On 14 November 2023, Türkiye’s Ministry of Environment and Urbanization and Climate Change (MoEUCC) issued a draft regulation proposing extensions to the original KKDIK registration deadline of 31 December 2023.  

The proposed extended registration deadlines in the draft are as follows: 

 31.12.2026  

• Substances manufactured or imported in an annual amount of 1000 tons or more as such or in mixtures or articles. 
• Substances manufactured or imported in an annual amount of 100 tons or more as such or in mixtures or articles, and are classified as Aquatic Acute 1 and Aquatic Chronic 1 (H400, H410). 
• Substances manufactured and imported in an annual quantity of 1 ton or more, as such or in mixtures or articles, and are classified carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic to the reproductive system: Category 1A and 1B. 

31.12.2028  

• Substances manufactured or imported in an annual quantity of 100 tons or more as such or in mixtures or articles. 

31.12.2030  

• Substances manufactured or imported in an annual amount of 1 ton or more as such or in mixtures or articles. 

The draft is open for a very short consultation via industry associations, such as TKSD (www.tksd.org.tr) and chemicals management department of MoEUCC ( kyd@csb.gov.tr). REACHLaw is participating in the consultation. 

The proposed extended KKDIK registration deadlines do not affect already submitted registrations, but the process for additional registrants joining the Joint Submission will be open for longer, potentially until the end of 2030. 

REACHLaw Türkiye is following this topic closely, and we will keep you updated on any further developments, such as the publication of the final regulatory update. The update needs to become applicable law before the end of 2023.
