What is KKDİK (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals)? What is CLP (Classification, Labeling and Packaging)?

KKDİK (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals)

KKDİK is the Turkish regulation that deals with the registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction of chemical substances. It is similar to the European Union's REACH regulation. The main goal of KKDİK is to ensure a high level of protection for human health and the environment by managing the risks associated with chemicals. It requires manufacturers and importers to gather information on the properties and uses of substances they produce or import, and to assess the risks associated with these substances. This information is then registered with the Turkish Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change2.

CLP (Classification, Labeling, and Packaging)

The CLP Regulation, or Classification, Labeling, and Packaging Regulation, is a European Union regulation that aligns the EU system of classification, labeling, and packaging of chemical substances and mixtures to the United Nations' Globally Harmonized System (GHS). The regulation is officially known as Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. The main objectives of the CLP Regulation are to ensure a high level of protection of human health and the environment, and to facilitate the free movement of substances, mixtures, and articles within the EU. It sets out detailed criteria for the classification of substances and mixtures, and for the labeling and packaging of hazardous chemicals
