region
REACH directly applies to the European manufacturer and importer of chemicals and chemical containing products and requires them to demonstrate thesafety of their products put into the European markets by submitting detailed information on the intrinsic and toxicological properties of the products to thecentral chemical agency (ECHA)
Therefore, it is but natural that the EU importer shall ask his Indian supplier to furnish the required information and this is how the Indian exporters getimplicated within REACH
If the Indian exporters wish to continue uninterrupted trade with the EU, they shall have to collect all the information, as required within REACH forsubmitting to the ECHA
It is important to note that submission of information to ECHA cannot be done by the Indian exporters
It can either be done by the European importer provided he is willing to act as the registrant or if he refuses to take this responsibility and in certaincases, if the Indian exporter does not wish to share proprietary information relating to his products, he shall have to appoint an only representative
The only representative is the only legal entity authorized to pre-register on behalf of the Indian exporter
Indian REACH just like other non-EU countries

REACH Europe India
Status
Been in force since June 2007 Not enacted so far for the domestic market.Companies exporting to Europe satisfyREACH requirements through the helpdesks established by trade associations
Impact on the Industry
Substances and articles require registrationif brought into the EU in sufficient volume.Some requirements in REACH apply alsoto articles
Articles containing Substances of VeryHigh Concern (SVHCs) more than 0.1weight-% need to be communicated to thesupply chain (REACH art.33(1)). If anarticle contains more than 0,1 weight-% ofthe SVHC and if the total amount of theSVHC in articles is more than 1 tonne anotification to ECHA is required (Reachart.7(2))
Safe use data and other safety data to beprovided pro-actively
73 SVHCs identified by April, 2012 As of April, 2012, 14 substances are
subject to authorisation. The aim of theauthorisation is that the substance wouldnot be used in Europe anymore
Large volume of data collection
Indian chemical companies, mostly smalland medium companies, complain of highcosts involved in the registration, testingand other such costs for compliance
Companies are sceptical about the capitalcosts of the compliance as well
Since most of the companies serve thedomestic market, many are not keen on thecompliance
Many large Indian companies and foreigncompanies in India have been willing toundergo the compliance process

India REACH: Similarities and Differencewith EU REACH
08.05.2012
Background from EU-REACH Perspective
Out of the 73 SVHC substances, at the moment 14 are subject to Authorisation. The SVHC list is expected to include moresubstances in the future as Member states suggest more substances for inclusion
EU buyers are have started to demand their suppliers to provide proof that the articles do not contain SVHC's. If an articlecontains an SVHC then the supplier should provide evidence/certify that all requirements in REACH are fulfilled.
SSS, who supports the Help desk in India, based upon its assessment process can provide a certificate of SVHC free articleand in case article contains SVHC then it can facilitate the compliance process as required with REACH and then issue a
certificate of REACH compliance article, that can be then issued to various buyers SSS certified products and chemicals are presently being acknowledged and accepted by over 2000 EU buyers
Approach for Indian Companies for REACH Compliance
SVHC have posed new challenges to article suppliers. Here articles suppliers mean non-EU article exporters, EU importers andmanufacturers of articles.
Under REACH, an article is defined as an object which during production is given a special shape, surface or design, whichdetermines its function to a greater degree that does its chemical composition. e.g. automobile, garments, tires, plasticsproducts, electrical products, handicraft, toys, electronics. Thus, the limitation on SVHCs set out in the REACH regulation, has abroad scope, affecting lots of industries.

India REACH: Challenges & Outlook
Challenges
The major impact on Indian exporters of chemical substances so far is the high cost of registration, by way of sharing datageneration costs with the lead registrants, running into millions of Euros
Exporters of chemical preparations to Europe also have to bear the burden of getting the ingredient substances registered(again at high cost)
Regarding the impact of REACH on Indian articles like apparel, leather articles, electrical and electronic components, autocomponents, handicrafts, etc, being exported to Europe, there is a grey list of very toxic substances. These SVHCs shall
attract enhanced control and regulation when used for manufacturing of articles like apparel, leather products, autocomponents, dyes, paints, electrical and electronic components and products, metal parts and components, plastic products,etc
08.05.2012 15India - Environment Regulation Industry Chemicals Report 2012 Finpro ry
Outlook
The implications on the export of articles shall be two-fold:
Manufacturers and exporters of articles shall have to look for alternative safer chemicals; which would amount toincorporating major changes in their product profile
The search for safer substitutes that are not readily available will involve a lot of R&D, trials and expense
These implications are further compounded by the fact that the SVHC list shall keep increasing with time. It is eventuallyexpected to contain 500 to 600 substances
In the case of India-REACH, exporters have to appoint an OR (Only Representative) in the destination country to undertakeboth the registration formalities as well as legal liability on behalf of the exporter

