Who Needs a KKDİK Only Representative?

  • Under KKDİK (Turkish REACH), all companies manufacturing or placing substances on the Turkish market in quantities ≥1 ton/year must register those substances with the Ministry of Environment (MoEU).
  • Non-Turkish companies cannot submit registrations directly. Instead, they appoint a KKDİK Only Representative (OR) based in Turkey.
  • By appointing an OR, a company’s importers are considered downstream users, and they are exempt from the obligation to register.

Role of a KKDİK Only Representative

A KKDİK Only Representative is a legal entity established in Turkey. It is appointed by a non-Turkish manufacturer, formulator, or producer to fulfill the obligations of importers.

  • The OR must have sufficient expertise in handling substances and relevant information to ensure compliance.
  • Unlike a Third-Party Representative, a KKDİK Only Representative does not disclose the identity of the non-Turkish manufacturer to other participants during data sharing.
  • The OR process under KKDİK mirrors that of EU REACH regulations.

Benefits of Appointing a KKDİK Only Representative

  1. Relieve Importer Obligations:
    • Importers are exempt from registration if a non-Turkish supplier appoints an OR.
  2. Ensure Market Access:
    • Avoid dependence on a single Turkish importer. Maintain market access even if one importer ceases operations.
  3. Competitive Advantage:
    • Gain a strategic edge over non-TR suppliers who fail to register substances.
  4. Confirmation of Compliance:
    • Importers can verify registration coverage via the KKDİK Certificate of Compliance and Tonnage Coverage Certificate from the OR.
