Experts from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) working in Ukraine have developed the first version of the text of the National Regulations for the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals and Preparations for REACH and Classification, Labeling and packing of substances and mixtures Classification, Labeling and Packaging (CLP). The drafts of these regulations were presented and discussed at the international seminar in Kyiv on October 30-31. From the NFUU, the associate professor of the department of quality management Gubin Yu.I. participated in the discussion.
Successful implementation of these National Regulations will increase security in the production, use, storage and disposal of hazardous chemicals in Ukraine.
The development of the national regulations discussed was carried out within the framework of the project “Improvement of the national regulatory system in the field of chemical safety and security”. This project is led by the OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Ukraine to improve Ukrainian legislation to reduce the risks of potential harm to the health of workers, consumers and the environment, as well as to prevent unauthorized access to toxic substances, especially dual use.
The project was developed by the OSCE Conflict Prevention Center in co-operation with the OSCE Project Coordinator in Ukraine, in close cooperation with the state authorities of Ukraine, on the basis of the 2015 comprehensive review of the state of chemical safety in Ukraine, in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 1540 (2004). The Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine acts as a project partner in the development of technical regulations that were considered at the seminar.
The National Regulations will comply with international law, including Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals and Preparations (REACH) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP).
