The amendment was formally announced by the Director of the Chemical Safety Institute and takes effect through the publication of the updated hazard assessment results and accompanying documentation. The revision supports the continued implementation of South Korea's chemical registration and evaluation system by ensuring that hazard classifications and assessment outcomes remain current and scientifically accurate for regulatory decision-making and chemical substance management.
