On 12th May 2023, the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change of Turkey made an announcement for the substances, mixtures, or articles which are subject to registration under KKDIK.

According to the KKDIK Regulation (Bylaw on Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals), whether the substances produced or imported in an annual amount of 1 ton or more in their own form, in the mixture, or in the article are within the scope of KKDIK, and if they are in the scope, whether they are subject to registration requirements are included in the second article of the KKDIK Regulation, titled "Scope".

In addition to that, useful guides on the implementation of the KKDIK Regulation have been published on the Ministry’s website.

In this context, considering the fact that companies are the most reliable owners of information about their own production processes and chemicals and the above explanations, by evaluating the guides in the help desk, primarily the "Registration Guide"; it is expected that the Chemical Evaluation Experts (KDU) determined by the parties or other expert authorities make a determination as to whether the substance, mixture or articles are subject to registration, and do not apply for the written approval of the Ministry in this regard. The Ministry does not issue an approval letter on the subject.

The deadline for KKDIK registration, 31 December 2023, is not expected to be postponed. We suggest that industry representatives should complete the process as soon as possible since substances not registered after the deadline will not be able to enter the Turkish market.
