2014 Stay Current with K-REACH

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 in Feb recently, which detail management of chemicals and downstream products. To elucidate registration and notification obligations and any possible exemptions, this webinar is held up. Stakeholders can find here the frontier regulatory updates relating to K-REACH, and get best practices shared with Chemtopia.

The webinar will be divided into two sections:

Section 1 Brief Introduction to K-REACH and Its Subordinate Statutes

• Reporting requirement

• Registration

• Communication in supply chain

• Product notification and product management

• Only representative

Section 2 Compliance Suggestions for Non-Korean Companies
