Korea's K-REACH drafts first list of priority chemical substances for assessment

Korea's K-REACH drafts first list of priority chemical substances for assessment

On October 31st of this year, the South Korean Ministry of Environment (MoE) released the first draft list of Priority Evaluation Chemicals (PECs) under K-REACH regulations. This draft list includes 518 chemical substances, and manufacturers must complete registration within three years of the list being finalized.

The registration requirements for existing chemical substances under K-REACH differ from those under EU REACH. EU REACH requires manufacturers to register all existing chemical substances, but K-REACH only requires registration for chemical substances listed in the Priority Assessment Chemicals (PECs) list if the application volume is greater than 1 tonne per year.

Whether a chemical substance is included in the PECs list is based on its hazardous information and the tonnage used. There are two sources of information on PECs.

1. Hazardous chemicals that were originally regulated by the Toxic Chemicals Control Act (TCCA) in South Korea.

2. Chemical substances that have been identified as hazardous substances internationally.

source	Harmful properties	Application tonnage	quantity
Hazardous Chemicals Management Act (TCCA)	Toxic chemicals	More than 1 ton/year	421
Observed chemical substances
Restricted/banned chemicals
Tonnage-regulated chemical substances	More than 10 tons/year
Chemical substances that may cause accidents	N/A
Discontinue the use of chemical substances	It has nothing to do with tonnage
International Hazardous Chemicals	EU restricts chemical substances	Preferred	351 (of which 254 are duplicates of TCCA hazardous chemicals)
Hazardous chemicals identified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)	More than 10 tons/year
Carcinogenic/mutagenic/reproductive toxic chemicals
Chemicals toxic to aquatic organisms

By requiring manufacturers to register PECs, the MoE hopes to collect information on the application methods of hazardous substances in order to facilitate the formulation of subsequent limits. The ultimate goal is to encourage manufacturers to use chemicals that are safer for the environment and human health to replace these hazardous substances.

The MoE will convene an evaluation committee in March 2015 and is expected to publish the final list of PECs in June 2015.
