A Study on the CMR Criteria for Domestic Petroleum Stream UVCB Substances

Abstract

Objectives:According to a revised version of the K-REACH, a registration grace period was granted for each recorded tonnage of toxic materials. At this time, 364 hazardous substances, such as carcinogens, mutagens, and agents that cause reproductive toxicity, were announced to be registered by 2021, even if the number of reported tonnage were low. Some petroleum stream substances were excluded from the list due to complications in identifying their compositions. Especially for petroleum UVCB substances, which have varying amounts of ingredients and contents.Methods:A list of domestic petroleum substances is made by researching petroleum substances regulated abroad. The status of domestic and foreign management of the substance was investigated and a method for determining the CMR of petroleum substances is suggested.Results and Discussion:A list of petroleum substances has been compiled. Five methods for CMR determination of petroleum substances, then the currently applicable method has been proposed.Conclusions:By preparing a list for the management of petroleum substances and criteria for CMR judgment, it is expected that even before the test data or epidemiological data of the relevant substance are secured, it can be used for safety management in advance by predicting the hazard.
