According to the K-REACH database, there are currently no substances that have been added to the Authorisation List under K-REACH. 

However, dibutyl phthalate (DBP; CAS No. 84-74-2), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP; CAS No. 85-68-7), and di-(2-ethyl hexyl) phthalate (DEHP; CAS No. 117-81-7) have been proposed as the first three substances subject to authorization under K-REACH. These are phthalates that are classified as toxic to reproduction and are widely used as plasticizers in various products.  

The Ministry of Environment (MoE) invited stakeholders to submit their comments or information on these chemicals from October 6, 2023, to December 4, 2023. If adopted, the authorization requirement will apply to the manufacture, import, or use of these substances in South Korea, even if they have already completed registrations. This means that companies will need to obtain authorization from the MoE before using these substances or switch to safer alternatives.
