General information about the Eurasian inventory

A common Eurasian inventory for chemical substances and mixtures is expected to be formed as a part of the decision taken by the Eurasian Economic Union Comission (EAEU Comission) on the formation of the TR 041. 

There are two major steps that are outlined in the EAEU Comissions decision; 

1) Before 1st december 2018, the EAEU Comission and the member countries are expected to establish the order of formation of Eurasian inventory and the order of notiffication of new chemical substances.

• This step has not been fully fullfiled due to disagreements between the Union's member countries.

2)  All member countries of the Union are expected to form their national parts of  the inventory before 1st March 2021.

However, due to disagreements, only Russia has opened up for national inventory notification so far. For more information on the Russian inventory please see "The Russian inventory".

The dealine for nominations to the Russian inventory is 1st August 2020.

The Russian inventory

The Russian inventory of chemicals and mixtures has been established as a first step in the formation of a common Eurasian inventory (thus the Russian inventory is a part of the Eurasian Inventory!)

The main aim of the inventory is to aquire information about chemical products and mixtures that are currently in circulation on the Russian market.

The Russian inventory is currently open for nominations and the last date for the inventory nominations is 1st of August 2020,

• Nomination requires minimum information about chemical substances/mixtures.
• The nomination is free of charge.
• The inventory nomination is a volontary process - there is no requirement for every manufacturer/importer to nominate it's sustances.However, companies are very much encouraged to submit the substances to the inventory.
• When a chemical substance is nominated, it is listed as "existing" on the Russian market. When TR EAEU 041/2017 will enter into force, all other chemicals not presented in the inventory list will be considered “new” and therefore will fall under the notification procedure.

Exemptions from the Russian inventory

Please note! 

• Chemicals that are subject to another technical regulation are nominated voluntarily                                                                                       
• Information about polymers is submitted per monomer and all its additives in concentration more than 0.1% per mass.                                                         
• Information on substances with a complex and variable composition (which cannot be identified based on molecular and structural formulas) is presented for the chemical substance as a whole.

Excemptions:

Substances in pesticide formulations

Substances listed in Appendix 1: 

1. Chemical products intended for scientific research work.

   2. Minerals in a state of occurrence, as well as the following products, if they have not been chemically modified: minerals, ores, ore concentrates, cement clinker, natural gas, liquefied gas, gas condensate, process gas and its components, dehydrated, desalted and stabilized oil, associated petroleum gas, coal, coke.

   3. Medicines and veterinary medicines.

   4. Perfume and cosmetic products.

   5. Chemical products that are a source of ionizing radiation (including waste from such products), in terms of classification, labelling and communication of the dangers caused by the presence of radiation in it.

   6. Food products, including biologically active food additives and nutritional supplements, as well as ready-made feed for animals.

   7. Products included in manufactured articles that, being in circulation in the territory of the Russian Federation, do not change their chemical composition and aggregate state, are not susceptible to destruction and oxidation processes, do not generate dust, vapour or aerosols containing hazardous chemical substances having a harmful effect on human life and health, life and health of animals and plants, environment or property.  

   8. Wastes from the production and consumption of chemical products, if they are subject to utilization (processing).

   9. Chemical products subject under transit through the customs territory of the Eurasian Economic Union.
