On-Site Inspection for Manufacturing Firms according to Enforcement of Laws by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry

Observation of international verification activities at the factories and on-site inspection at the licensed manufacturer and licensed user, based on the Act on Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and the Regulation of Specific Chemicals (CW law).

Some chemicals, used as raw materials for many products in many factories, are regulated by the Chemical Weapons Convention (Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction).

Verification is implemented by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), an international organization, for factories that produce or use such chemicals.

Regarding verification, as the main member of the Inspected State Party, NITE (National Institute of Technology and Evaluation) observes and supports verification activities that should be implemented under the regulations of the Chemical Weapons Convention.

In addition, based on the CW law, NITE performs on-site inspections of the licensed manufacturer and licensed user handling specific chemicals regulated by the CW law for use in analysis and research.
