FINAL REMINDER - REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ON COSMETIC
INGREDIENTS
This notice is to remind all persons and companies involved in manufacture, importation or
trade of cosmetics that NICNAS is seeking information on certain chemicals that may be
ingredients in products that were previously regulated by the Therapeutic Goods
Administration (TGA), and are currently regulated as cosmetics by NICNAS. The aim is to
identify those chemicals that meet the criteria for recognition as cosmetic (industrial)
chemicals and may be eligible for listing on the Australian Inventory of Chemical Substances
(AICS).
NICNAS is seeking information on specific chemicals regarding chemical identity,
Australian Approved Names, or evidence that chemicals were ingredients in certain TGAexempt products.
The information is to be provided by 7th March 2011.
For full details, please refer to the original notice in the December 2010 Chemical Gazette.
If you have any queries, or would like to provide information, please send to:
Dr Matthew Gredley by phone: (02) 8577 8873, fax: (02) 8577 8888

NICNAS NOTIFIERS UPDATE
The staff of the New Chemicals Program are seeking expressions of interest in a Notifiers
Update in Melbourne in May, 2011, coinciding with the planned NICNAS Training and
Awareness Outreach Sessions. A similar update was held in Sydney in November, 2010.
This free information session is intended to provide notifiers with an update on the latest
activities and initiatives within the New Chemicals Program. It is also an opportunity for
notifiers to meet with NICNAS assessors and to ask questions on new chemicals notification
matters.
Venue/Date/Time: to be determined once NICNAS has been advised of numbers for this
information session (likely date is Friday 6th May, 2010)
Duration: approximately 1.5 hours
Cost: Free
The topics that are intended to be covered on this day include:
1. How to submit new applications under the cooperative arrangements with the USA and
Canada.
2. How the Low Volume Chemical (LVC)-1000 and LVC100 permit categories work.
3. The differences between free Early Introduction Permits (EIP) and other EIP types.
4. Submission tips.
If you are interested in attending the Notifiers Update, please contact Jacki Kitching on 02
8577 8832 or e-mail new.chems.enquiries@nicnas.gov.au or jacki.kitching@nicnas.gov.au.

Employers should implement the following engineering controls to minimise
occupational exposure to the notified chemical as introduced (>90%) and when
handling the end-use products (≤50%):
 Automated processes, where possible

Employers should implement the following safe work practices to minimise
occupational exposure during handling of the notified chemical as introduced (>90%)
and when handling the end-use products (≤50%):
 Avoid contact with skin and eyes
 Avoid spills and splashing during use
 Prevent leaks and spills
 A shower and eyewash station should be available

RCP20280
Summary Report
Reference No: PLC/953
Dupont (Australia) Ltd (ABN 59 000 716 469) of 7 Eden Park Drive, Macquarie Park NSW
2113 has submitted a polymer of low concern (PLC) notification statement in support of their
application for an assessment certificate for RCP20280. The notified polymer is intended to
be used as a surface coating in the aviation industry. Up to 10 tonnes of the notified polymer
will be imported per annum for each of the first five years.
Hazard Classification
No toxicological data were submitted. The notified polymer meets the PLC criteria and can
therefore be considered to be of low hazard.
Human Health Risk Assessment
Under the conditions of the occupational settings described, the notified polymer is not
considered to pose an unacceptable risk to the health of workers.
When used in the proposed manner, the notified polymer is not considered to pose an
unacceptable risk to public health.
Environmental Risk Assessment
Based on the reported use pattern, the notified polymer is not expected to pose a risk to the
environment.
Recommendations
Control Measures
Occupational Health and Safety

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.

Spray application should be carried out in accordance with the Safe Work Australia
National Guidance Material for Spray Painting [NOHSC (1999)].

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 or accidental release of the notified polymer should be handled by physical
containment, collection and subsequent safe disposal.
Regulatory Obligations
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:
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
Under Section 64(2) of the Act; if
 the function or use of the notified polymer has changed from a surface coating in
the aviation industry, 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 chemical 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.
