The main objectives of K-REACH are to:

Ensure safe management of chemical substances
Identify and communicate chemical hazards
Evaluate potential risks associated with chemical substances
Promote transparency throughout the chemical supply chain

K-REACH regulates:

Chemical substance registration
Notification requirements
Hazard and risk assessment
Substance evaluation
Authorization and restrictions
Supply chain communication

K-REACH is implemented by:

Ministry of Environment (MoE)
National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER)
Performing scientific evaluation, hazard assessment and reviewing the relevant technical matters.
