On December 23, 2023, Turkey officially announced to extend the KKDIK registration deadline of December 31, 2023, by up to seven years, between 2026 and 2030 depending on the tonnage band and the hazard classification. Earlier in November, a draft text proposed to gradually extend the KKDIK registration deadlines was submitted to the NGO.

On October 19, 2023, the initial planning regarding the KKDIK was initiated during the assessment meeting organized by the General Directorate of Environmental Management Chemicals Management Department within the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change. The draft text prepared in the weeks following the meeting was presented to NGOs. According to the draft submitted to NGOs by the Ministry on November 14, 2023, the KKDIK Regulation deadlines will be gradually extended depending on tonnage and classification.

KKDIK was published on June 23, 2017, by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization of the Turkish Republic and formally came into effect on December 23, 2017. The deadline for pre-registration is December 31, 2023, which means chemical products without a registration number cannot legally enter the Turkey market from January 1, 2024. Similar to EU REACH, Turkey will collect an administrative fee for KKDIK registration. The administrative fees vary based on the tonnage bands as well as the scale of enterprises.
