China MEP Approves 2 new NCSN GLP Labs

These two institutes are now accredited by the MEP as GLP-approved labs capable of producing data for China NCSN. They are required to submit annual work reports to the MEP in January of each year and will be subject to several regular, random inspections and targeted supervision over non-compliance items.

Simplified Notification

It should be noted that the Guizhou Academy of Testing and Analysis, formerly the Guizhou Research Center for Physical Test and Chemical Analysis working in collaboration with CNCIC was punished by the MEP in June 2013 when news of a major scandal involving gross misconduct, fabrication and falsification of China NCSN dossiers broke. (ChemLinked news). As a punishment, no chemical testing data from the Guizhou testing institute was accepted by the MEP for a period of one year. Over a year has passed since the scandal broke and the Guizhou testing institute has been reinstated as an accredited testing laboratory by the MEP for generation of China NCSN testing data.

CTI’s Chemical Safety Evaluation Research Center (Su Zhou) Co., Ltd. (CTI-CSERC), a wholly owned subsidiary of CTI (Centre Testing International Cooperation) has been newly approved. CTI is also the owner of the REACH24H Consulting Group.

In addition to the newly approved two institutes, there are another 11 qualified testing institutes previously approved in 2009. The name list is accessible here.

Each testing institute is only authorized to generate data for testing items within a scope officially approved by the MEP for China NCSN. Chinese NCSN notifiers should also pay attention that for some eco-toxicological testing only the test report generated by these qualified institutes can be accepted.
