Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: Continuously improve the entry threshold for new chemical projects

The second is strict access to new projects
.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has formulated the "paraxylene project construction specification conditions", "chromium compound project construction specification conditions", "diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), toluene diisocyanate (TDI) project construction specification conditions" and other industry normative conditions, benchmarking against domestic advanced The requirements for the construction of new projects shall be strict; when cooperating with the National Development and Reform Commission to study the layout of the "Petrochemical Industry Planning and Layout Plan (Revised Edition)" planning projects, it is required that the technical level of new oil refining, ethylene and aromatic hydrocarbon projects must reach the international advanced level
.

The third is to strengthen the safety management of hazardous chemicals
.
The Ministry of Emergency Response instructs all localities to formulate and strictly implement the "prohibition, restriction and control" catalogue of hazardous chemicals, and print and distribute the "Catalogue of Safety Classification and Remediation of Hazardous Chemicals Enterprises" and "Catalogue of Technology and Equipment for Safe Production of Outdated Hazardous Chemicals (First Batch)".
Eliminate the transfer of backward production capacity to different places, guide localities to carry out rectification and improvement, eliminate backward technology and equipment, and effectively prevent safety risks
.
The State Administration for Market Regulation guides all localities to implement industrial product production license management for hazardous chemicals
.

In the next step, we will continue to improve relevant plans, policies, standards and norms with relevant departments, continuously improve the entry threshold for new projects, and strictly implement project safety review and management of hazardous chemicals production licenses
.
Accelerate the elimination of backward production capacity, promote the transformation and upgrading of the chemical industry, and promote high-quality development
.

Multi-departmental efforts to strengthen supervision

In recent years, relevant state departments have continuously improved the prior and in-process supervision system, continued to optimize the business environment, and protected the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises
.

The first is to strengthen the investigation and management of potential safety risks
.
The Ministry of Emergency Response has formulated and issued the "Guidelines for the Inspection and Management of Safety Risks in Hazardous Chemical Enterprises" and "Guidelines for the Inspection and Management of Safety Risks in Chemical Parks (Trial)" to organize and implement precise safety risk inspection and assessment for hazardous chemical enterprises and chemical parks, and improve the establishment of The national hazardous chemical safety production risk monitoring and early warning system has been deepened and applied, promoting the formulation of "one policy for one park" and "one policy for one enterprise", and the implementation of strict governance and rectification
.
The State Administration for Market Regulation organizes the investigation of potential safety hazards in the quality and safety of hazardous chemicals across the country
.

The second is to standardize ecological environment supervision and law enforcement
.
The Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued the "Implementation Plan for the Promotion of Random Inspection System in the Field of Daily Environmental Supervision of Pollution Sources", "Guiding Opinions on Strengthening the Positive List Management of Ecological Environment Supervision and Law Enforcement and Promoting Differentiated Law Enforcement Supervision", and the "Guiding Catalogue of Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Matters for Ecological Environmental Protection" (2020 Annual Edition)", reducing comprehensive law enforcement agencies for ecological and environmental protection, integrating environmental protection law enforcement matters, standardizing the regulatory law enforcement system, reducing duplication, multiple inspections and on-site law enforcement, canceling law enforcement matters that have no legal basis and unnecessary, and strictly prohibiting the field of ecological environment law enforcement "One size fits all" to guide local governments in precise, scientific, and lawful pollution control
.

The third is to increase guidance, supervision and assistance
.
The Ministry of Emergency Response has carefully carried out inspections through various forms such as continuous expert guidance services and unannounced visits to key counties of hazardous chemicals, and urged local governments to resolutely close down and ban enterprises that do not meet the safety production requirements
.
In strengthening supervision and assistance, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment insists on "double-checking", checking not only inaction and slow action, but also disorderly and indiscriminate actions; not only checking environmental violations, but also checking relevant localities' performance of their duties in accordance with the law
.
The State Administration for Market Regulation carries out the qualification accreditation of chemical product inspection and testing institutions in accordance with the law, and promotes the improvement of the ability of inspection and testing institutions through various means such as proficiency testing and laboratory comparison, and provides technical support for the quality supervision of related products
.

In the next step, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment will continue to guide all localities to implement the positive list work in detail, and issue guidelines on further strengthening the "double random and one public" supervision of the ecological environment as soon as possible, and promote the institutionalization, standardization and unification of supervision and law enforcement.
Further improve the efficiency of law enforcement; the State Administration for Market Regulation will strengthen the supervision of product quality and safety during and after the event, and actively cooperate with the ecological environment and other departments to carry out relevant law enforcement work to promote the healthy development of the chemical and chemical industry
