Ukraine REACH Regulation text and Registration Deadlines are now official

On July 23, 2024, the Ukrainian government approved the technical regulation for the safety of chemical products, known as Ukraine REACH.

Ukraine REACH will come into force on January 23, 2025, six months after its approval. The pre-registration process will last until January 23, 2026.

Registration Deadlines are:

·??????? October 1, 2026: Substances at ≥1,000 t/a, CMR substances (Category 1A and 1B) at ≥1 t/a, Substances very toxic to aquatic organisms (acute or chronic) at ≥100 t/a

·??????? June 1, 2028: Substances at 100 – 1,000 t/a

·??????? March 1, 2030: Substances at 1 - 100 t/a

?

Authorization Deadline for all 59 entries in Annex XIV on Authorization is April 1, 2027, and a sunset date (SSD) of June 1, 2027.

The approved new deadlines present a feasible, yet challenging time frame. Early action on lead registration nomination and lead dossier work is advisable to ensure compliance.

Starting early and utilizing the first six months of the transitional period until Ukraine REACH comes into force can help ensure that all requirements are met comfortably by the first registration deadline in October 2026.

Ukraine REACH provides the option for non-Ukrainian manufacturers and formulators to appoint an Only Representative to handle Ukraine REACH obligations. This includes pre-registration, registration, and other requirements outlined in Ukraine REACH. It is advisable to begin the selection process for an Only Representative soon, as their appointment will be necessary for the pre-registration phase starting in six months.
