The KKDIK Regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) is a critical framework designed to control the impact of chemicals on human health and the environment in Turkey. The 2023 amendments introduce significant updates and new obligations for manufacturers and importers.

1. What is KKDIK? Key Information and Objectives

KKDIK aligns with the EU REACH regulation, ensuring safe chemical use while promoting competition and innovation. It applies to manufacturers, importers, and users of chemicals in Turkey, aiming to minimize chemical risks to health and the environment.

2. Registration Process and Recent Updates

The 2023 amendments bring crucial updates to the registration deadlines:

• December 31, 2026: Deadline for substances produced or imported at 1,000 tons/year or more.

• December 31, 2028: Deadline for substances between 100-1,000 tons/year.

• December 31, 2030: Deadline for substances between 1-100 tons/year.

Additionally, from January 1, 2024, Safety Data Sheets (SDS) must comply with KKDIK and be prepared by certified Chemical Assessment Experts.

3. Ensuring Compliance with KKDIK: Tips and Recommendations

Early preparation, regular internal audits, and professional consultancy are vital for complying with KKDIK. Leveraging governmental training and guidance can also facilitate a smoother compliance process.
