Overview of Current Chemical Regulations in Russia and Future Expectations

Background

Due to delays in the entry into force of the Technical Regulations on Safety of Chemical Products (EAEU TR 041/2017), Russia plans to introduce a similar national technical regulation on the safety of chemical products. The new regulation will make GHS labelling and SDS mandatory in Russia and outline requirements for the notification of new substances and the registration of chemicals.

The Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade has announced an inventory procedure to update the national registry of chemical substances which will form the basis for a new technical regulation. Companies are encouraged to nominate their chemical substances (including components of mixtures) to the registry by January 20, 2025, to avoid stricter notification requirements for “new” substances in the future.

Certain types of chemical products must undergo conformity assessment procedures before being placed on the Russian market, a brief overview of the current compulsory requirements will be provided.
