Latest Updates for KKDIK

Türkiye introduced legislation for chemicals which is similar to REACH, called KKDIK. Since the regulation was accepted by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanisation and Climate Change (MoEUCC) on 23rd of December, 2017, the aim was to protect the health of society and the environment.

The number of lead registrant dossiers has increased from 2,821 to 2,967, which means 146 more substance has new lead registrant currently. Even though there have been more than 42,000 reference substances on the system called KKS, the majority of these are generated by exemptions and repeated substances. Hence, it is hard to estimate the exact number now.

As long as the deadline for registering substances for the KKDIK is 31st of December 2023, to continuity of the business, firms that manufacture and/or import to Türkiye, must register their substances. Furthermore, if you have the intention to be a leader register for the substance, GPC Türkiye suggests you hurry up before that time.
