Russia: Implementation of TR EEU 041/2017 “On Safety of Chemical Products” Starts

The Technical Regulation of Eurasian Economic Union TR EEU 041/2017 “On Safety of Chemical Products” is not in force yet (planned entry into force 01.06.2021) but some member states are already well on the way to its implementation.

On November 11, the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade (the authority responsible for the implementation of the Technical Regulation on the national level in Russia) announced the start of the inventory building of chemical substances and mixtures. Note that Russia preferred to revoke its own national REACH legislation (Decree No.1019/2016) and focused on the implementation of the Technical Regulation of Eurasian Economic Union instead.

Manufactures and importers can now submit information on chemical substances and mixtures already placed on the market or planned for the introduction on the market in the Russian Federation to a database hosted on the website of the above indicated Ministry. The collected information will be included in the national part of the Register of Chemical Substances of Eurasian Economic Union. Substances and mixtures recorded in this register will not be considered as new substances and will be exempted from a complex notification procedure requiring the study of the hazardous properties of the substances and compilation of a chemical safety report.
