The Ministry of Environment (MoE) in South Korea has announced late pre-registration criteria on 23 February. Existing substances are chemicals that have been circulated in South Korea before 1991 or nominated by the MoE after the hazards assessment. The initial pre-registration was 30 June 2019.
Late pre-registration is allowed when:
- A company is manufacturing/importing existing substances more than one tonne per year for the first time in South Korea
- The existing substances that the ministry has added to the inventory recently

Companies that have done pre-registration can continue to manufacture or import chemicals without registration.
