The Act on Registration and Evaluation of Chemicals of Korea (a.k.a K-REACH) was passed on Apr 30, 2013. As the first REACH-style chemical regulation adopted in Asia, it is intended to establish a new chemical management regime in Korea. The drafts of K-REACH subordinate statutes, i.e. the Presidential Decree (also known as the Enforcement Decree) and the Ministerial Decree (also known as the Enforcement Rules) were issued on 18 Feb 2014 for public consultation. The subordinate states detail management of chemicals and downstream products.
