On February 13, 2022, the South Korean Ministry of Environment (MoE) announced that products, which have been designated as “household chemical products subject to safety confirmation” or have obtained biocidal product approval under the Act on Safety Management of Household Chemical Products and Biocides (a.k.a. K-BPR), can be exempted from Chemical Control Act (a.k.a. K-CCA) since February 14, 2022 to avoid duplicative management. K-CCA and its subordinate regulations are under amendment to adopt such exemptions.
