Go to Glossary →Based on the EU REACH Regulation, KKDİK imposes a registration obligation on those who manufacture or import 1 tonne or more of a substance per year in Turkey. Registration is completed in tiers of 2026 / 2028 / 2030 depending on tonnage and hazard. Under the "no data, no market" principle, unregistered substances cannot be placed on the market. Evaluation, authorization and restriction mechanisms monitor the safe use of substances throughout their life cycle.
Our KKDİK service →The SEA Regulation, Turkey's counterpart to the EU CLP Regulation, requires substances and mixtures to be classified according to their physical, health and environmental hazards, labels to carry pictograms, signal words and H/P statements, and hazardous mixtures to be notified to UZEM. Classification directly affects the SDS, labelling, storage and the KKDİK timeline.
Our SEA service →Hazardous substances and mixtures must be supplied with an SDS in Turkish, structured in 16 sections and signed by a certified preparer. The SDS must be revised without delay upon classification changes, authorization/restriction decisions and format updates.
Our SDS service →Disinfectants, preservatives and pest control products must be authorized before being placed on the market. Products are divided into 22 product types (PT); the authorization dossier requires efficacy tests and a risk assessment.
Our Biocidal service →Based on the Rotterdam Convention, the PIC mechanism requires prior notification for the export of banned or severely restricted chemicals, and for some substances, the explicit consent of the importing country.
