In Israel the use of industrial chemicals is only partially regulated. It now wishes to close the gap with the other advanced countries when it comes to information about chemicals and risk prevention. A law is being developed which intends to:
- Establish a chemical inventory 
- Require performance of a risk assessment for selected chemicals
- Restrict the use of certain chemicals and/or exposure to them.

The proposal is now open for public consultation, see here.

Turkey’s equivalent to the EU’s REACH regulation, the KKDIK, entered into force late 2017. The pre-registration deadline under KKDIK was 31 December 2020, and the registration deadline is set for December 31, 2023, without consideration to the tonnage band. Companies that missed the pre-registration deadline for substances already on the Turkish market were required to stop manufacturing or importing those substances beginning January 1, 2021. A late pre-registration is still allowed until 31 December 2023 for substances manufactured in Turkey, or imported into the country for the first time by a company, at one metric ton or more. More than 22,000 substances have been pre-registered. See here and the ICTA substance regulation overview here.

The ADR intends to increase the safety of international transport of dangerous goods by road. It has been regularly amended and updated since its entry into force in 1968. The most recent version has been prepared on the basis of amendments applicable as from 1 January 2021. Until now, the formal title of ADR was the "European Agreement concerning the international carriage of dangerous goods by road (ADR)". In this new edition the word European is removed to acknowledge the global status of ADR and as an encouragement to all UN Member States to join and fully implement it. See here.
