of framework provisions of the Law of Ukraine "On Ensur ing Chemical Safety, Security 
and Management of Chemical Products" to ensure a high level of protection of human 
health and the environment, free circulation of chemical products on internal market, 
promotion of the use of alternative methods for assessmen t of hazards of chemical 
products and promotion innovations with a simultaneous increase in competitiveness, 
definition of basic requirements for ensuring chemical safety during the manufacture, 
placing on the market and use of chemical products by busines s entities.  
The introduced provisions establish the procedures for:  
- state registration of chemical substances before placing on the market according to 
which entities shall assess intrinsic hazardous properties of substances by testing and 
carrying out c hemical safety assessment (10 t/y and more) using risk -oriented approach;  
- data sharing with the aim of avoidance of unnecessary testing by entities in course of 
state registration of substances which shall be only common for identical substances;  
- deep evaluation of chemicals by authorized central executive authority;  G/TBT/N/UKR/179/Rev.1

Protection of the environment; Harmonization   
8. Relevant documents:  Laws of Ukraine "On Ensuring Chemical Safety, Security and
