Ukraine Proposes New Compliance Extensions Under UA REACH and UA CLP
The Ukrainian government has released a draft resolution proposing extended compliance timelines under UA REACH and UA CLP. The proposed deadlines UA REACH update is now under public consultation. This draft aims to give companies more time to fulfil core regulatory duties. These duties include classification notifications, pre-registrations, and full substance registrations.
The Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources has published the draft text. This draft outlines new target dates that could ease near-term regulatory pressure on industry. The extensions are not yet legally binding. Companies must therefore continue meeting current UA-REACH and UA-CLP obligations.
Proposed Changes to UA-CLP Notification Requirements
The draft resolution includes one key change for UA-CLP notifications. The notification deadline for existing substances would shift from 15 November 2025 to 15 May 2026. This additional time could help companies refine their classification data.
Proposed deadlines extensions under UA REACH: Pre-Registration and Registration
The draft proposes more generous timelines for both pre-registration and full registration steps. The pre-registration deadline would move from 26 January 2026 to 26 January 2027. This shift offers companies more time to prepare compliant substance portfolios.
Full registration deadlines would also change across all tonnage bands. The draft proposes a deadline of 1 October 2028 for CMR Category 1A/1B substances above one tonne per year. The same deadline would apply to substances very toxic to aquatic life above 100 tonnes per year. Substances above 1,000 tonnes per year would have a new target date of 1 October 2029. The 100–1,000-tonne band would shift to 1 June 2031. The 1–100-tonne band would extend to 1 March 2033.
What Companies Should Do Now
These proposed deadlines UA REACH remain draft provisions. They may change before adoption. Companies should continue submitting UA-REACH pre-registrations and UA-CLP notifications under current rules. However, companies should monitor the consultation process closely. Early preparation will ensure smoother compliance once the final resolution is issued.
The proposed extensions could reduce immediate regulatory pressure. They may also support more accurate and complete data submissions across the supply chain.
