At a recent meeting in Istanbul, professionals and senior officials from Turkish ministries, ECHA, Cefic, and the UK's Chemical Industries Association (CIA) gathered to discuss the current status of KKDIK registrations in Türkiye.

 

Cefic presented their recommendations during the meeting, which was supported by the Turkish Chemical Manufacturers Association (TKSD). This meeting generated the highest level of stakeholder engagement compared to any other KKDIK gathering.

 

According to the latest official figures, there has been a three-fold increase in chemical registrations under Turkish legislation since the October meeting, with thousands of registrations still pending.

 

The deadline for KKDIK registration, 31 December 2023, is approaching. Therefore, we suggest that companies need to complete the registration process earliest.
