SEA Regulation Compliance Services

Compliance to Turkish SEA Regulation (O.G. - 28848 - 11 December 2013)

Turkish implementation of CLP has been published on the date 11th December 2013 on the Official Gazette with the number 28848 and came into force on the date of publication. 

Classification, Labelling and Packaging(Turkish CLP) for substances according to the regulation was obligatory from 1 June 2015 and Turkish CLP for mixtures was obligatory from 1 June 2016 onwards. Turkish CLP was updated and harmonized with the “European CLP” on 10th December, 2020.

Notification to Turkish C&L Inventory

Notification to the Turkish C&L inventory is another obligation to meet. 

For the hazardous or not substances that have been placed on the market for the first time, either on their own or in a mixture, the notification should be submitted within 30 days from the date of manufacture/import at the latest.

As defined in article 41 of the regulation, without any prejudice to the primary obligation belonging to the importer, chemical exporters to Turkey may cover the C&L notification obligation of their importers through their appointed Legal Representatives who are appointed by a Letter of Appointment. All notification procedures are carried out through an electronic portal. Notifications are made through the relevant module within the Integrated Environmental Information System, briefly called ECBS(Entegre Çevre Bilgi Sistemi).

This was intentionally added to the legal text by MoEU to prevent the CBI issues of Chemical industry who exports to Turkey.
