According to the recent changes in Japan’s regulatory affairs act, the Chemical Substances Control Law (CSCL), Japanese companies that deal new chemicals in small quantities (that is, less than a ton per year) must submit an application for their new substances before manufacturing and/or importing.

“We have decided to go with Marvin JS out of a single reason: it is really simple to integrate into any web environment and companies can generate MOL files easily,” NITE representative says.
“Thanks to Patcore Inc, our exclusive distributor partner in Japan, we could build up a strong presence on the cheminformatics market in the country. NITE’s platform allows us to stabilize our presence further by introducing our market leading online chemical editor, the Marvin JS to a wide audience. We are looking forward to working together with governmental institutions in Japan in the long term,” Ferenc Csizmadia, CEO of ChemAxon, added.
