Ukraine to Enforce REACH Regulations by January 2025

On July 23, 2024, the Ukrainian government approved the Ukrainian Technical Regulation on Chemical Safety, modeled after EU REACH. This requires the registration of chemical substances produced or imported over one ton annually. The regulation becomes effective on January 23, 2025, six months after its approval.

Registration Deadline

The final regulation, updated from April 2024's draft, extends the chemical registration deadline. The following are the implemented changes.

The pre-registration deadline, crucial for businesses, is set for January 23, 2026. This process will simplify registration for chemicals already on the Ukrainian market, ensuring ongoing market operations during full registration.

Warm Reminder

The extension of Ukraine's REACH registration deadline eases initial compliance pressures and facilitates a smooth transition. As the regulation activates on January 23, 2025, companies should actively engage and stay updated on guidelines to ensure timely registration and strategic market positioning.
