Argentina does not currently have a comprehensive National Chemical Inventory, however it maintain a National Chemical List of Prohibited and Restricted Chemicals (LNSPQ), which was established by Resolution 192/2019 and updated by Resolution 504/2022. 

A significant development in Argentina's chemicals regulatory framework is the draft National Law for Risk Management of Chemical Substances (Bill 4339-D-2019), which aims to establish a National Inventory of Chemical Substances (INSQ). This bill, which is currently awaiting approval in Congress, aims to harmonise the regulation of chemical substances at the national level by creating a comprehensive inventory and defining mechanisms for risk assessment and management. The bill includes specific exemptions, including radioactive substances, non-isolated intermediates and substances used in food and medicine. 

Argentina’s regulatory framework is also shaped by its obligations under international agreements such as the Basel, Rotterdam, Stockholm and Minamata Conventions. Despite its leadership in these areas, chemicals and waste management has often been fragmented across different agencies. The proposed National Law for Risk Management of Chemical Substances aims to address these issues by providing a unified approach to chemicals regulation in Argentina.
