What is CCA?
South Korea’s Chemicals Control Act (CCA) was enforced in 2015 to protect public health and prevent environmental harm caused by chemical substances by strengthening the criteria for the handling and management of chemicals, previously managed under the Toxic Chemicals Control Act (TCCA). REACH24H Consulting Group provides effective solutions to ensure clients’ corporate strategies fully comply and adapt to regulatory amendments and changes in regulations.
