The deadline to register your hazardous industrial chemicals in Chile has been postponed. This is due to numerous issues with the online platform which led to a last-minute switch to a downloadable Excel form. As a result, Chile has pushed back the deadline for registering hazardous industrial substances under its new REACH-inspired system to September 30, 2024.
Companies that did not meet the original August 30, 2024 deadline have another month from this date to ensure that they register any hazardous industrial substances.
To register your chemicals, firstly you must download the Excel form from on the official agency website (which can be found here). Companies must then complete the required information, and finally, email the completed form to the agency at notificacionsqi@mma.gob.cl. Please note that companies must also attach the Safety Data Sheets for the notified substances in the same email.
The registration applies to importers and manufacturers based in Chile, however foreign companies can help their importers within Chile to complete the forms and ensure the necessary substances are notified. The extension for the deadline provides some further time for this to take place.
