INFORMATION
2026-09-23 11:10:00
Failure to submit PRTR data to the authorities constitutes a violation that can lead to the revocation or refusal of renewal for health hazard business licenses defined by the Public Health Act. Please be reminded that the vast majority of manufacturing facilities qualify as health hazard businesses.
- Health Hazard Business List
2026-09-19 12:28:00
A public consultation for the enactment of the new “PRTR (Pollutant Release and Transfer Register) Act,” which is a prerequisite for OECD membership, is open from August 10 to September 30, 2026, at the following website: https://ethics.parliament.go.th/section77/survey_detail.php?id=614 .
1. Key Points of the Draft PRTR Act (Basic Law)
Covered Facilities
- Facilities (e.g., factories) that manufacture, possess, release into the environment, or transfer designated “target pollutants and chemicals” in quantities exceeding specified thresholds . Note that the specific pollutants and chemicals are not yet defined in this draft.
Reporting Obligations
- Each covered facility must report the manufactured and possessed quantities of target substances, their release into the environment (air, water, soil, etc.), and their transfer as waste or wastewater. These reports must be submitted to the Pollution Control Department (PCD) under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment at least once a year.
Public Disclosure
- The collected data—including release and transfer volumes, facility locations, and business types—will be compiled into a database. Citizens will have easy and free access to this database.
Protection of Trade Secrets
- If disclosing specific chemical names or possessed quantities would cause commercial disadvantage, businesses can file a request for non-disclosure citing “trade secrets”. If approved, a generic “chemical group name” can be used in place of the specific substance name for public disclosure.
Penalties
Failure to fulfill reporting obligations or comply with corrective orders will result in an administrative fine of 200,000 to 1,000,000 THB, with an additional maximum daily fine of 50,000 THB while the violation continues.
- Administrative Penalties: Failure to report or comply with regulatory orders carries a fine of 200,000 to 1,000,000 THB, plus an additional fine of up to 50,000 THB per day until compliance is achieved.
- Criminal Penalties: Submitting false information or concealing facts is punishable by imprisonment for up to 2 years, a fine of 500,000 to 5,000,000 THB, or both. In cases of corporate violations, directors or managers who issued the instructions are also subject to punishment.
2. Impact on Chemical Handling Businesses (Factories)
Increased Compliance and Operational Costs
- Businesses will need to establish systems for accurately measuring, calculating, and reporting release and transfer volumes, conduct testing and registration, and assign dedicated staff. This is expected to significantly increase administrative burdens and operational costs.
Reputation Risks from Public Disclosure
- Because emission data will be publicly available, environmental scrutiny from local residents and NGOs will intensify.
- High emission levels carry the risk of damaging the corporate image and provoking community backlash, necessitating strict accountability regarding environmental initiatives.
Strict Obligations for Intellectual Property Protection
- Companies must carefully navigate the balance between public disclosure and maintaining corporate secrets.
- To prevent the leakage of highly confidential chemical information (such as product formulations), companies must proactively file for “trade secret” protection and establish robust internal governance structures to substantiate these claims.
Severe Legal Risks for Management (Urgent Need to Strengthen Governance)
- Strict provisions are in place, meaning violations such as false reporting can lead not only to corporate fines but also to personal criminal penalties (e.g., imprisonment) for the executive management.
- Consequently, managing these obligations cannot be left solely to frontline staff; there is an urgent need to build a rigorous, top-management-driven chemical management and auditing framework (compliance system).
3. Pending Clarifications (Unconfirmed Matters)
Target Pollutants
- The current draft does not explicitly list the specific pollutants and chemicals to be targeted.
- It only defines the “criteria (properties)” for targeted substances, which include carcinogens, mutagens, reproductive toxicants, chronic toxicants, substances harmful to ecosystems, ozone-depleting substances, and persistent organic pollutants (POPs).
- The specific substance lists are expected to be clarified in future notifications from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.
Definition of Target Facilities
- The exact definition of covered facilities is not clarified in the current draft.
- This is also expected to be detailed in future Ministry notifications.
4. Implementation Timeline
- In principle, the act will take effect on the day following its publication in the Royal Gazette.
- Provisions regarding non-point sources (mobile sources) will take effect two years after publication.
5. Transitional Measures
- The draft stipulates that within five years of the law’s enforcement, the application of designated areas will be expanded to cover all regions nationwide.
Potential Target Pollutants and Chemicals (Historical Reference)
The target substances from the PRTR pilot project—conducted jointly by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, and in which we were also involved—are shown in Table 1.

