The document contains information about chemical industry shipment amounts in Korea in 2013. It also provides an overview of the chemical registration process in Korea, including reporting amounts and timelines, hazard examination, and dossier requirements that depend on shipment tonnage. There are charts showing registration criteria, required test data, and a data trading scheme for joint registration support.
