MIIT's Department of Science and Technology posted for comment 34 proposed mandatory national standard revision plan projects led by the Laboratory Waste Chemical Safety Preprocessing Specification, posted October 28, 2026, with feedback due November 4, 2026.
Overview
- Item: the Department of Science and Technology, MIIT, posted for comment 34 proposed mandatory national standard revision plan projects led by the Laboratory Waste Chemical Safety Preprocessing Specification (per the MIIT official notice).
- Issuer: Department of Science and Technology, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).
- Posted: October 28, 2026; deadline November 4, 2026; status: comments being collected.
- Process nature: pre-approval posting at the revision-plan project stage, not a draft-text comment round.
- Batch distinction: on the same day (October 28, 2026), MIIT separately posted 3 other mandatory national standards (draft for comment), including Safety Protection Requirements for Color Processing Equipment; that is a different batch and stage and is not part of this posting (per the MIIT homepage notices column).
Scope
- Testing bodies, research institutes, medical institutions and waste-treatment companies handling laboratory waste chemicals.
- Standardization organizations, industry associations and compliance teams tracking the mandatory national standard revision pipeline.
- Industry-chain parties and individuals wishing to comment on the proposed project list.
Key Provisions
| Provision / Element | Content | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Project count | 34 mandatory national standard revision plan projects (proposed for approval) | Scale of this batch's mandatory-standard pipeline |
| Lead project | Laboratory Waste Chemical Safety Preprocessing Specification | The safety preprocessing segment for laboratory waste chemicals enters the standard-setting process |
| Posting | Released October 28, 2026, by MIIT Department of Science and Technology | Pre-approval public posting begins |
| Feedback deadline | November 4, 2026 | Comment window of about 7 days |
| Process nature | Pre-approval posting (revision-plan project stage, not draft-text comment) | Enterprises can get ahead on standards movement in relevant fields |
Compliance Recommendations
- Organizations handling laboratory waste chemicals should track the approval progress of the Laboratory Waste Chemical Safety Preprocessing Specification and submit views before the November 4, 2026 deadline.
- Note that this batch is a revision-plan approval posting: feedback should focus on project selection and the necessity of approval, not specific technical clauses.
- Parties should keep batches separate: the same-day posting of 3 other mandatory standards (including Safety Protection Requirements for Color Processing Equipment, draft for comment) is a different stage and must be tracked on its own terms.
- The detailed list of the 34 plan projects follows the MIIT notice attachments; later draft-text comment rounds will be posted separately.