タイ国 PRTR基本法案の要点
OECD加盟に必須の新たな「PRTR法案（化学物質排出移動登録法案）」の制定に向けた意見公募（パブリックコンサルテーション）が、2026年8月10日から9月30日まで、
下記のサイトで受け付けている。 https://ethics.parliament.go.th/section77/survey_detail.php?id=614
PRTR法案の要点を下記に示した。
PRTR法案（基本法）の要点
対象となる事業者
- 指定された「対象となる汚染物質および化学物質」を規定量以上で製造、保有、環境への放出、または移動させる事業所（工場など）。ただし、汚染物質および化学物質は、本法案では指定されていない。
報告義務
- 事業所ごとに、対象物質の製造量、保有量、環境（大気、水、土壌など）への放出量、および廃棄物や廃水としての移動量を、少なくとも年に1回、天然資源環境省公害管理局に報告
情報公開
- 収集されたデータ（放出・移動量、事業所の位置情報、事業の種類など）はデータベース化され、市民が容易かつ無償でアクセス可
営業秘密の保護
- 特定の化学物質名や保有量が公開されると商業上の不利益を被る場合、事業者は「営業秘密」として情報の非公開を申し立てることができる。これが認められた場合、一般公開時には個別の物質名の代わりに「化学物質グループ名」の使用可
罰則
報告義務の不履行や是正命令に従わない場合は、20万〜100万バーツの行政罰金（違反継続中は日量最大5万バーツの追加）が科される。
-
行政罰 報告の不履行や監督機関の命令に従わない場合、20万〜100万バーツの罰金が科され、正しく履行されるまで1日あたり最大5万バーツの罰金が追加
-
刑事罰 虚偽情報の報告や事実の隠ぺいを行った場合は、2年以下の禁錮、または50万〜500万バーツの罰金、あるいはその両方が科される。法人による違反の場合、指示をした取締役や管理者等も処罰の対象
化学物質取扱事業者（工場）へのインパクト
コンプライアンスおよび運用コストの増大
- 事業者は排出量や移動量を正確に測定・算出・報告するためのシステム構築、試験・登録作業、および専任スタッフの配置などを行う必要があり、大幅な実務負担とコスト増が予想される。
情報公開に伴うレピュテーションリスク
-
排出状況が市民に公開されるため、周辺住民やNGOなどからの環境監視の目が厳しくなる。
-
放出量が多いと企業イメージの低下や地域社会からの反発を招くリスクがあり、環境対応に向けた高度な説明責任が求められる。
知的財産保護の徹底義務
-
情報公開と企業秘密保持のバランスをとることが求められる。
-
製品のレシピなど機密性の高い化学物質情報が流出するのを防ぐため、企業側は自ら積極的に「営業秘密」としての申立てを行い、その根拠を立証するための社内体制整備
経営層の重い法的リスク（ガバナンス強化の急務）
-
虚偽報告等の違反が発生した際、罰金だけでなく経営陣個人の刑事罰（禁錮刑など）につながる厳しい規定が設定。
-
そのため、現場任せにせず、経営トップが関与する厳格な化学物質管理・監査体制（コンプライアンス体制）の構築が急務
未確認事項
対象となる汚染物質
-
現在の法案では、対象となる具体的な汚染物質名および化学物質（リスト）はまだ明確化されていない。
-
対象とする物質の「基準（性質）」のみが定められており、発がん性物質、変異原性物質、生殖毒性物質、慢性毒性物質、生態系への有害物質、オゾン層破壊物質、残留性有機汚染物質などが該当する。
-
今後、天然資源環境省・告示等で明確化されるのだろう。
対象事業所の定義
-
現在の法案では明確化されていない。
-
今後、天然資源環境省・告示等で明確化されるのだろう。
施行時期
- 原則として官報での公示の翌日から
- 非点源（移動発生源）に関する規定は、公示から2年後
経過措置
- 本法の施行後、5年以内に全国の地域を網羅するよう指定区域の適用を拡大していくことが規定

タイは2028年末までのOECD加盟を目指し、包括的な法制度改革を加速させています。HS-TECHエンジニアリングは、日本の化学物質管理専門の月刊誌に寄稿した記事にて、こうした一連の取り組みを詳しく紹介しました。
(参考:「HS-TECHエンジニアリング、化学物質管理専門の日本の月刊誌に記事を寄稿」— https://hstecheng.com/info/6874109)
このたび、タイ工業省工場局(DIW)はOECD加盟に向けた「危険物貯蔵施設に関するweb上での調査」を実施しました。
なお、この調査は9月7日で締め切られました。
本調査における各パートの要点は以下のとおり。
第1部・第2部(基本情報・化学物質に関する理解)
貯蔵目的、担当責任者、GHS分類(2009年版以降)の採用状況を評価します。特に、ドイツの危険物取扱いに関する技術規則である「TRGS 510」について、事業者側の認知度と実務における運用状況を把握している点に注目。
第3部~第5部(施設、安全保管庫、少量貯蔵)
耐火壁や防液堤等の構造面の安全基準への適合状況、認証済み安全保管庫の使用実態、さらに少量の化学物質を貯蔵する際に生じるスペースの制約や導入コストの高さといった固有の課題を評価。
第6部(混載・混合貯蔵)
国連危険物輸送に関する勧告(UN RTDG)やDIWガイドラインなど国際的な指針を参照しながら、混載不適合物質の分離基準に対する事業者の遵守状況を調査。
第7部(一時保管エリア)
一時保管エリアにおける管理措置を検証し、厳格な時間・数量制限の設定、区画表示、ラベルおよびSDSの完備状況を確認。
第8部(固定貯槽)
地下タンク・地上タンクの安全対策を検証し、二重殻構造、容量の100~110%に相当する防液堤、NFPA 70またはUN番号を表示した警告標識の掲示といった基準を重視。
第9部(新ハンドブックへの提言)
自由記述形式で意見を収集し、新規制への対応にあたって事業者が必要とする政府支援(専門家によるアドバイス、実用的なテンプレートなど)を具体的に把握。
「化学物質貯蔵基準の近代化(OECD国際基準との整合)」との関係
本調査は、2028年のOECD加盟に向けて国内規制を国際基準へ整合させようとするタイ国・DIWの動きを直接反映したものです。ドイツの「TRGS 510」、「UN RTDG」、米国の「NFPA 70」といった厳格な国際基準を調査項目に明示的に組み込むことで、DIWは国内の現行慣行を国際的な水準と積極的に照らし合わせていると考えられます。
化学品を取り扱う事業者が直面する実務上・費用面での制約を丁寧に把握していることからは、DIWが近代化された規制枠組みと改訂版ハンドブックの整備を慎重に進めている様子がうかがえます。タイ国内事業者の現状の対応能力と国際的に厳格な貯蔵基準との間のギャップを埋めることで、今後予定される法改正においてOECD基準への適合と国内産業における実行可能性の両立を図ろうとしています。

