[CHEMPNAVI]Guidelines for Applying for “Conditional Approval” of Government-Produced Hazard Review Data - Approval of Test Plan Items (30.MAY.2023)
The Korea Environmental Corporation (KECO) is conducting a support program for small-scale chemical industries in order to alleviate the financial burden of registration costs for existing chemicals. Under this program, KECO produces hazardous test data and provides them at a lower cost for the purpose of registration of such substances.
In December 2021, as the deadline for registration approached, our organization provided support for the prompt implementation of regulations in the chemical industry. We temporarily implemented the "Conditional Approval" system, which allowed for the provision of test data for both existing approvals and post-use payment. In 2022, we proceeded with the application for usage approval and collection of fees for 1,432 test data sets that were registered as government-owned properties.
Out of the current 1,528 test data sets eligible for conditional approval, an additional 31 test items that can be replaced by test plans have been registered as Government-owned properties. Therefore, we would like to inform the respective applicants, corresponding to each application number as listed in the attachment (Attachment 1), to review the enclosed documents. Please complete the application for test data usage approval through the Chemical Substance Information System by June 9, 2023.
※ The application for approval of test plan items should be carried out sequentially for each substance, considering the completion of all relevant tests for each test item.
