What is Ukraine REACH registration?
Ukraine REACH registration is a regulatory obligation for companies that manufacture, import, or place on the market chemical substances—either on their own, in mixtures or in articles—in quantities of 1 tonne or more per year in Ukraine. According to the Ukraine REACH Regulation, such substances must be registered with the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine (MEPR). In line with this, a pre-registration process must also be completed.
Chemleg consultancy services ensure a smooth and compliant registration process for your business.
Ukraine REACH Registration Process
The Ukraine REACH registration process consists of two phases, similar to the EU REACH process: pre-registration and registration.
Pre-registration:
According to the UA REACH Regulation, substances that are already on the Ukrainian market must be pre-registered by January 26, 2026. Substances to be placed on the market after this date must be pre-registered within six months from the date of first placement on the market.
Registration:
After pre-registration, substances must be registered based on their tonnage bands and hazard profile. The deadlines for these registrations are as follows:
Ukraine REACH Deadlines

Frequently Asked Questions
When did the Ukraine REACH registration process begin?
The Ukraine REACH pre-registration period started on January 26, 2025 and will continue until January 26, 2026.
What is the difference between pre-registration and full registration?
Ukraine REACH pre-registration is the initial step that gives companies additional time before submitting the full registration. The full registration requires a comprehensive technical dossier and more detailed data.
I already have an EU REACH registration. Do I still need to register under UA REACH?
Yes. Ukraine REACH is a separate legal framework. Even if you have an EU REACH registration, a separate registration must be completed in Ukraine. However, substances already registered under EU REACH may follow a simplified registration process in Ukraine.
