Korea REACH

AREC ("Act on the Registration and Evaluation of Chemical Substances") has been in force since January 1, 2015, and the revised version since January 1, 2019. This is also referred to as K-REACH.

New chemicals with a volume of ≥0.1ton/year and existing chemicals ≥1 ton/year must be registered under K-REACH in order to authorize manufacture, import, use and sale. Domestic manufacturers or importers are obliged to register and foreign manufacturer could appoint an Only Representative (OR) to fulfill their legal obligation.
