Background
Are you export new chemicals to Korea? Are you familiar with the new Korean MSDS requirement? Then you should be aware of the current chemical legislation.
The Chemicals Act on the Registration and Evaluation of Chemicals (ARECs), introduced in South Korea in 2015, is better known as the Korean-REACH (K-REACH) and has already been updated in 2019. Furthermore, the revised Korea Occupational Safety and Health Act (KOSHA) was also published in 2019. Since this year, there has been important changes regarding the online submission of MSDSs. In addition, the Consumer Chemical Products and Biocides Safety Act (K-BPR) was enacted in 2019, which regulates biocidal products and consumer chemicals on the Korean market. The current amendments, which came into force on 1 January 2021, also contain important aspects that you should not neglect.
Together with our experts from the REACH24H Consulting Group in Hangzhou, China, we provide you with the latest regulatory developments and practical requirements in this webinar. In the first part, we will look in particular at the complex Korean chemicals legislation, while in the second part we will take a closer look at how to deal with Korean safety data sheets. You will receive valuable advice on how companies should deal with the regulations based on actual cases.
