Regulation No. 730 of the Cabinet of Ministers validating the Requirements for the use and labelling of certain equipment and products containing hazardous chemicals.

The document establishes rules on the use and labelling of equipment and products containing certain hazardous chemical substances. It defines the scope of the Regulation, including requirements for managing products that contain hazardous chemicals and a list of environmentally harmful products. The Regulation is issued under national laws on waste management and pollution control and aims to reduce risks to human health and the environment.
A major part of the Regulation focuses on equipment containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polychlorinated terphenyls (PCTs). It defines which substances and mixtures fall under this category, specifies thresholds for their concentration, and sets obligations for owners and users of such equipment. These include registration with the State Environmental Service, permanent labelling of contaminated equipment and storage locations, restrictions on reuse, and detailed requirements for decontamination, disposal, or destruction. Strict record keeping and annual reporting obligations apply to entities involved in storage, treatment, or disposal.
The Regulation also addresses batteries containing hazardous substances, requiring labelling and market obligations to comply with the requirements on batteries and battery waste. It confirms the list of environmentally harmful products by reference to EU law. Finally, the document includes annexes with reporting templates and standard labelling examples, while formally aligning the national legislation with relevant EU directives on PCB/PCT disposal and battery waste management.
