Scope

This standard specifies the discharge limits of water pollutants from pharmaceutical enterprises or production facilities for mixed preparations. This standard is applicable to the management of water pollutant discharge of existing pharmaceutical enterprises or production facilities of mixed preparations. This standard applies to the environmental impact assessment, environmental protection facility design, completion environmental protection acceptance and water pollutant discharge management of the mixed preparation pharmaceutical industry construction projects. This standard is also applicable to the water pollution prevention and management of production enterprises that make pharmaceutical active ingredients into veterinary drugs through mixing, processing and formulation. This standard does not apply to Chinese patent medicine pharmaceutical companies. This standard applies to the discharge of pollutants permitted by law. The site selection of newly established pollution sources and the management of existing pollution sources in special protection areas shall be in accordance with the "Law of the People's Republic of China on Prevention and Control of Air Pollution", "Law of the People's Republic of China on Prevention and Control of Water Pollution", "Law of the People's Republic of China on Marine Environmental Protection", " The Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Waste, the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Prevention and Control of Radioactive Pollution, and the Law of the People's Republic of China on Environmental Impact Assessment are implemented. The water pollutant discharge control requirements stipulated in this standard are applicable to the discharge behavior of enterprises to environmental water bodies. When an enterprise discharges wastewater into the urban drainage system with a sewage treatment plant, the pollutant discharge control requirements shall be negotiated between the enterprise and the urban sewage treatment plant or implement relevant standards based on its sewage treatment capacity, and reported to the local environmental protection authority for record; urban sewage The treatment plant should ensure that the discharged pollutants meet the requirements of the relevant discharge standards. When a construction project intends to discharge wastewater into the urban drainage system with a sewage treatment plant, the construction unit and the urban sewage treatment plant shall implement the provisions of the preceding paragraph.
