The draft Law aims to improve the regulatory framework for chemical safety and chemicals management in Ukraine and to align it with relevant international and European Union requirements. It introduces amendments to the legislation on chemical safety and chemicals management following Ukraine’s accession to the Minamata Convention on Mercury and to implement relevant provisions of Regulation (EU) 2017/852 on mercury, Regulation (EU) 2024/1849, Regulation (EU) 2024/2865 amending Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP), and Regulation (EU) No 649/2012 concerning the export and import of hazardous chemicals. The draft Law introduces and updates requirements concerning the management, use, import and export of hazardous chemicals, mercury and mercury-containing products, as well as the classification, labelling and packaging of hazardous substances and mixtures. It also provides for amendments to relevant administrative and insurance requirements applicable to activities involving chemical products. The proposed amendments are intended to strengthen the protection of human health and the environment from risks associated with hazardous chemicals and mercury and to establish a coherent and up-to-date regulatory framework for chemical safety and chemicals management.
