2021-05-11

Pre-registration K-REACH Priority substances


The Ministry of Environment (MoE) in South Korea updated the list of pre-registered substances, which in total becomes 17,096 substances. The list includes 1,800 substances that are manufactured and imported more than 1000 tpa and 78 CMR substances. The full registration deadline for these substances is by 31 December this year.

The MoE indicates no extension to the 2021 registration deadline though there was three months extension for 510 Priority Existing Chemicals (PEC) registration in 2018. 

Companies shall aim to complete full registration at least three months before the deadline as it might take some time to get a registration certificate due to a compliance check. The MoE regularly monitors pre-registration status e.g. tonnage band so that the companies can meet the deadline.
