South Korea’s K-REACH is about to be implemented

2013-09-12

In late April 2013, the South Korean National Assembly passed the Draft Act on Registration and Evaluation of Chemicals, which requires all regulated hazardous substances to be registered and evaluated starting January 1, 2015.

Because this draft follows the principles of the EU REACH regulation and shares many similarities with it, it is known in the industry as the Korean REACH (K-REACH). Similar to the promulgation of the EU REACH regulation, the release of the Korean REACH also took a considerable amount of time. Like the EU REACH regulation, K-REACH is also a regulation governing substances, and its content broadly covers registration, assessment, authorization, and restriction. Similar to the EU, for example, the registration of hazardous substances requires a sole representative (OR) within Korea.

Currently, K-REACH regulations require manufacturers and importers of chemical substances to provide risk assessment reports to the Korean Ministry of Environment, while users are not subject to this obligation. Information on the safe use of substances is also required to be transmitted downstream from the supply chain, including manufacturers and importers. Manufacturers are also obligated to communicate risk information throughout the supply chain. They must notify manufacturers if their products contain more than 1 ton/year of hazardous substances at a concentration exceeding 0.1% in the finished product. This requirement does not apply to products containing hazardous substances that will not release them during use.

For the final version, please refer to the original text of K-REACH in the attachment.
