Abstract

In previous chapters we have focused on 10 states outside the “European neighborhood” which responded to EU chemical regulation in different ways. However, there are more states affected by REACH which had to act. Some of them are more integrated into international networks and were proactive on the international level from the early beginning (Switzerland, Canada, Australia) while others have similar attitudes like the BRIC countries. In this chapter chemical regulation in some remaining countries will be explored and at which level are they affected by REACH, regardless of their geographic position in order to improve the complete picture about EU chemical regulation on the international level. This chapter deals with the chemical regulation within Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Switzerland including other countries which decided to improve its chemical management.

Fußnoten
1
Substance may become CEPA-toxic based on a showing of potential harm under the evidence of significant hazard or exposure, not necessarily both. This attitude is similar to REACH precautionary principle (see Denison 2009b).
 
2
To the Toxic Substances List are placed chemicals which have or may have an immediate or long-term harmful effect on the environment or its biological diversity, constitute or may constitute a danger to the environment on which life depends or constitute or may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health.
 
3
This is defined as: „the ultimate reduction of the quantity or concentration of the substance in the release below the level of quantification specified by the Ministers in the List referred to in subsection“ (Section 65).
 
4
This is only approximate number as the methodology used may differ (e.g. DG TRADE may consider under chapter chemicals different items of goods than the World Bank).
 
5
Swiss authority uses IUCLID 5 format for dossier submission which is another important similarity with EU REACH.