India REACH: CHEMEXCIL Initiative
08.05.2012
Through a MoU with SSS, the CII Standards and Conformity Assessment Task Force has decided to launch a nation-widecapacity building programme across various export sectors (leather, garments, auto components, etc) to strengthen the supplychain in meeting REACH and other similar regulations
As a first step, experts from the European Chemical Agency (the nodal organization for REACH) have been invited as keyspeakers in two back to back symposiums on REACH Regulations and their impact on Indian industry, in Delhi and Mumbai
The symposiums, being organized jointly by CII and the Union Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, will be the first face-to-face interaction of ECHA officials with Indian industry and other stakeholders
This will be followed by extended outreach programmes targeting impacted sectors over the next year. As deadlines are fastapproaching, the symposiums would provide an ideal forum to obtain clarifications and enhance understanding on coverageas well as compliance issues
16India - Environment Regulation Industry Chemicals Report 2012 Finpro ry
CHEMEXCIL, the Chemicals & Cosmetics Export Promotion Council, has set up a REACH help desk and a web portal toprovide the latest updates to exporters. In order to provide professional assistance, CHEMEXCIL has appointed SustainabilitySupport Services, (Europe) AB. Sweden, (SSS) to represent its member-exporters in European Union as Only Representative
This arrangement has helped over 700 Indian companies go through the pre-registration and registration deadlines

Overview of India RoHS
RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substance) legislation was previously enacted in the European Union, Japan, China, Korea,and California. WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) legislation was enacted in the EU, Korea, 25 US states,and five Canadian provinces
India has long been plagued by the problem of backyard recycling. India's new legislation is an attempt to address that
problem
08.05.2012
India is the latest country to enact RoHS and WEEE legislation. Hazardous substance and electronic waste legislation is hereto stay and is expanding worldwide
India is now on the list, and its new legislation laid by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India (coveringboth RoHS and WEEE requirements) is known as the E-Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 2011. India's WEEErequirements will take effect in May 2012, and its RoHS requirements two years later
(Http://moef.nic.in/downloads/rules-and-regulations/1035e_eng.pdf )
This treats WEEE and RoHS identically in terms of scope, exclusions etc, and there is a considerable similarity with the EU
WEEE and RoHS legislation, although these are treated as totally separate legislation in the EU. The requirements aresimilar to the EU's requirements
The new waste rule will significantly change the way electronic waste is handled in India. Producers, collection centers,dismantlers, and recyclers, to remain operating, will have to apply for a government-issued "Grant of Authorization" by July31, 2012. Onsite storage of electronic waste will be limited to 180 days
The new RoHS rule will limit the amount of hazardous substances present in electronic products produced and imported inIndia ( source CII Reach Help desk and CPCB GUIDELINES FOR ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND MANAGEMENT OF E-WASTE Report)

India RoHS: Challenges and Outlook
Challenges Lack of clarity on how RoHS would be adopted by companies (include producers, distributors, collection centres,
refurbishers, dismantlers, recyclers, consumers, or bulk consumers) involved in the manufacture, sale, purchase andprocessing of electrical and electronic equipment or components
The real problem India faces is a thriving backyard recycling industry (informal sector). E-waste is collected by recyclersabroad and then sold to waste traders in India
The complexity of e-waste flows within India and inadequate record-keeping (maintenance of registry) make anestimation of the quantities and composition of e-waste within India, making enforcement of legislation difficult
The draft rule does not specify how it will ensure that informal recyclers reduce their operations to dismantling andcollection activities. Furthermore, the underlying incentives that can result in the informal sector being able to outbid theformal sector remain unaddressed
A lack of awareness of the hazards of improper e-waste disposal, at the consumer-level, collector-level or recycler-levelor disposer-level
Inadequate monitoring and enforcement mechanisms
08.05.2012
Outlook Many electronic companies are willing to comply with the requirements
It is expected that Indian companies will be more open to complying with RoHS than REACH
The various regulations that are at various stages of enactment and implementation tries to achieve the broaderobjectives similar to EU and the US regulations. Considering all the challenges mentioned above, it will be a tough taskfor the government and regulatory bodies to achieve full adherence and compliance

