KKDIK Regulation Amendment Has Been Published

KKDIK Regulation Amendment Has Been Published

The KKDIK regulation change, which has been long-awaited by the Turkish Chemical industry and global chemical companies cooperating with Turkiye, was published in the Official Gazette dated December 23, 2023.

The “Regulation Amending the Regulation on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals” published in the Official Gazette dated 23/12/2023 and numbered 32408 contains official information on the amendments made to the KKDIK (Turkey REACH, TurkReach) Regulation.

In November 2023, the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change (MoEUCC) published the “Draft Regulation Amending the Regulation on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals”. In this draft, it was stated that the registration periods have been extended and the registration deadline and the details of the joint registration process will be determined within the framework of the Procedures and Principles to be published by the Ministry. Since the deadlines published in this draft affected the companies that would register within the scope of KKDIK, the chemical industry almost held its breath and waited.

Finally, with the “Regulation Amending the Regulation on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals” published on December 23, 2023, the updates made to the KKDIK Regulation became official. Thus, all uncertainties concerning the relevant persons and organizations have been eliminated.

Good luck to the Turkish industry.

The amendment postpones the registration deadlines for substance manufactured in or imported into Türkiye as follows: 

31.12.2026  

• Substances at ≥1 000 t/a 

• Substances classified as Aquatic Acute 1 and Aquatic Chronic 1 (H400, H410) at ≥100 t/a
