K-BPR: South Korea Urges Approval of Existing Active Substances

Enterprises handling Group B existing biocidal active substances are advised to submit dossiers in a timely manner since the corresponding deadline is approaching.

On March 10, 2023, South Korea’s Ministry of Environment (MoE) issued a notice to urge enterprises handling 'Group B existing biocidal active substances' to speed up dossier preparation and submission for approval under the Consumer Chemical Products and Biocides Safety Control Act (K-BPR). Under K-BPR, existing biocidal active substances are classified into four groups with the corresponding grace periods for approval depending on the product type. For Group B, the grace period for approval will expire on December 31, 2024.

Considering the fact that about 18 months will be taken for the administrative procedures of approval (including official review and technical evaluation after the dossier submission), by the notice, the MoE stipulates the corresponding deadlines for Group B active substances as below.

Pre-registration application submission deadline 2023.3.31
Plan report submission deadline 2023.6.30
Dossier submission deadline 2023.6.30
The authority also emphasizes that, after the abovementioned deadline for dossier submission expires, the online application platform will be closed immediately and the applications for approval of Group B active substances will no longer be accepted. [Read more at ChemLinked]
