Specific Q: For the scope of hazardous chemical storage and operation, referring to the execution of the Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals how should one determine whether a business license is required for items listed in the catalog such as sulfuric acid and nitric acid, which do not specify concentration levels? Or is a business license required regardless of the concentration?
A: According to the "Implementation Guide for the Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals (2015) (Trial)", mixtures whose main components are hazardous chemicals listed in the "Catalogue" and whose sum of mass or volume ratios of the main components is not less than 70% (except those identified as not meeting the criteria for hazardous chemicals), should be treated as hazardous chemicals and managed accordingly. Safety regulatory authorities should specify the trade name of the mixture and the content of its main components when handling related safety administrative licensing procedures.
