The Ministry of Environment of Korea (MoE) published the Act on Registration and Evaluation, etc of Chemical Substances (known as K-REACH) on January 1, 2015. K-REACH aims to protect public health and the environment. This is achieved by four procedures: notification or registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction of chemicals.

Under K-REACH, manufacturers or importers of a new chemical substance need to register the substances before manufacture or import. Substances less than 100 Kg/year only require notification and do not need to go through hazard evaluation.  The webinar presents the latest updates and upcoming deadlines for 2024 on K-REACH and gives an overview of the compliance obligations.

The speaker, Ms. Barbara Kim (South Korea Regulatory Advisor at GPC) will also share examples of the preparation and submission of the dossier, and will cover what you need to know before exporting to South Korea.
