Before handling the Controlled Chemicals, a handler shall apply to the central competent authority for permission. No handling shall be commenced without permission.
Those who, before the implementation of these Regulations, have domestically handled the Controlled Chemicals as defined in Article 2, shall within one year of these Regulations coming into force obtain a permit. The same applies in the event of any change to Appendix 1.

To apply for handling permission of the Controlled Chemicals, a handler shall submit the following information items:
1.Basic information of a handler, as specified in Appendix 2;
2.Handling information of the Controlled Chemicals, as specified in Appendix 3.
The application information of the preceding paragraph shall be registered on the designated information website in accordance with the methods published by the central competent authority. Fees shall be charged in accordance with the fee standards issued by the central competent authority.
If the Controlled Chemicals under the applications of the first paragraph are mixtures, containing the same ingredients in different concentrations, but with the same use, hazard classifications, and exposure control measures, the permission may be jointly applied for.

When the central competent authority accepts the application pursuant to the preceding article, to review the application, the central competent authority may visit handling sites and execute on-site inspection, if necessary.

Processing the application pursuant to the preceding article, the central competent authority shall notify the applicant of the permission result within 30 working days upon acceptance of the application. The period may, if necessary, be extended for 30 working days. However, the limit does not cover cases where the cause for not being able to complete the application within the given time is attributable to the handler.

If one of the following circumstances occurs to a handler applying for permission, the central competent authority may not accept the application:
1.Failing to register information pursuant to Article 7.
2.Failing to pay the fee in accordance with the application fee standard.
3.After receiving a timely supplementation or correction notice, but failing to do so within the period of time prescribed.

If one of the following circumstances occurs to a handler applying for permission, the central competent authority may not grant permission:
1.The advisory committee determines there is a significant risk.
2.The permit for the Controlled Chemical has been revoked or cancelled by the central competent authority due to violation of the Act or these Regulations within two years.
