The article discusses the author's views on the impact of the European Union's Regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) to the petrochemical industry in China. He thinks that the Chinese petrochemical companies are challenged of the substance of very high concern (SVHC) listing under REACH. The author suggests that China must improve its own petrochemical regulations as it still lag behind the European safety and environmental protection.
