Regulator
Ministry of Industry and Trade (Minpromtorg) for registration; Rospotrebnadzor for notification and health/environmental safety assessment.
Legal basis
TR EAEU 041/2017 (Decision of the Council of the Eurasian Economic Commission No. 19 dated March 3, 2017) and Government Decree of the Russian Federation No. 1407 dated September 11, 2020.
Typical time
10 working days for notification-based registration; 15 working days for the decision on state registration (plus additional time for expert assessments and notification if applicable).
Corrections
The draft incorrectly identifies Rospotrebnadzor as the primary regulator for chemical products under TR EAEU 041/2017; the Ministry of Industry and Trade (Minpromtorg) is the authorized body for registration, while Rospotrebnadzor handles notification of new substances and health/environmental safety assessments. The draft's claim that TR EAEU 041/2017 is not yet fully in force is outdated, as it entered into force on June 2, 2021.
TR EAEU 041/2017 on the safety of chemical products entered into force on June 2, 2021.
“Установить, что технический регламент Союза "О безопасности химической продукции" (ТР ЕАЭС 041/2017) вступает в силу с 2 июня 2021 г.”

The Ministry of Industry and Trade (Minpromtorg) is the authorized body for the state registration of chemical products in Russia.
“Государственная регистрация химической продукции проводится Министерством промышленности и торговли Российской Федерации (далее - уполномоченный орган) на основании обращения заявителя.”
official www.consultant.ru
Rospotrebnadzor is responsible for the notification of new chemical substances and assessing their safety for human health and the environment.
“Определить Федеральную службу по надзору в сфере защиты прав потребителей и благополучия человека уполномоченным федеральным органом исполнительной власти, осуществляющим проведение нотификации новых химических веществ, а также проведение процедуры разрешительной государственной регистрации …”

The notification procedure for new chemical substances takes 5 working days from the receipt of documents by the notification body.
“Срок проведения нотификации новых химических веществ составляет 5 рабочих дней со дня поступления документов... в нотификационный орган.”
official www.consultant.ru
The decision on notification-based state registration is made within 10 working days from the receipt of documents.
“...осуществляются уполномоченным органом в течение 10 рабочих дней с даты поступления документов, указанных в пункте 54 настоящего технического регламента.”

Solutions on this route 15

D2Fermentation- and sugar-derived platform chemicals (lactic acid, succinic acid, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, bio-ethylene and bio-MEG) instead of the same building blocks made from oil and gas
D1Road and pavement de-icing with bio-based deicers (acetates from fermentation, agricultural by-product brines such as beet-molasses residues) and salt-reduction practices — instead of heavy use of chloride salts and chloride "reagent" mixtures
D1Household and institutional cleaning without triclosan, excess quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) and routine chlorine — plain soap, enzyme-based detergents and probiotic (Bacillus) cleaners
D1Bio-based and safer solvents — Cyrene (dihydrolevoglucosenone from cellulose), 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF from furfural/levulinic acid), ethyl lactate, bio-ethanol, γ-valerolactone, limonene — instead of NMP, DMF, DMAc, dichloromethane and other hazardous solvents
D2Industrial biocatalysis (enzymes and whole cells) — e.g. nitrile hydratase for acrylamide, engineered transaminase for sitagliptin, enzymatic antibiotic side-chain processes — instead of heavy-metal catalysts, high-pressure hydrogenation and multistep chemistry with toxic reagents
D2Biodegradable, bio-based lubricants and hydraulic fluids (vegetable-oil and synthetic esters) — instead of mineral-oil lubricants in forestry, agriculture, marine, rail and water-adjacent machinery
D1Pulp bleaching with xylanase enzyme pre-bleaching and ECF/TCF processes (oxygen, peroxide, ozone) — instead of elemental chlorine bleaching; with biological effluent treatment
D1Biosurfactants (rhamnolipids, sophorolipids) instead of petrochemical surfactants in cleaning and industrial formulation
D2Detergent enzymes for low-temperature washing instead of phosphates, extra surfactant and hot washing
D1Bio-based binders and bio-solvents instead of petrochemical resins and VOC solvent systems in paints and coatings
D1Paint and coating preservation with less isothiazolinone biocide — formulation hygiene, low-water-activity and bio-based boosters
D1Bio-based plasticizers — epoxidized soybean/linseed oil (ESBO), citrate esters (ATBC), isosorbide diesters, castor-oil derivatives — instead of ortho-phthalates (DEHP, DBP, BBP, DIBP) in PVC
D1Leather processing with enzymatic unhairing/bating and vegetable or other chromium-free tanning (mimosa, quebracho, chestnut, olive-leaf extract) — instead of sodium sulfide liming and chromium(III) tanning
D3Textile wet processing with enzymes — bio-scouring (pectinase), enzymatic desizing (amylase), cellulase "bio-stoning" and laccase denim bleaching, catalase peroxide removal — instead of caustic scouring, pumice stonewashing, potassium permanganate spraying and hypochlorite bleaching
D1Lower-toxicity textile dyeing and dye-effluent treatment with biological methods — bio-based indigo reduction and enzymatic indigo routes, microbial pigments, and biological decolorization of dye effluent — instead of sodium dithionite reduction, aniline-derived synthetic indigo and untreated/chemically treated dye effluent
