Registration

Under the Indian CMSR, all Substances listed in Schedule II will require registration if placed on the Indian market in quantities greater than 1 tonne.

Additionally, Substances listed in Schedule II which are present in articles will also have to be registered when they fulfill the two following conditions:

  1. They are intended or likely to be released under normal or foreseeable conditions of use
  2. They are present in the Article in quantities greater than 1 tonne per producer or importer per year

Schedule II currently includes 750 Substances, and it will be expanded as the Indian National Chemical Authority evaluates notified Substances and decides upon their inclusion in the Schedule.

Priority Substances, among which Schedule II Substances are chosen, include the following:

  1. Any substance falling under the following Hazard Classifications of the 8th Revision of the United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (UN GHS):
    1. Carcinogenicity, Germ Cell Mutagenicity or Reproductive Toxicity, Categories 1 or 2
    2. Specific Target Organ Toxicity (Repeated Exposure or Single Exposure), Categories 1 or 2

  3. Any Substance which is considered to be very Persistent and very Bio-accumulative (vPvB) under the criteria set out in Schedule I
