The law stipulates an authorization system for the production andimport of chemical substances with low bio-degradability, high bio-accumulation and longtermtoxicity (e.g. PCBs), and regulates their use. The law also imposes certain restrictionson chemicals with low bio-accumulation and low bio-degradability according to the level oftheir concentration in the environment.Furthermore, this law was amended in May 2003 and the amendment will come intoforce on the day determined by the Cabinet Order, which shall be no later than one year afterthe promulgation of the law. Major contents of the amendment are as follows:- Introducing evaluation and regulation system of chemical substances focused on theiradverse effects on living organisms in the environment;- Introducing restrictions on persistent and highly bio-accumulative existing chemicalsubstances;- Reforming prior evaluation system for new chemical substances taking into account theirpossibilities of exposure; and- Introducing obligatory reporting system for hazard information voluntarily obtained bybusinesses.28
