We are at your service as QIS in KKDIK consultancy services, which takes its name from the Turkish initials of Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals. With the entry into force of the relevant regulation after its publication in 2017, KKDIK aims to protect human health and the environment. In addition to encouraging companies to explore alternative methods to reduce the damage of harmful substances, the regulation also aims to boost competition and innovation by setting out the technical and administrative principles of chemical registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction.

KKDIK covers the supply of chemical substances to the sector, their presence in manufacturing processes and mixtures, their impact on products, and their overall presence in the market. As the chemical sector in our country grows and evolves with innovation, KKDIK helps clarify the potential harm of substances and encourages the replacement of outdated animal testing methods with new, more ethical approaches. Under this regulation, any chemical substance not registered or covered by KKDIK cannot be placed on the market.

Within the scope of the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals, permits are required for the quantity of chemical substances to be produced. Once substances are registered under KKDIK, the necessary permissions for production and import are obtained. Chemical substances are of critical importance; before being introduced to the market, they are examined for potential harm. Hazardous chemicals must be detailed in the safety data sheets according to the applicable legislation.

Resident importers operating in Türkiye are obligated to fulfill the requirements of Turkish REACH (KKDIK). All chemicals are monitored under KKDIK, and any company manufacturing or importing 1 ton or more of chemical substances annually must complete chemical registration. As QIS, we have been offering KKDIK consultancy services for many years with our team of expert consultants and trainers. Our knowledgeable consultants are fully familiar with each stage of chemical registration and keep up with current legislation. You can call us using the contact details on our website for immediate information or a quote regarding KKDIK consultancy and chemical registration.

Purposes of the KKDIK Regulation

• To provide a high level of protection for human health from chemical risks.
• To provide a high level of environmental protection from the damage of chemicals.

During the registration, evaluation, and authorization stages, QIS reviews all client requests, conducts product and substance analyses, and provides tailored solutions to ensure successful KKDIK certification for your company.
