Industrial Chemicals Act 2019

A person must give the Executive Director a report in accordance with subsection (2) if:

the person proposes to introduce an industrial chemical; and

the proposed introduction would be a reported introduction.

A reported introduction is only authorised under section 27 if the introduction is in accordance with the terms of the report. The terms of a report can be amended if necessary: see section 98.

The report must:

be in the approved form; and

contain the information prescribed by the rules for the purposes of this paragraph for the type of reported introduction; and

be accompanied by any fee prescribed by the rules for the purposes of this paragraph; and

be given to the Executive Director before the person first introduces the industrial chemical.

Without limiting paragraph (2)(b), the information prescribed may include (but is not limited to) the following:

the proper name for the industrial chemical;

the proposed end use for the industrial chemical;

information the person had regard to in determining that the proposed introduction would be a reported introduction.

Despite paragraph (2)(d), if the report relates to a type of reported introduction prescribed by the rules for the purposes of this subsection, then:

the information required to be contained in the report in accordance with subsection (2) that is prescribed by the rules for the purposes of this paragraph must be given to the Executive Director before the person first introduces the industrial chemical; and

all other information required to be contained in the report in accordance with subsection (2) must be given to the Executive Director within 12 months after the day the person first introduces the industrial chemical.

The Executive Director may publish information relating to reported introductions on the AICIS website if the information is of a kind prescribed by the rules for the purposes of this subsection.
