HSIA sponsors scientific research on the health and environmental effects of chlorinated solvents, promotes toxicology and epidemiology research on the solvents, and participates in risk assessments conducted by regulatory agencies. In addition, we promote and encourage the responsible product stewardship of chlorinated solvents.
Japan Soda Industry Association (JSIA)
The Japan Soda Industry Association was founded on May 28, 1948. The origin of the industrial group in this sector can, however, be traced back to December 1918, with the establishment of the Soda and Bleaching Powder Society. This society was then reorganized into the Bleaching Powder Association in 1920, and further into the Chlorine Association in 1937, which survived WWII as the Soda Division of the Chemical Industry Control Association. Part of this division was taken over in 1946 by the newly established Soda Industry Association, which was soon reorganized into the Soda Industry Investigation Council. The enforcement of the Antimonopoly Law in 1947 and the Trade Association Law in 1948 led to dissolution of the Council and establishment of a new body as a comprehensive research organization of the industry, the Japan Soda Industry Association.
RusChlor

World Chlorine Council
The World Chlorine Council (WCC) is a global network representing the chlorine and chlorinated products industries. It brings together national and regional trade associations, along with their member companies. The WCC currently represents over 23 national/regional associations in over 27 countries accounting for over 80 percent of global chlorine production. The WCC was formed in 1993 to improve awareness of the benefits of chlorine chemistry; further the practice and understanding of responsible stewardship; and anticipate and respond to relevant health, environmental and public policy issues. Through stewardship, research and advocacy, WCC works to ensure that the products and applications of chlorine chemistry continue to be regarded by policymakers and the public as sustainable and commercially viable.
