Mar 25, 2022 | South Korea simplifies K-REACH data submission for new substance

Chemical industry Regulatory update South Korea South Korea K-REACH

The Ministry of Environment (MoE) in South Korea pre-announced the legislation to update K-REACH. This is aimed at simplifying K-REACH data submission for new substances under 1 TPA (Tonnes per Annum) and easing exemption requirement on new substance reports for Research & Development purposes.

Environmental hazard data (acute toxicity to fish, acute toxicity to daphnia, biodegradability) can be omitted when registering new substances that are manufactured or imported under 1 TPA and when any of the following applies:

·       With water solubility less than 1㎎/ℓ

·       For intermediates use or process regulators use

 

Also, if an overseas manufacturer/producer does not provide the name and identification number of a substance to be imported due to trade secrets, Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) can be submitted instead.
