KKDİK and SEA Regulations Set for Major Overhaul: Aligning with EU REACH 2.0 and CLP Updates


Turkey's key regulations for chemical management, the Regulation on Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (KKDİK) and the Regulation on Classification, Labelling and Packaging (SEA), are poised for a significant transformation. As national implementations of the European Union's REACH and CLP regulations, they are expected to undergo extensive revisions to align with the upcoming EU REACH 2.0 and CLP updates anticipated in July 2025.


Expected Impacts of REACH 2.0 and CLP Revisions on KKDİK and SEA


KKDİK:


* Expanded Scope: In line with REACH 2.0, the scope of KKDİK is expected to broaden, encompassing polymers, nanomaterials, and certain articles that were previously excluded from registration.


* Enhanced Transparency: Stricter provisions on data sharing and transparency regarding chemical substances are anticipated, aiming to provide the public with greater access to information on potential risks.


* Updated Authorization and Restriction Procedures: Authorization and restriction procedures for hazardous chemicals are expected to be updated to ensure more effective control of risks to human health and the environment.


* Strengthened Enforcement: Enforcement mechanisms are likely to be reinforced, with stricter penalties for non-compliance with KKDİK provisions.


SEA:


* Harmonization with EU CLP: SEA is expected to be revised to fully harmonize with the updated EU CLP Regulation, adopting the latest criteria for classification, labelling, and packaging of chemicals. This will ensure accurate hazard communication and better inform users.


* New Hazard Classes: The introduction of new hazard classes and updates to existing classifications are also anticipated.


* Digital Labelling: Provisions promoting the availability of chemical information in digital formats are expected to be introduced.


Sectoral Impacts and Preparedness


These changes to KKDİK and SEA will impact all sectors involved in any stage of the life cycle of chemical substances. Businesses operating in various sectors, including the chemical industry, plastics, textiles, paints, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, and cleaning products, need to proactively prepare for these regulatory updates.


Companies are advised to closely monitor developments related to EU REACH 2.0 and CLP revisions, seek expert guidance on chemical regulations, review their internal processes, and provide comprehensive training to their employees.
