Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) is proposing to regulate 12 new chemicals and chemical groups (see Section 4 above) as Flammable Materials (FMs) under the Fire Safety (Petroleum & Flammable Materials) Regulations (FS (P&FM) Regs).These 12 chemicals and chemical groups have been identified as chemicals and precursors under the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), and are currently regulated by Singapore Customs, as the National Authority for the CWC (NA(CWC)), through the Chemical Weapons (Prohibition) Act (CWPA) and the Chemical Weapons (Prohibition) Regulations. Under the CWPA, depending on the CWC Schedule that the chemicals belong to, companies are required to apply for a NA(CWC) licence from Singapore Customs if they are engaged in activities including the import, export, production, processing, consumption and local sale and distribution of these chemicals.From July 2023, SCDF will also be regulating these 12 chemicals and chemical groups under the FS (P&FM) Regs. Once the regulation takes effect, companies will be required to apply for a P&FM licence from SCDF for the import, storage, transport or conveyance by pipeline of these chemicals. Accordingly, companies engaged in activities involving any of these chemicals would have to comply with the requirements on the import, storage, transport or conveyance by pipeline of these chemicals, that are stipulated in the FS (P&FM) Regs. These include, inter alia, labelling and other requirements for the containers and vehicles that are used to store or transport the chemicals, as well as other specific safety and documentational requirements.
