Résumé

Part 2 makes provision for the establishment of a Hazardous Chemicals Advisory Committee. The Committee shall have the following functions: (a) to facilitate the coordination of administrative and enforcement activities in relation to the control of chemicals; (b) to advise the Environment Protection Authority in relation to the assessment of chemicals and the control of chemicals that are, or which the Committee considers should be dealt with as, environmentally hazardous chemicals. Part 3 concerns the assessment and control of chemicals and chemical wastes. "Environmentally hazardous chemical" means a chemical (other than a declared chemical waste) the subject of a chemical control order. Without limiting the generality of sections 22 and 23, a chemical control order may be made: (a) so as to prohibit the carrying on of any prescribed activity in relation to a chemical; or any prescribed activity in relation to a declared chemical waste, otherwise than under the authority of, and in accordance with any conditions for the time being in force in respect of, the chemical control order or a licence; (b) so as to apply to or in respect of any type or description of chemicals, or declared chemical wastes, which the Authority has determined have the same or chemically analogous properties; and (c) so as to apply to or in respect of any prescribed type or description of mixture that contains a specified chemical or declared chemical waste, whether or not the contents of any such mixture or waste can be accurately ascertained or quantified.
