South Korea publishes LOC template for compliance with the chemical substance confirmation system

On March 13, 2026, the Korea Environment Corporation (K-eco) published a reference template for a Letter of Confirmation (LOC), for the purpose of compliance with South Korea’s chemical substance confirmation system. This template reflects the amended Chemicals Control Act, which came into effect on August 7, 2025. The LOC serves as a document used to confirm whether chemical substances contained in a product are subject to regulatory controls.
