EU 화학물질정책의 최근 동향과 시사점 = EU Chemical Substance Policy: Trend and Implication

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This article focuses on regulations relating to chemical substances, Nano materials, cosmetic products and biocides. Chemical substance is vital part of environmental policy which need to be discussed in general. Nano material is form that has changed characteristics from initial formation of the substance and some of nano materials are on the market despite of considerable controversy about their health and environmental impacts. Because of this condition, safety measure and the labelling system has adopted. New cosmetic regulation will in force from 2013 and economic operators are asking for clearance on the concept of ‘responsible person’. Regulation on the biocidal product 2012 concerns the placing on the market and use of biocidal products. Regulation uses hazard-based “cut-off criteria” for approval based on the intrinsic hazards of active substances. Nano-materials in the biocidal products have specific labelling requirements and must indicate that they contain nanomaterials. Regulations discussed in this article are aiming at the protection of human and environment as well as continued use of safer chemical substances in the internal market. Good labelling information helps consumer to make better choice. Maintaining the high level of protection for human health and the environment through advanced chemical policy is duty given to the nation. Korean government is currently reforming related chemical control laws. As assigned duty, nation need to adopt law that has substantiality from the perspective of environment.
