The draft Regulations establish mechanisms to implement four instruments for the management of chemical substances, namely: 1. Mandatory implementation of the GHS; 2. Implementation of the National Registry of Chemical Substances (RENASQ), which is managed by MINAM and linked to the National Environmental G/TBT/N/PER/163 - 2 - Information System (SINIA) with a view to producing a national inventory of chemical substances imported into and manufactured in the country; 3. Application of specific measures to reduce and manage risks to health and/or the environment associated with substances that, according to their hazard classification, are carcinogenic, mutagenic, reprotoxic or environmentally hazardous; and 4. Submission of health and environmental risk assessments in order to gather more information on the effects associated with exposure to chemical substances of particular interest and those for which there is insufficient information to ensure their proper management.
