1. Help desk operation by MOE
 (Purpose) Consultation system for domestic and foreign industries to
support implementation of K-REACH
 (Online) Korean/English Homepage (www.chemnavi.or.kr) (2014.8)
 (Offline) Experts available for consultation with domestic and
overseas companies (2014.4)

2. Joint-Registration Pilot Project by MOE
 (Purpose) To identify potential operational problems of joint
registration system and develop industry support measures for
K-REACH settlement
 (Period) 2014.8~2015.7 (1 year)
 (Subject) 7 substances that are to be included in the 1st
priority list of existing chemicals subject to registration1
Chemical Substance (CAS No.)
Chemical Substance (CAS No.)

3. Establishment of Joint-registration
support system
 (Purpose) To identify potential registrants beforehand, and provide
support in preparing for joint registration (Similar to EU REACH의 SIEF)
 (Period) 2014.8~2014.12 (4 months)
 (User) Korean manufacturer/importer, Only Representative, owner
 (Content) Room per substance, group e-mail/SMS, data exchange
forum etc.

substance to know each
other)

4. Joint-registration Support by KCMA
 Installation of Joint-registration Center (K-REACH Center; KRC), support
in formation/operation of potential registrants consortium
- Potential registrants who wants jointly register needs to join KRC. Through
KRC-IT, potential registrants of same substance are identified and consortium
is formed.
- KRC will support joint registration through mutual cooperation and dividing
function among consulting agency and experts from relevant field (chemistry/
toxicity/ legal/ tax)
