摘要

由於我國缺乏化學物質源頭式的管理策略，對於非屬現行法規公告列管之化學物質即可不受管制，直接進入國內作業環境中，為避免危害化學物質未經適當評估而進入工作場所，因而可能造成人員健康與安全之危害，本研究蒐集日本、歐盟、加拿大、美國、韓國及中國大陸等國家有關新化學物質管理作法，針對新化學物質申報管理之相關要點做分析比較，並根據我國現有部門分工制度，提出我國發展新化學物質申報機制。本計畫建議：一、需先建置完成國內『既有化學物質清單』；二、採源頭式管理，從生產、製造、輸入該新化學物質時即進行申報管理；三、建立跨部會單一窗口申報機制，避免廠商需對不同部會進行重覆申報；四、建置完善的商業資訊保密保護辦法以保護廠商商業利益；五、提升國內實驗室GLP測試能量。化學物質申報機制的建置，是源頭式的管理策略，以完備國家整體化學品管理策略，並與國際先進作法接軌，完善對工作場所勞工健康增進與安全保障。

Due to the lack of regulatory management of the use of newly developed chemicals in Taiwan, there is a possibility that new chemicals could adversely affect worker health and cause environmental damage. The objective of this study is to propose an implementation system for new-chemical notification that is suitable for Taiwan.
This study gathered and analyzed information on new-chemical management systems from advanced areas including Japan, the European Union (EU), Canada, the United States of America, the Republic of Korea, and China.
Several suggestions were generated as a result of the study: the establishment of a domestic existing-chemicals list; implementation of a notification process prior to the import, manufacture, or use of new chemicals; installation of an interdepartmental single entry point of notification for corporations; institution of well-established regulations for the protection of business confidentiality; and upgrading of the ability of domestic laboratories to generate scientific data on chemicals.
The development of a new-chemical notification system is vital to the safe management of chemical use, and to compliance with the United Nations SAICM (Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management). A sound and safe system for managing the use of chemicals is also crucial to the protection of worker health and workplace safety.
