What are the obligations of companies based outside Turkey under the KKDIK Regulation?

These companies are not directly liable under the KKDIK Regulation. However, they may appoint an Only Representative, who is a natural or legal person established in Turkey, to fulfill the obligations of their importers. In the event that an Only Representative is not appointed, the registration of the substance must be carried out by the importing companies.

Who can appoint an Only Representative under the KKDIK Regulation?

Manufacturers, mixture or article producers, and formulator companies outside Turkey can appoint an Only Representative.

Companies that only buy and sell or act as sales agents (traders) cannot appoint an Only Representative.

Who is the registrant under the KKDIK Regulation in multinational companies or companies with branches as part of a holding company?

Institutions must confirm that they are the ‘registrant’ as defined in Article 4(ü) of the KKDIK Regulation.

Organizations may open “branches” that are separate from the company headquarters or head office and do not have legal personality. In such cases, the company headquarters established in Turkey, which has legal personality and must comply with the provisions of KKDİK, is responsible. Branches do not register.

Companies affiliated with the main headquarters may be the “registrant” under KKDİK if they have separate legal personality from the parent company.
