India ranks 12th largest chemicals manufacturing country and is one of the leading signatories of Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC).
Under the Convention, Indian companies and entrepreneurs are required to mandatorily declare the details of chemicals under the Chemical Weapons Convention Act, which became a law since July - 2005.
However, declarations made so far are way behind targets considering the type and volume of chemicals India produces, conveys the official 'Indian Chemical Council – Gujarat' press release.
It states that the categories of chemicals under Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) are classified as 'Schedule 1 to 3', OCPF and PSF chemicals. Non–compliance of 'Declaration' under the law is considered a serious offence and can lead to summary closure of unit without any advance notice by authorities.
In its uninterrupted efforts to encourage Indian chemical manufacturers including traders and exporters to file declarations of their products under CWC in Gujarat State - India's chemical hub, a 'CWC Cell' has been set-up with the help of Government Of India.
Release says that this only one of its kind in India 'Cell' would guide and help the companies and entrepreneurs to declare the details of chemicals they manufacture and has so far received 50 percent declarations made.
Once the declarations are received by the CWC Cell, they will be forwarded to Government of India. Presently, the cell services the entire Gujarat State and its 171 functional industrial estates of GIDC.
