the first five years.
Hazard Classification
No toxicological data were submitted. The notified polymer meets the PLC criteria and can
therefore be assumed to be of low hazard.
Human Health Risk Assessment
When used in the proposed manner, the notified polymer is not considered to pose an
unreasonable risk to the health of workers and the public.
Environmental Risk Assessment
Based on the reported use pattern, the notified polymer is not considered to pose an
unreasonable risk to the environment.
Health and Safety Recommendations

No specific engineering controls, work practices or personal protective equipment are
required for the safe use of the notified polymer itself, however, these should be selected
on the basis of all ingredients in the formulation.
Guidance in selection of personal protective equipment can be obtained from Australian,
Australian/New Zealand or other approved standards.

A copy of the MSDS should be easily accessible to employees.

If products and mixtures containing the notified polymer are classified as hazardous to
health in accordance with the Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances
[NOHSC:1008(2004)], workplace practices and control procedures consistent with
provisions of State and Territory hazardous substances legislation must be in operation.
Disposal

The notified polymer should be disposed of to landfill.

Emergency Procedures

Spills and/or accidental release of the notified polymer should be handled by physical
containment, collection and subsequent safe disposal.
Secondary Notification
This risk assessment is based on the information available at the time of notification. The
Director may call for the reassessment of the polymer under secondary notification provisions
based on changes in certain circumstances. Under Section 64 of the Industrial Chemicals
(Notification and Assessment) Act (1989) the notifier, as well as any other importer or
manufacturer of the notified polymer, have post-assessment regulatory obligations to notify
NICNAS when any of these circumstances change. These obligations apply even when the
notified polymer is listed on the Australian Inventory of Chemical Substances (AICS).
Therefore, the Director of NICNAS must be notified in writing within 28 days by the notifier,
other importer or manufacturer:
(1)
Under Section 64(1) of the Act; if
 the notified polymer is introduced in a chemical form that does not meet the PLC
criteria.
or
(2)
Under Section 64(2) of the Act; if
 the function or use of the notified polymer has changed from detergent cleaning
products and liquid laundry detergents, or is likely to change significantly;
 the amount of notified polymer being introduced has increased, or is likely to
increase, significantly;
 the notified polymer has begun to be manufactured in Australia;
 additional information has become available to the person as to an adverse effect of
the notified polymer on occupational health and safety, public health, or the
environment.
The Director will then decide whether a reassessment (i.e. a secondary notification and
assessment) is required.
Material Safety Data Sheet
The MSDS of the notified polymer was provided by the applicant. The accuracy of the
information on the MSDS remains the responsibility of the applicant.
