Ukraine REACH Only Representative/ Authorised Representative

We offer UA Only Representative/ Authorised Representative in Ukraine.

Ukraine-REACH came into force on 26 January 2025. Since this date, companies have been obliged to register chemical substances that are manufactured, imported or made available on the Ukrainian market in quantities of more than one tonne per year.
For CMR substances (category 1A and 1B) from ≥ 1 t/a and substances that are very toxic to aquatic organisms (acute or chronic) from ≥ 100 t/a, a one-year transitional period applies if they were placed on the Ukrainian market before the entry into force of UA-REACH on 26 January 2025. In practice, this means that these substances must be fully registered by 26 January 2026 at the latest. This falls one month before the originally planned publication date of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine (MEPR) for the pre-registration inventory and pre-SIEF communication.
This requirement goes beyond the previous implementation of EU REACH and was not explicitly addressed during the public consultation in spring 2024.

Current registration deadlines under UA-REACH:

Currently, UA-REACH contains four different registration deadlines under the current regulation:

• 26 January 2026: For CMR substances (category 1A and 1B) from ≥ 1 t/a and substances that are very toxic to aquatic organisms (acute or chronic) from ≥ 100 t/a.
• 1 October 2026: For substances from ≥ 1,000 t/a.
• 1 June 2028: For substances between 100 and 1,000 t/a.
• 1 March 2030: For substances between 1 and 100 t/a.
