K-REACH Registration

Background of K-REACH

K-REACH is the abbreviation of The Act on Registration and Evaluation, etc. of Chemicals in Korea. The law was officially implemented on January 1, 2015. For the management of new chemical substances, existing chemical substances, and downstream products, this act adopts registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction requirements similar to the EU REACH regulations.

The revised K-REACH regulation was officially implemented on January 1, 2019. The case introduced the pre-registration of existing substances and the phased registration model by tonnage, which has had a significant impact on the chemical industry. According to the Korean K-REACH regulation, new chemical substances with annual tonnage over 0.1t/a and existing chemical substances with annual tonnage over 1t/a are required to be registered before entering the Korean market. In addition, all existing substances exceeding 1t/a must be submitted to the office for pre-registration before June 30, 2019, and formal registration needs to be completed before the grace period ends.
