The Ministry of Environment (MoE) in South Korea has published an updated list of over 17,000 pre-registered substances under the K-REACH regulation. Notably, 3,001 of these substances fall into the 100 to 1,000 tonne annual volume category, which necessitates full registration by December 31, 2024. This registration is essential for the continued importation or manufacturing of these substances within this volume range.
For substances exceeding 1,000 tonnes, the registration deadline was at the end of 2021, and there are still 96,000 active applicants for these substances, highlighting their importance in the market. Each pre-registered substance includes critical information such as:
- KE reference number
- CAS number
- Number of applicants
- Annual volume
- Intended consumer use
- Basic hazard details
Companies importing substances in South Korea that fall within the 100 to 1,000 tonne category should ensure they are ready for the upcoming deadline.
