Different types of substances in Korea

 MOE and MOEL have different types of substances. Today we have arranged the types of substances of both institutions.

  In Korea, the two institutions, MOE and MOEL, each divide registered substances into several types through hazard and risk assessment. MOE divides the substances into four types: Toxic chemicals, Observational chemicals, Restricted or Prohibited chemicals, and Chemicals requiring preparation for accidents. MOEL divides them into three types: Administration subject listed substances, Authorization subject listed substances, and Prohibition listed substances. If your substance belongs to the aforementioned types, they will be regulated, and required to go through procedures for reporting (or permission).

 An important issue when proceeding with polymer exemption notification is to check the types of monomers. If your new polymer chemical belongs to Toxic chemicals, you have to proceed with polymer notification under TCCA. If your new polymer chemical belongs to Administration subject listed substances, Authorization subject listed substances, and Prohibition listed substances, you have to proceed with polymer notification under OSHA.
