(March 2007)
In December 2006, 8th Tripartite Environment Ministers Meeting (TEMM8) was held at Beijing, China.

12. …The Ministers also concurred that three countries will make full use of the existent TEMM source such as TEMM website to help promote information exchange on policies and regulations on chemicals management in order to ensure the protection of human health and the environment in an efficient way. To this end, the Ministers suggested taking chance of international meetings to start information exchange at working level.
As a result, three countries held a working-level meeting at the end of this March at Hayama, Japan. In this meeting we discussed how to proceed information exchange on chemicals management and agreed that three countries would exchange a list of laws, regulations and related documents of each country and put these lists on each government's website.
The lists of each country are shown at the TEMM chemicals management website.
