This is the main document which regulates the circulation
of chemicals in Russia and the EAEU

This is the main document which regulates the circulation
of chemicals in Russia and the EAEU

The TR EAEU 041/2017 will be implemented in 3 main stages:

Inventorying -

The procedure of collecting information on chemical substance which are used in chemical products and adding that information to the Register of chemical substances

Chemicals can contain only “existing” substances (i.e., chemical substances which are included into the Register)

  • November 2019

  • August 2020

  • Spring 2021*

    *According to the original timeline of implementing the TR. No information on actual terms is available yet
  • June 2, 2023*

    *According to the original timeline of implementing the TR. No information on actual terms is available yet
  • Main stage of inventorying (finished)
  • Data processing by the authorized body
  • Providing missing data

Authorities recommend checking the substances which are present in your chemicals in the EAEU Register upon its publishing

Forming the Register -

State registration of chemicals is based on the Register of chemical substances and mixtures of the EAEU – the main list of chemical substances. The Register is primarily formed through consolidation of the EAEU member countries’ national Registers

Authorities recommend checking the substances which are present in your chemicals in the EAEU Register upon its publishing

/ 02

Registration timelines depend on the type of chemical (whether it is a substance or a mixture) and its annual tonnage released into the market

Type

SUBSTANCE

(a component in concentration of 80% wt. or above is present)

MIXTURE

(two and more substances which do not react with each other)

*This information is preliminary – the documents which regulate the procedure of registration are not approved yet

Tonnage

SUBSTANCE

  • 2.06.2021
  • 2.06.2021
  • 2.06.2021
  • 2.06.2021
  • >1000 tons/year
  • 100-1000 tons/year
  • 10-100 tons/year
  • <10 tons/year

MIXTURE

  • 2.06.2027
  • 2.06.2029
  • 2.06.2031
  • 2.06.2033

The rule of “delayed enactment” applies: ~3 years since the beginning of registration

(for example, the window for registering substances marketed in amounts of 10-100 tons/year is 2.06.2025 - 2.06.2028)
