About this presentation
2024 will mark the deadline for substances subject to K-REACH registration in the 100 – 1000 tonnage band in South Korea. Companies placing chemical substances on the South Korean market in quantities 100 kg per year or 1 tonne per year or more, depending on the type of substance, are required to register these substances to the Ministry of Environment, unless specifically exempt from the registration requirement. If you already are placing substances on South Korean market that do not yet require a registration, these should already be pre-registered, but in some cases of new supply, you can still late-pre-register. For 100 – 1000 tonne per year substances, the registration deadline will be 31 December 2024. Preparing and submitting your registration depends on many factors, such as whether someone already is the Lead Registrant, what data is available for the registration, how and when to join a Joint Submission, and what are the associated costs. In this presentation, we will cover the current status of the K-REACH registration process and how companies can manage and prepare for the 2024 registration deadline.
