K-REACH Amendments Approved to Accelerate New Chemical Registration

South Korea’s MoE approved the amendments on K-REACH Enforcement Rules to simplify and accelerate new chemical registration and approvals of exemptions for R&D purposes. However, only new chemical substances affected by the Japan’s trade dispute are eligible for the favorable measures. The measures will apply until Dec 31st, 2021.

In response to the urgent requests from South Korea’s government to minimize industry losses during this difficult time, the Ministry of Environment (MoE) approved on Sep 16th by MoE Decree No.824 the amended K-REACH Enforcement Rules to include temporary measures to ease new chemical localization and promote R&D.
