K-REACH: Downstream users should comply with registration obligations in South Korea

2021-05-11

Compliance strategy chemical notification/registration Registration


The recent partial amendment to K-REACH has been approved by South Korea's parliament on 13 April, and it will be enforced on 14 October. This amendment outlines the culpability of downstream users and resellers that employ unregistered substances. 

Chemical manufacturers and importers who use more than 100 kg of new substances every year, and more than 1 tonnes of existing substances every year obliged to register the substances before starting their business activities. Otherwise, they will face penalties or bans. 

The amendment included not only manufacturers and importers but also downstream users and sellers. In case of non-compliance, there may be risks of recall or ban. However, the detailed sanctions have not yet materialized. 

The amendment also enables the MoE to cooperate with other authorities such as the Customs Office so that the MoE can request import/export documentation concerning a specific substance.
