Agency Regulations (KIFS)

The Swedish Chemical Agency's Regulations are published in the Code of Statutes of the Swedish Chemicals Agency (KIFS), and are available in Swedish only.

The Swedish Chemicals Agency has three basic regulations: KIFS 2017:7, KIFS 2017:8 and KIFS 2022:3. These are changed by amendments, which are listed under each regulation. Details about the amendments are available on the Swedish webpages. Many EU rules are also implemented in the regulations of the Agency and in regulations of other Swedish authorities.
