    K-REACH, Regulation of Chemical products in Korea

    The Registration and Evaluation of Chemicals Act (known as Korea’s REACH) was passed by the plenary session of the Korean National Assembly on April 30, 2013 and came into force on January 1, 2015. In December 2016, the Ministry of Environment (MoE) began reviewing K-REACH and the modified K-REACH came into force on January 1, 2019.

    The competent authority in South Korea for K-REACH is the Ministry of Environment (MoE). This is responsible for the registration and evaluation of chemical substances under this Law.

    The purpose of K-REACH is to protect public health and the environment through these provisions:

    • The registration/notification of chemical substances
    • The exemption from Registration or Notification of Chemical Substances
    • The notification of Substances subject to Intensive Control and the Notification of Products Containing Chemicals of Intensive Control and;
    • The provision of information

    According to the Korea REACH (K-REACH) there are currently 3 deadlines for the submission of chemical substance registrations based on their characteristics and their annual manufacturing or import tonnage:

    December 31, 2021

    Deadline for the registration of CMR substances greater than 1t/year and substances greater than 1000t/year

    December 31, 2024

    Deadline for registration of substances greater than 100t/year

    December 31, 2027

    Deadline for registration of substances greater than 10t/year

    December 31, 2030
