中国GHS---危险化学品管理条例
中国GHS和危险化学品安全管理法规简介2011年5月19日，北京召开中国GHS实施国际研讨会，由此全面推进了我国危险化学品统一分类标签的管理体系。
我国是一个化学品生产和进出口大国，实施GHS有助于我国对化学品实行正确分类和标记，这不仅能有效保护我国国民健康和环境，而且有益于我国的化学品进出口贸易和对外交流。
GHS英文全称Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals，意为“化学品统一分类和标签全球协调制度”。
GHS于2002年12月由联合国危险货物运输和全球化学品统一分类和标签制度专家委员会通过，并随着执行经验的获得定期更新和改进。
2002年在约翰内斯堡通过的《可持续发展问题世界首脑会议执行计划》鼓励各国尽快执行GHS，以便到2008年使GHS获得全面实施。
国际GHS系统旨在对世界各国不同的危险化学品分类方法进行统一，从最大限度减少危险化学品对健康和环境造成的危害，是联合国出版的指导各国化学品危害管理的规范性文件。
目前国际GHS共设有27个危害分类种类(如表1)，包括16个物理危害分类、10个健康危害分类和1个环境危害分类。
每一分类均详细定义了分类基准、危害标示元素以及分类流程。
表1-27个GHS化学品危害分类GHS对于化学品的危险信息的表述手段有两种：标签和安全数据表（国内又称化学品安全技术说明书）。
GHS危害标签内容有6项，包括：1）危害图形符号；2）警示语；3）危害成分；4）危害警告信息；5）危害防范措施；6）制造商或供应商。
危害标签使用黑色象征符号加白色背景和红框的菱形图式。
当前各国化学品标签涉及的项目大致有35种，为进行描述，应选定主要的标签元素，这些标签元素包括产品名称、供应商名称、化学名称、表述危险的象形图、表述危险的标记字符、警示性说明和预防性措施等。
中国GHS的历程目前，我国已经初步建立了GHS国家协调机制，最先由多部委联合实施，涉及国家发改委、卫生部、环保总局等10个部门。

construction project may result in a material impact on the environment,an environmental impact report of appraising thoroughly the potential environmental impact is required.If the construction project may result in a slight impact on the environment,an environmental impact record of analyzing or appraising the specific potential environmental impact is required;and if the construction project may result in very little impact on the environment,an environmental impact appraisal is not required but an environmental impact form shall be filed.The report is prepared by construction units and shall be approved by the relevant PRC authority before construction commences.According to the Law of the PRC on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Wastes( )effective on April1,1996and revised on December29,2004,environment impacts appraisal shall be conducted for construction of projects discharging solid wastes,store,use and disposal of solid wastes

items,such as direct investment,loan,repatriation of investment and investment in securities outside the PRC,unless the prior approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange(“SAFE”)is obtained.Under the Administration Rules of Settlement,Sale and Payment of Foreign Exchange promulgated by the People’s Bank of China on June20,1996,foreign investment enterprises in the PRC generally may purchase foreign exchange without the approval or review of SAFE,if such purchases are trade and service related foreign exchange transactions and commercial documents evidencing these transactions are produced.They may also retain foreign exchange,subject to a cap approved by SAFE, under current account items.However,the relevant PRC government authorities may limit or eliminate the ability of foreign investment enterprises to purchase and retain foreign currencies in the future. Foreign investment enterprises are permitted to remit their profits or dividends in foreign currencies out of their foreign exchange accounts or exchange Renminbi for foreign currencies through banks authorized to conduct foreign exchange business.TAXATION1.Enterprise Income TaxOn March16,2007,the Enterprises Income Tax Law(“EIT Law”)was enacted.Under the EIT Law,which has taken effect since January1,2008,the PRC adopts a uniform income tax rate of25% for all enterprises in the PRC(including foreign-invested enterprises)and revoke many of the tax exemption,reduction and preferential treatments applicable to foreign-invested enterprises before January1,2008.According to the EIT Law and the Regulation on the Implementation of the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China(the“Implementation Rules”)effective since January1,2008,there will be a transition period for enterprises,whether foreign-invested or domestic,that is currently receiving preferential tax treatments according to former applicable laws and regulations.Enterprises that are subject to an enterprise income tax rate lower than25%may continue to enjoy the lower rate and gradually transit to the new tax rate within five years after the effective date of the EIT Law.Enterprises that are currently entitled to exemptions or reductions from the standard income tax rate for a fixed term may continue to enjoy such treatment until the fixed term expires.Under the EIT Law,enterprises are classified as either resident enterprises or non-resident enterprises.A resident enterprise is an enterprise incorporated under the PRC law,or that is incorporated under the law of a jurisdiction outside the PRC with its de facto management organization located within the PRC.Under the New Implementation Rules,“de facto management organization”is defined as the organization of an enterprise through which substantial and comprehensive management and control over the manufacturing and business operations,personnel, accounting and properties of the enterprise are exercised.Non-resident enterprise refers to an enterprise incorporated under the law of a jurisdiction outside the PRC with its de facto management organization located outside of the PRC,but which has either set up institutions or establishments in the PRC or has its income originating from the PRC without setting up an institution or establishment in the PRC.2.PRC VATAccording to the Provisional Regulation of the PRC on Value-added Tax(“VAT Regulation”),all units and individuals engaged in the sale of goods,provision of processing,repair and replacement services,and the importation of goods within the territory of the PRC are taxpayers of Value-added tax(“VAT”),and shall pay VAT in accordance with the VAT Regulation.According to the VAT Regulation,a VAT tax rate of17%applies to PRC enterprises.OUR COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE REGULATIONSAs confirmed by Commerce&Finance Law Offices,our PRC legal advisors,we are currently in compliance in all material respects with all relevant PRC regulatory requirements and have obtained all material permits and licenses required for our operations.To ensure compliance with all applicable PRC laws and regulations and to prevent any breaches of such laws and regulations in the future,we have already issued written policies to guide our employees.Such policies include work safety guidelines,periodic inspections of all of our production facilities to ensure compliance with applicable laws and periodic training sessions for applicable employees on regulatory compliance requirements.We will promulgate,revise,announce and/or comply with all related regulations and systems of operations,and ensure that our staff members are trained and are fully aware of all such regulations.。
