Korea Existing Chemicals List(KECL)

There are over 40,000 substances on Korea Existing Chemicals List(KECL) and it consists of two lists:
1. Chemical substances which were distributed in South Korea for commercial purposes before February 2, 1991;
2. Chemical substances announced by the Minister of Environment because hazard reviews have been conducted pursuant to the former Toxic Chemicals Control Act after February 2, 1991.
You can click the following link offered by the National Chemicals Information System(NCIS) and input the English name or CAS no. of your substances. If your substance is an existing chemical substance in Korea, you can usually find its KE number.
New substances require registration under K-REACH prior to its manufacture or importation. Designated existing substances also require registration.
