China’s Solid Waste and Chemicals Management Center (SCC) has announced that companies handling certain priority managed new chemical substances must submit their 2025 annual activity reports by 30 April 2026.
The requirement supports China’s ongoing efforts to improve chemical transparency and strengthen environmental risk management across the supply chain.
Who must report?
The notice applies to companies that hold regular registration certificates for new chemical substances under the following frameworks:
- MEP Order No. 7: where the registered substance is classified as a priority environmental management chemical under Article
- MEE Order No. 12: where the certificate includes an explicit annual reporting requirement.
The SCC notice also includes an attachment listing all companies required to submit reports.
What the annual report must include
Companies must provide detailed information on the 2025 activities of each registered substance, including:
- actual production or import volumes;
- environmental release data;
- information passed on to downstream users; and
- progress on implementing environmental risk control measures and any other required management actions.
