INTR OD LICTION
BACKGROUND
l I I’( ) [
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed
the first World-at-a-Glance (WAAG) report in 1990 covering interna-
tional chemicals program similar to those of the United States This
report focused primarily on legislation from countries within th Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). EPA received many
positive comments on the 1990 report from foreign governments, internation-
al organizations, members of industry, and public interest groups.
Since 1990, many countries have upgraded their chemical laws with
newer, expanded legislation, while many other countries have developed
and implemented their first chemicals laws. In addition, the development of
the London Guidelines for Prior Informed Consent (PlC) has led to an
increased interest in chemical program development throughout the world.
This interest is expected to !ncrease as work toward a PlC convention
proceeds. As a result of these developments, the 1990 WAAG report has
become out-of-date and no longer adequately characterizes the world’s
chemical laws and programs. Therefore, EPA has developed this 1995
WAAG update.
T he U.S. EPA has developed the WAAG report to meet several national
- and international needs. - These include:
• To provide information to U.S. industries that operate in the global
marketplace and engage in international commerce (especially the
export of chemicals and products containing chemicals, as well as
the purrthase or development of subsidiaries in foreign countries) to
assist them in complying with the requirements of foreign chemical
laws and allow them to enter foreign markets with greater speed and
facility.
• To assist the U.S. government in learning about the experiences of
other countries in the development of their chemical legislation
programs as the government considers possible refinements ‘n U S.
chemicals laws.
• To provide a reference for United Nations Environmental Programme
(UNEP) and the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAQ) of he
United Nations (UN) efforts to implement the current Prior Informed

Consent program. establish a binding !C convention, and develop
model chemical legislation
• To provide a reference for developing countries that are considering
establishing or strengthening chemical legislation
• To provide a reference for discussions and correspondence with
foreign governments concerning exports from the U S to those coun-
tries and to ensure that foreign governments are notified of chemical
exports from the U S
• To assist EPA in responding to the many. inquiries received from
industry, environmental groups. and other members of the public for
- information regarding chemical laws in other countries

T he U.S. EPA has developed the 1995 WAAG report to provide an easy,
reference to chemical laws and programs of other countries The
report provides a series of world and regional maps to allow readers
to observe global patterns of chemical regulations and to allow quick dentiui-
cation of countries and programs of interest EPA has elected
to highlight specific key features or ‘pointers of chemical legislation from
various countries rather than develop full, detailed descriptions of all of th
laws identified. EPA chose this approach for several reasons Most impor-
tantly. EPA recognized that it would be extremely difficult and resource
intensive to accurately ch&acterize the details of each national program and
that there would be a substantial risk of mischaracterizing some of tre
programs described Instead, by providing a pointer to the main feaI’ res
of each country’s program, as well as providing copies of laws ana c :t. ntry
contacts to those interested in obtaining more detail in the operatc.r :! ose
laws, EPA hopes to ensure that accurate information is received r : :ion
EPA intends to keep this report current through regular updates T - ‘ ‘:
be difficult to complete in a timely manner if EPA attempted to
characterize the operations of each country’s chemical programS
T his report reflects information obtained through EPA’s informaticr’
searches and responses to EPA’s written requests for infcrrr’a:’c ’
EPA contacted only those countries that are participating n
UNEP/FAO PlC program or that have contacts that could be ideniI’.
through EPA’s TSCA export notification program As a result, only “r I
U

INTRODLICTI(L \
recognized independent countries 1 were contacted Further the 4 vorid’s
oolitical geography has changed significantly since EPA began this effort
For example, the Soviet Union have dissolved into many new nations As a
result, the status of laws in those new countries may be in rapid flux and the
information contained in this report may not be accurate for those countries
It should be noted that EPA’s request for information was made in English
and not the official language of each country This may have prevented EPA
from obtaining a response from some countries It is also possible that
reques s to some countries were not re ived by the person most able to
respond In addition, it is possible that due to international communications
problems associated with surface mail, EPA’S request to some countries may
not have been received or that some countries responses may ot have
been received by EPA. Consequently, there may be countres with active
chemical laws and programs that are not reflected in this document and thus
the statistics reported in this dogument mnot be completely accurate
Finally, EPA has developed this report based upon a review of ‘he laws
obtained from many countries It is possit 1e that EPA may n : -‘ accu-
rately characterized some laws, or may have characterizea :r - a manner
different from the way they are implemented Individuals St’O ,d . - rfy the

In developing this report. EPA focused on identifying tt e: •‘
certain features or pointers in foreign country chemical laws ir :. :‘ jr’s
These pointers include
• Chemical Control Programs (i e. whether the law prc . ’ . -.

• Confidential Business Information Protection Provs cns (i e whether
the law affords protection of Industry-provided trade secret
information).
• Enforcement Provisions (i e.. whether there are explicit provisions for
enforcing the law, including penalties);
• Import & Export Programs (i.e. whether there’are provisions for
notification or control of exports, or certification, control, or notificaton
of imports),
• Pollutant Release & Transfer Registry (i e , whether there are
provisions for inventories of chemical releases and transfers, and
providing that information to the public),
• Information Collection Provisions (i e , whether there are provisions to
require industry to submit data):
• Emergency Planning (i.e.. whether there is a program to ensure local
protection and remediation for possible accidents at chemical
handling facilities):
• New Chemical Program (I e., whether there is a program to control
possible risks from new chemicals enfering commerce),
• Chemical Substance Inventory (i e.. whether there is a listing of
chemicals in commerce in the country);
• Participation in UNEP/FAO PlC Program (i e. whether the country has
elected to participate in the current, PlC program by designating a
national authority);
• Pollution Prevention Provisions Ci e , whether there are explicit provi-
siOns that encourage ‘Design for the Environment.” sa(er suostitutes,
source reduction, or other programs to prevent pollution), and
• Testing Requirements (i e, whether there are provisions for gcvern-
ment- or industry-sponsored testing of chemical substances)
There are three U S laws that address the chemical program features
listed above: (1) The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA. 1976). (2) The
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA. 1986) and
(3) The Pollution Prevention Act (PPA. 1990). These three laws were i.sed as
a basis for identifying and explaining the legislation identified for the WaJ G
report.

The following data are organized around the 12 chemical law ard cro-

The statistics presented for each pointer were calculated as ‘.“ .
• The “world total” for each feature was derived by adding .
number of countries which currently have such a prograrr cer•
centage was calculated by dividing this total by the numbef :1