Thailand is accelerating comprehensive legal reforms as it aims to join the OECD by the end of 2028. HS-TECH ENGINEERING recently detailed these ongoing efforts in an article contributed to a Japanese monthly journal specializing in chemical management.
(Reference: HS-TECH ENGINEERING Contributes Article to the Japanese Monthly Chemical Management Journal - https://hstecheng.com/info/6874109)
Most recently, the Department of Industrial Works (DIW) conducted a web-based "Hazardous Materials Storage Facility Survey."
Jut note that the Survey closed on September 7th.
---
The key points of this survey by Part are outlined below.
Parts 1-2 (General Info & Understanding of Chemicals): Assesses storage purposes, responsible personnel, and the adoption of GHS classifications (version 2009 or newer). Notably, it gauges operators' awareness and practical application of TRGS 510, the German Technical Rules for Hazardous Substances.
Parts 3-5 (Facilities, Safety Cabinets, & Small Quantities): Evaluates structural safety compliance (e.g., fire-rated walls, containment pits), the use of certified safety cabinets, and the specific challenges of storing small quantities of chemicals, such as space constraints and high implementation costs.
Part 6 (Mixed/Combined Storage): Investigates operators' adherence to segregation criteria for incompatible substances, referencing international guidelines like the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UN RTDG) and DIW guidelines.
Part 7 (Temporary Staging Areas): Examines control measures for temporary storage areas, checking for strict time and quantity limits, boundary markings, and the availability of complete labels and SDS.
Part 8 (Fixed Stationary Tanks): Reviews safety protocols for underground and above-ground tanks, emphasizing standards like double-wall construction, 100-110% capacity secondary containment berms, and the display of NFPA 70 or UN number warning signs.
Part 9 (Suggestions for the New Handbook): Collects open feedback and identifies exactly what government assistance operators need (e.g., expert advice, practical templates) to adapt to new regulations.
Relationship to the "Modernization of Chemical Storage Standards (Harmonization with International Norms)"
The survey is a direct reflection of Thailand's momentum toward harmonizing local regulations with global norms to prepare for OECD membership by 2028. By explicitly incorporating strict international standards—such as Germany's "TRGS 510", the "UN RTDG", and the US "NFPA 70"—into the questionnaire, the DIW is actively benchmarking current domestic practices against global expectations.
Assessing the practical and financial limitations faced by operators indicates that DIW is carefully preparing a modernized regulatory framework and an updated handbook. They are attempting to bridge the gap between current local capabilities and stringent international storage norms, ensuring the upcoming legal reform is both compliant with OECD standards and practical for domestic industries.
