Several updates to the Australian Inventory of Industrial Chemicals

2023-09-18 Reference source : AICIS

During the months of August and September 2023, the Australian Industrial Chemistry Introductory Scheme (AICIS) has made several updates to the Australian Inventory of Industrial Chemicals (AIIC). The updates include adding new chemicals to the inventory, correcting chemical names and correction of chemical names, and changes to inventory entries following the withdrawal of Confidential Business Information (CBI) approval. Details of the updates are summarised below.

Chemicals added to the Inventory

On 12 September 2023 the AICIS announced that 4 substances had been added to the AIIC because 5 years have passed since the assessment certificates for the chemicals were issued. This is in accordance with Section 82 of the Industrial Chemicals Act 2019. Obligations to provide information about the new substances apply. The AICIS must be informed within 28 days if the circumstances of the introduction (importation or manufacture) differ from their assessment. The 4 substances are listed in the table below.

CAS no	Name	Listing Date
15454-75-8	Zinc, bis(5-oxo-L-prolinato-.kappa.N¹,.kappa.O²)-, (T-4)-	22 August 2023

Correction of chemical names

On 5 September 2023, the AICIS announced that the names of 10 chemicals in the AIIC have been updated to the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) name or the CAS name has been updated. The updates do not change the identity of the chemical substances themselves. These amendments were made in accordance with section 85 of the Industrial Chemicals Act 2019.
