ICMSR: India’s Chemicals (Management And Safety) Rules.

India’s Chemicals (Management And Safety) Rules (ICMSR) also referred to as ‘India REACH’ will come into force on the date of their publication in the Official Gazette, expected mid-2021, and will regulate all substances, substances in mixtures, and intermediates that are manufactured, imported or placed on the market in the Indian territory at quantities greater than 1 tonne per year.

Regulatory compliance requirements will apply within 18 months of coming into force, and all Indian manufacturers and importers will need to comply. Non-Indian entities who wish to place their chemical products on the market in India will need to appoint an authorised representative (AR) located in India to act on their behalf (similar to EU REACH OR).
