Abstract
Despite Japan’s presence in the global economy, its industrial chemical regulations were less accessible than other economies’ chemical regulation frameworks, such as the United States’ Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and Europe’s Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH), due to the limited information in English. Since the Japanese government considered chemical regulations as domestic issues, it did not prioritize disseminating information to overseas stakeholders. This Case Study outlines Japan’s industrial chemical regulation framework and highlights the Chemical Substance Control Law (CSCL) by elaborating on its development history and amendments. The author was involved in CSCL implementation for more than 14 years.
