There has been a notable increase activity in Peru related to the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) and chemical management in recent years. In line with regional and national trends, Peru approved Leglislative Decree N. 1570 in May 2023 and its implementing Regulation in April 2026.
The substantive obligations, such as classification, labelling, Safety Data Sheets (SDS/FDS) and reporting to the National Register of Chemical Substances (RENASQ), are phased in over a transitional period running from 1 January 2028 to 30 September 2031. During that window, companies will not face sanctions: enforcement bodies (the EFAs) are instructed to carry out only orientation-based supervision.
