Korea REACH

November 4, 2016 | Written by GreenSoft Technology, Inc.

New Restrictions Added to South Korea’s K-REACH Regulation

New Restrictions on NP and NPEs

k-reachOn September 30, 2016, South Korea's Ministry of the Environment issued an amendment to the K-REACH regulation. The amendment adds new restrictions on NP and NPEs.

Nonylphenol (NP) and Nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs) are commonly used in the production of plastics, detergents, paints, biocides, and cosmetics.

The restriction under K-REACH applies to the import, sale, storage, transport or use of such substances. K-REACH requires that the quantity of the substance shall not exceed 0.1% for products or components within.

The new substance restrictions, listed below, will be implemented on July 1, 2018.

  1. Nonylphenol (NP), CAS: 25154-52-3, 104-40-5, 84852-15-3, 139-84-4, 136-83-4, 90481-04-2 and 11066-49-2;
  2. Nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs), CAS: 9016-45-9, 27177-05- 5, 68412-54-4, 127087-87-0, 68412-53-3, 26027-38-3 and 37205-87-1;
  3. Nonylphenol or mixtures of nonylphenol ethoxylates greater than 0.1% by weight.
