Entry into force Eurasia REACH postponed

The entry into force date of Eurasia REACH has been postponed. The regulation was initially planned to come into force on 2nd June 2021.  This postpone is mainly due to the delay of the approvement of the second part of Eurasia REACH regulation in which contains the following information:

• The procedure for the formation and maintenance of the EAEU register of chemical substances.
• The procedure for the notification of New Chemicals.

The authorities underline that a new date for regulation’s entry into force will depend on whenever the second part of the regulation will be approved. Without this, the regulation cannot come into force.

In February this year, a draft of the second part of the regulation was published for public discussion on the EAEU Commission’s website. Many industries expressed and submitted their comments to the EAEU Commission before the deadline on 1st of April 2021.

The EAEU Commission is expected to review the commentaries and approve the second part of the regulation in the near future. When this happens, a new entry into force date of Eurasia REACH will be released.
