South Korea simplifies K-REACH data submission for new substance
The
Ministry of Environment (MoE) in South Korea pre-announced the legislation to
update K-REACH. This is aimed at simplifying K-REACH data submission for new substances under 1 TPA (Tonnes per Annum) and easing exemption
requirement on new substance reports for Research & Development
purposes.
Environmental hazard data (acute toxicity
to fish, acute toxicity to daphnia, biodegradability) can be omitted when
registering new substances that are manufactured or imported under 1 TPA and when
any of the following applies:
·
With water solubility less than
1㎎/ℓ
·
For intermediates use or process
regulators use
Also, if an overseas manufacturer/producer does not provide the name and
identification number of a substance to be imported due to trade secrets, Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) can be submitted instead.
