KKDIK After 30 September: What Comes Next

Lulu

The 30 September 2026 KKDIK deadline has passed. Every registrable substance now needs a Provisional or Full Registration Number to stay on the Turkish market. The next key date is only eight weeks away: 31 December 2026, the first full registration deadline for high-tonnage and high-hazard substances.

In September, we covered the two KKDIK deadlines of 2026. This article picks up where that one ended: what happened at the September deadline, what is still open for 31 December, and how to see which of your substances are affected and what needs to happen next.

What Happened on 30 September

Türkiye's Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change (MoEUCC) received more than 42,000 KKDIK registration applications by the 30 September deadline (see summary by ChemRadar).

The focus now shifts to dossier evaluation, full registration, and enforcement. Three points matter most right now: 

  • Enforcement has started. Since 1 October, a substance needs a provisional or full registration number to be placed on the Turkish market. Pre-registration numbers alone are no longer enough.
  • Submitted, but no number yet. You can use the application number in the meantime. The administrative fee must be paid within 15 days of submission, or the evaluation won't start.
  • Hold off on tonnage updates. Companies that need to change tonnage band of a provisional registration should wait for a further announcement before making changes in KKS.

The Full Registration Deadlines Ahead

A Provisional Registration keeps you on the market for now, but it does not replace the full registration. . Each substance still needs a full registration dossier by the deadline for its tonnage band and hazard profile:

  • 31 December 2026: substances at ≥ 1,000 t/year, Aquatic Acute 1 or Aquatic Chronic 1 at ≥ 100 t/year, and CMR 1A/1B at ≥ 1 t/year
  • 31 December 2028: substances at 100 to 1,000 t/year
  • 31 December 2030: substances at 1 to 100 t/year

Extension for 31 December. Companies with a Provisional Registration can request up to two more years if the data for the full dossier cannot be ready on time. The Ministry has confirmed this, but the request channel in KKS is not open yet (see https://www.cirs-group.com/en/chemicals/turkey-kkdik-pre-registration-concludes-over-42000-dossiers-submitted-full-registration-phase-begins). The extension is not automatic, so plan as if the deadline holds, and watch the Ministry's announcements so you can apply as soon as the channel opens.

Your Next Steps Before 31 December

With eight weeks left, the most valuable thing you can do is get an honest picture of where each substance stands. Use this checklist:

  • Close the September gaps. List every substance without a registration number. KKS still accepts late provisional registrations, so submit any missing ones as soon as possible. For dossiers submitted but not yet registered, confirm the fee is paid and keep the application number on hand for your customers and customs.
  • Identify your 31 December substances. Filter your portfolio by tonnage band and hazard classification. These are the substances that need a full dossier this year.
  • Check data access for each one. Is the Lead Registrant's dossier submitted? Do you have your Letter of Access? Missing data access is the most common reason a full registration stalls. Visit LoA Market for Letters of Access.
  • Decide where you might need an extension. If a full dossier can't realistically be ready by 31 December, document why now. You will need this justification for the extension request, which is only possible with a Provisional Registration in place.
  • Assign an owner and a date to every open task. A deadline without a named owner is the one that gets missed.
  • Look ahead to 2028. Substances in the 100 to 1,000 t/year band have more time, but the data and cost-sharing work behind a full dossier takes months. Starting in 2027 is not early.

From KKDIK Overview to Next Steps With AI

These steps sound simple. In practice, the answers are spread across spreadsheets, email threads, and the heads of a few colleagues. Building one reliable overview can take days, and by the time it's done, it's out of date.

With opesus Registration Management, your registration data lives in one place: substances, legal entities, tonnage bands, deadlines, statuses, owners and notes. And because Registration Management connects to the AI agent your company already uses, you can simply ask it.

In this demo, our Product Manager Maria asks an AI agent which substances in her portfolio are affected by KKDIK. The agent pulls the answer straight from Registration Management, gives her a clear overview, and then creates the follow-up steps for her team.

 

Questions you might ask your own data:

  • "Which of our substances have a KKDIK full registration deadline on 31 December 2026?"
  • “Where are we still waiting for a Letter of Access?"
  • "Which open tasks have no owner yet?"

The 31 December deadline leaves little room for manual status checks. If you want to see how Registration Management and your AI agent handle your own KKDIK portfolio, we're happy to show you: Book your personal demo.
