Ukraine Takes Another Step Towards EU Integration by Approving State Register of Chemicals
On 21 August 2024, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine (MEPNR) announced that the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved the procedure for maintaining the State Register of Chemicals. This is an important step towards alignment with European Union standards. This register will contain detailed information on all chemical substances produced, imported or sold in Ukraine in quantities exceeding one tonne per year. It will cover not only industrial chemicals but also those used in everyday products such as detergents, paints, clothing, furniture and electronics.
Database to Provide Information on Chemical Safety to Public
The creation of this register follows a public consultation process that ended on 12 August 2024, during which the draft resolution for the register was open for feedback from stakeholders.
According to Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources, Olena Kramarenko, the mandatory registration of these substances is in line with the recently adopted Technical Regulation on the Safety of Chemical Products (also known as Ukraine-REACH), which implements the EU's REACH Regulation. The register, which will be accessible through the national EcoSystem platform, will be a publicly accessible database containing key information on chemical manufacturers, importers and suppliers, as well as details on the potential risks and safety measures associated with these substances.
