China is revising its rules on new chemical substance registration, with a draft revision of the Measures for the Environmental Management Registration of New Chemical Substances, commonly referred to as China REACH.
The draft was released by China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment on 11 June 2026 and was open for public comment until 12 July 2026. Once finalised, the revised measures are expected to replace MEE Order No. 12 of 2020.
