    The key takeaways are the regulations and definitions around toxic chemicals, hazardous wastes, and nuclear wastes in the Philippines.

    Any transport of hazardous waste requires a prior permit from the Department. Waste generators can only use authorized waste transporters.

    A waste transport record must include the name and address of the waste generator, name of transporter, vehicle registration, transporter license, waste description, quantity, and container type.

    mixtures that present unreasonable risk and/or injury to health or the environment; to

    prohibit the entry, even in transit, of hazardous and nuclear wastes and their disposal in
    the Philippine territorial limits for whatever purpose and to provide advancement and
    facilitate research and studies on toxic chemicals and hazardous and nuclear wastes.

    Sec. 5. Administrative and Enforcement. These Rules and Regulations shall


    be administered by the Secretary or his duly authorized representative or through any
    other department, bureau, office, agency, state university or college and other

    adopted internationally which permits one to generate toxicological information
    from a computer base.

    2. "Chemical Substance" means any organic or inorganic substance of a


    particular molecular identity excluding radioactive materials and includes – any
    element or uncombined chemical; and any combination of such, substances; or
    any mixture of two or more chemical substances.

    3. Chemical mixture means any combination of two or more chemical


    substances if the combination does not occur in nature and is not, in whole or in
    the past, the result of a chemical reaction, if none of the chemical substances and
    if the combination could have been manufactured for commercial purposes
    without a chemical reaction at the time the chemical substances comprising the
    combination were combined. This shall include non-biodegradable mixtures.

    4. "Department" means the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

    6. "Hazardous substances" are substances which present either:

    239
    12. Manufacture means the mechanical or chemical transformation of substances
    into new products whether work is performed by power-driven machines or by
    hand, whether it is done in a factory or in the worker’s home, and whether the
    products are sold at wholesale or retail.

    13. “Occupier” is one who must have a license to accept, produce, generate, store,
    treat, recycle, reprocess, process, manufacture or dispose of hazardous waste.
