Article 10. Any adjustment to the boundaries of a chemical industrial park shall be carried out in accordance with the conditions and procedures set forth in the "Shandong Province Chemical Industrial Park Expansion Management Measures (Trial)" and in compliance with laws and regulations.
Article 11: The “one park, multiple zones” model shall be adopted to implement the integration and optimization of parks. Where two existing parks are located within the same county (city, district), they shall be integrated into a single park at an appropriate time. Parks located in close proximity within the same prefecture-level city may be integrated to implement unified management and achieve optimal resource allocation.
Chapter III Project Access
Article 12: When implementing chemical investment projects, the park shall strictly comply with relevant laws and regulations, conform to national industrial policies, and strictly enforce the “Shandong Province Chemical Industry Investment Project Management Regulations” (Lu Gongxin Fa [2022] No. 5). Projects with high technological content, high output efficiency, low energy consumption, low pollutant emissions, and low safety risks are encouraged. The construction of new or expanded restricted-category projects is strictly prohibited; the construction of phased-out-category projects is strictly prohibited; and the construction of new highly toxic chemical projects is strictly restricted.
Article 13: No new non-chemical projects that are not closely related to the chemical industry shall be established within the park; in specialized chemical industrial parks, projects related to the dominant industry shall account for no less than 80% of the total.
Article 14: Park management bodies shall formulate a “Prohibited, Restricted, and Controlled” catalog of hazardous chemicals tailored to regional characteristics and local conditions, establish an evaluation system for projects entering the park, and strictly enforce relevant regulations on output-per-mu efficiency evaluations for such projects; projects that fail to meet the requirements shall not be permitted to enter the park.

Article 34: A park evaluation mechanism shall be established. Provincial-level evaluations shall be conducted at least once every three years, focusing on the park’s economic development, workplace safety, environmental protection, infrastructure, and digital development. The evaluation results shall serve as a key basis for the designation of green parks, the selection of exemplary models, and decisions regarding park expansion or restructuring.
Article 35: A mechanism for the prevention and control of safety and environmental risks in the park shall be established. If a major or higher-level production safety accident or sudden environmental incident occurs in the park, no procedures related to new construction, reconstruction, expansion, or technical renovation projects—other than those for the rectification of safety hazards, environmental pollution control, and smart upgrading and renovation—shall be processed for a period of one year.
Article 36. A dynamic adjustment mechanism shall be established to implement dynamic management. Chemical industrial parks with a small number of chemical enterprises or low main business revenue may have their park status revoked. Parks that have undergone rectification and improvement and meet the assessment standards may regain their park status.
Article 37: For parks that fail the assessment, experience major or higher-level production safety accidents or sudden environmental incidents, fail to achieve a lower safety risk level (Grade D) within the prescribed timeframe, or exhibit other non-compliant circumstances, their status as a chemical industrial park shall be suspended, and they shall be ordered to rectify the issues within a specified timeframe. If they remain non-compliant after rectification within the prescribed timeframe, a request shall be submitted to the provincial government to revoke their status as a chemical industrial park.
