Sodium chlorate (NaClO3) under IECSC
NaClO3 · 氯酸钠
Status: Listed. Sodium chlorate is on IECSC as an existing chemical. **China Hazardous Chemicals Catalogue (2015 edition) lists sodium chlorate as a hazardous chemical** (verify against https://www.mem.gov.cn/ before relying). **Production + storage + use license required per Regulations on the Safety Management of Hazardous Chemicals (State Council Decree 591)**. Major Chinese producers: Shandong Lubei Enterprise (Wudi Shandong), Hebei Yuanli, Inner Mongolia Junzheng Energy + Chemical, Sichuan Yibin Tianyuan; verify each producer-site pair against the producer's public website before relying.
IECSC treats sodium chlorate as a Hazardous Chemicals Catalogue (2015) listed substance with **State Council Decree 591 production / storage / use license requirement**. **China is a major sodium chlorate producer**; export consignment to Canada / EU / US / Australia / Korea is the typical Chinese trade direction. Major Chinese producers Shandong Lubei + Hebei Yuanli + Inner Mongolia Junzheng + Sichuan Yibin Tianyuan. **Pulp + paper ClO2 ECF bleaching ~85% downstream chains**.

Glossary
IECSC, Inventory of Existing Chemical Substances in China
The Chinese national chemical inventory listing substances legally manufactured, imported, used, or sold in China before 2003. A substance not on IECSC requires a New Chemical Substance Notification (NCSN) under MEE Order 12 before it can be manufactured or imported into China. Functionally similar to TSCA in the US and REACH in the EU but with distinct procedural requirements.
