2.  Proposed Control of Polychlorinated Naphthalenes and Trichlorfon in Singapore, 2 pages, in English

NEA is proposing to control polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCN) and trichlorfon as Hazardous Substances under the Environmental Protection and Management Act (EPMA) and EPM (Hazardous Substances) Regulations, as well as the phase-out of the production, import, export and use of PCN.

Under the proposal, the control of PCN and trichlorfon under the EPMA and EPM (HS) Regulations is planned to be gazetted by November 2017. With effect from May 2018, the production, import, export and use of PCN in Singapore will not be allowed. A HS Licence will be required for companies that import, export and sell trichlorfon, while end-users that store and use trichlorfon will be required to obtain a HS Permit.