India is expected to publish by mid-2012 rules governing the labelling of hazardous chemicals, in line with the UN GHSrequirements
The draft rules were released in July, 2011 for comments from interested groups. Ministry of Environment and Forests is nowworking on the final document (Rule called as Hazardous Substances (Classification, Packaging and Labelling) Rules, 2011;draft notification dated 8 th July, 2011. http://moef.nic.in/downloads/rules-and-regulations/SO523_E_new.pdf )
India s approach would be to implement new rules that are entirely in agreement with the UN or partially fulfil the UN mandate
India currently uses a combination of lists and laws to classify chemicals and govern their storage and handling
For example, one current law is the Manufacture, Storage and Transport of Hazardous Chemical Rules of 1989 whose rulesdo not conform to GHS. But efforts are to be made to radically revise these rules to avoid conflict and confusion with the newGHS rules that would be introduced
Status of GHS Implementation in India
Some of the salient points of India s new HS (CPL) rules are:
Responsibilities in the supply chain to be prescribed
All dangerous goods will have to have a UN number and proper shipping name according to their assigned hazard
classification and composition Suitable labelling and packaging will have to be used, along with updated safety data sheets
People engaged in the handling, storage and transport of dangerous goods will have to be trained
The consultation of the draft law has received a great deal of technical specifications, including how inflammable liquids andmixtures of gases must be dealt with and more detailed definitions of what constitutes a toxic dose and how to determinelevels of flammability

Overview of India CLP
Evolution
Similar to REACH, CLP legislation also is not yet present in India as of now (Rule in the draft stage)
Only exporters of Chemicals to EU region comply to REACH and CLP requirements
However, agencies such as Chemexcil and REACH Support Helpdesk are assisting Indian companies to comply to theserequirements
Moreover, these agencies are helping create awareness among the domestic industry participants to move towards thesecompliance requirements
Various activities for implementing the GHS system in India is underway
Instead of CLP, there are a host of legislations and acts that determine the classification, labeling and packaging especiallythose that deal with Chemicals. Some of these regulations are,
08.05.2012
Central motor Vehicle Rule-1989 and some relevant Statutory Provisions R-129 : Transportation of Hazardous Goods nature R-129A : Spark Arrestor Provision
R-130 : Manner of display of class labels R-131 : Responsibility of Consignor for safe transportation of Hazardous Goods R-132 : Responsibility of Transporter & Owner for safe transportation of Hazardous Goods R-133 : Responsibility of Driver for safe transportation of Hazardous Goods R-134 : Emergency Information Panel. R-135 : Drivers to be instructed. R-136 : Report of accidents by Driver to Police Station.

Interview Summary
Some quotes
08.05.2012
The major concerns and thrust areas of environmental pollution, at present, are hazardous waste handling, its storage anddisposal and minimisation of volatile organic compounds, besides ensuring proper operation and maintenance of pollutioncontrol devices.Various ministries are involved in implementation of respective Acts and Rules related to chemicals management. It is,therefore, necessary to have more inter-ministerial commissions and coordination mechanisms.
Suppliers in unorganized sector have little knowledge of REACH. Unlike mass manufacturers like China, testing perconsignment for fashion garments is much more difficult and costly. India specialises in fashion garments, with lot of valueadditions and embellishments. Compliance requires testing of these embellishments also.
A manufacturer supplying small lots of such products to EU will incur very high testing charges. REACH regulations will have along lasting implication on the Indian apparel industry.
There is a recommendation to, in future, merge all related regulations for having uniform standards. India is contemplatingREACH specific to India. But so far it has not been enacted. Small and medium companies in the sector are completelyunaware of REACH and such regulations. They are also sceptical of the high costs involved, as they operate on very lowmargins already
The REACH and CLP market in China is much more matured than in India, as China is hosts a large number of Europeanbusinesses. India has seen an increase over the last few years in the awareness and sensitivity towards product relatedenvironmental issues.
Some of the priority actions proposed for India are, prepare Indian chemical inventory (none exists today), improve co-ordination at central government level amongst ministries, create laboratory infrastructure, augment human resources (-- Comments from industry experts)

Conclusions & Recommendation
Identified that the chemical sector in India requires to go a long way towards REACH and CLP regulations
RoHS regulations have been enacted. However, full scale implementation and compliance is expected toface stiff challenges from the industry
Large number of small and medium companies in the sector makes data gathering difficult one of thekey reasons why implementation of such comprehensive regulations have been difficult in India
Some of the administrative hurdles of the regulations many ministries such as Ministry of Commerceand Industry, Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, Ministry of Environment & Forests, Ministry of Financeetc, deliberating on the hierarchy and decision-making authority on chemicals management in India
India has its own set of legislations and regulations which are getting evolved. Many government agenciessuch as the Pollution Control Boards (Central and state level) are enforcing many of these regulations in astrict manner now
It needs to be seen how the many regulations will evolve into a comprehensive legislation similar toREACH
It is advised to closely monitor the regulatory developments in India on continuous basis, to gain moreunderstanding of how the various regulations (such as REACH, RoHS etc) are enacted and implemented
