September 8^th

Half day seminar, held by DIW: Criteria and Procedures of New Hazardous Substance Law and Amendment of mercury and its derivatives management’, held on September 8^th at DIW, Bangkok.

You are able to access the existing chemicals on the HSCB’s web site by inputting;

1) CAS number for single substances  or

2) Company name and trade mane for each product.

An officer of HSCB realized that it was challenging for researchers to search data from the PIDB through inputting company name and trade mane. The PIDB requires correctness and consistencies for each company name and trade mane.
