Presentation Overview

The Act on the Registration and Evaluation of Chemicals known as the amended K-REACH came into force on January 1, 2019. In the subsequent years, the regulations have entered a transition period where the full registration of chemicals is required on a phased basis depending on the chemical properties and the required tonnage band.

During this time not only has much been learned regarding the process and data requirements but also there have been further updates to the GHS requirements for substance mixtures introduced by K-OSHA. Becoming aware of, and understanding these changes is vital to reducing the barriers to entry to the Korean market.

Presentation Overview

In recent years the chemical regulatory framework in China has undergone fundamental changes with the introduction of MEE Order 12 (also known as China REACH), this regulation replaced and updated the foundation regulation MEE Order 7, which had been in place since 2003.

These changes include an update to the registration process and Data Requirements of New Chemical substances in China, the introduction of regulations for Highly Hazardous Substances, the implementation of new requirements under GHS, and the trial of the “One Enterprise, One Product, One Code” among others. Becoming aware of and understanding these changes is vital to reducing your barriers to entering the China market.
