Description of content: The draft Resolution has been developed with a view to establishing the Procedure for the state registration of chemical substances.

The Procedure sets out the rules for mandatory state registration of chemical substances, including those contained in other chemical products, which are manufactured, imported or placed on the market of Ukraine, and which have undergone identification in accordance with the Law of Ukraine "On Ensuring Chemical Safety and Management of Chemical Products" (notified in document G/TBT/N/UKR/176/Add.3).

The document establishes the conditions for registration, including a threshold of one tonne per year, and specifies the methodology for calculating the quantity of a substance. It also provides exemptions from registration, in particular for substances already registered by an upstream supplier, active substances used in plant protection products and biocides, and other substances falling outside the scope of the Technical Regulation on Safety of Chemical Products (notified in document G/TBT/N/UKR/179/Rev.2/Add.1).

The Procedure contains provisions on submitting a registration application, including the required information and documentation, which may be provided in paper or electronic form. It also sets out requirements for updating registration information and allows for the appointment of an authorized representative in Ukraine to act on behalf of the applicant for registration and data exchange purposes.

The Procedure defines the process for examination of applications, timelines for decision-making, grounds for refusal of registration and provides that registration decisions are of unlimited duration. It also provides for the recording of relevant information in the State Register of Chemical Substances and the payment of applicable registration fees.

In addition, the Procedure includes specific provisions for certain categories of substances, including monomers and substances in polymers, substances in articles, substances registered in the European Union and isolated on-site and transported intermediates.
