On 23 December 2023, the long-awaited amendment to the KKDIK (Turkey REACH) Regulation was published. This article provides the key takeaways from the KKDIK Amendment.

Under KKDIK, SDSs written according to regulation 29204 will be valid until the date of 31st December 2023. After this date, it will be obligatory to write SDS in compliance with Regulation No 30105.

On 23rd December 2017, the KKDIK (Turkish REACH) 3 year pre-registration period will begin. Unlike EU REACH, this will not be followed by a phased tonnage and hazard-based registration period, but a single 3 year period in which all substances manufactured or imported in quantities above 1 tonne per annum will require registration.
