REMINDER ABOUT PUBLIC CONSULTATION ON IMPROVING
ACCESS TO INFORMATION TO SUPPORT INTRODUCERS OF NICNAS
ASSESSED CHEMICALS TO NOTIFY THE DIRECTOR OF CHANGED
CIRCUMSTANCES – CLOSING 29 FEBRUARY 2012
Purpose
To remind stakeholders that NICNAS is seeking public comment on a proposal to
provide introducers of NICNAS assessed chemicals with improved access to information
that will help fulfill obligations to notify the Director of NICNAS when a significant
change in circumstances occurs relative to the original assessment. The initial
announcement of the public consultation was in the Chemical Gazette of 1 November
2011. Stakeholders are reminded that comments should be submitted by 29 February
2012.
Background
The Industrial Chemicals (Notification and Assessment Act) 1989 (the Act) specifies
circumstances in which secondary notification of a previously assessed chemical may be
required. However, a high proportion of assessment reports for new chemicals published
on the NICNAS web site do not contain the identity of the assessed chemical. For
chemicals where the record on the Australian Inventory of Chemical Substances (AICS)
contains the chemical name and number and indicates that the chemical has been
assessed, it is often difficult to know the circumstances of that assessment. Therefore, it is
difficult for introducers of previously assessed chemicals to fulfill their obligations under
the Act.
Proposal
NICNAS is proposing to provide information on the AICS records of previously assessed
chemicals to aid potential introducers in fulfilling their obligations under the Act by
improving access to information about the original chemical assessment with regard to
secondary notification. This public consultation document is published on the
consultation section of the NICNAS website at
http://www.nicnas.gov.au/Consultations.asp and on the Australian Government Business
website at https://consultation.business.gov.au/consultation.
The NICNAS web page provides more information on the submission process.

NOTICE REGARDING PROPOSED MINOR AMENDMENT TO
TRANSHIPMENT EXEMPTION PROVISION UNDER THE INDUSTRIAL
CHEMICALS (NOTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT) ACT 1989
Purpose
NICNAS seeks views by COB Friday 2 March 2012 on a proposed amendment to the
wording of the transhipment exemption provision (Sn 21(6)(b)) of the Industrial
Chemicals (Notification and Assessment) Act 1989 (the Act) to better reflect transhipment
of industrial chemicals through Australia.
Background
Section 21 of the Act provides for a number of exemptions to the requirement for the
notification and assessment of new industrial chemicals, that is, chemicals not already
listed on the Australian Inventory of Chemical Substances. One of these exemptions
addresses new chemicals that will be transported to a third country via Australia, but will
not be used or released in Australia.
This transhipment exemption was introduced into the Act in 2004 on the basis of a
recommendation arising from consultations on the NICNAS Low Regulatory Concern
Chemicals (LRCC) Initiative in 2003. The relevant recommendation was to “introduce a
Transhipment Exemption for instances when chemicals are offloaded at an Australian
port of entry and remain in containment unopened for a short period (30 days) before
reshipment out of Australia.”
The legislative provision at Sn21(6)(b) was drafted to state that the chemical “remains
subject to the control of Customs … at the port or airport [of introduction] at all times
before leaving Australia”(see Table 1 for a full reproduction of Sn 21(6)(b)).
A further consultation as part of a 2009 evaluation of the impact of the implementation
of recommendations from the 2004 LRCC Initiative lead to the proposal that the
transhipment exemption “be extended to include custom-bonded warehouses”. The
rationale was that the transhipment exemption has extremely low uptake by industry and
that “larger companies who have need of such an exemption often prefer to keep goods in
their own custom-bonded warehouses”.
Proposal
To address the proposal from the 2009 evaluation, NICNAS proposes to remove a
reference in Sn21(6)(b)(ii) to “at the port or airport” in regard to where the chemicals
must be sited when remaining under the control of Customs (see Table 2 for the full,
amended provision),. This amendment is intended to provide an exemption to the
notification and assessment of a new chemical when the chemical remains under Customs
control in a slightly broader range of situations.

NOTICE OF PROPOSED TRANSFER TO THE AUSTRALIAN
INVENTORY OF CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES OF CERTAIN COSMETIC
INGREDIENTS IN PRODUCTS PREVIOUSLY REGULATED BY THE
THERAPEUTIC GOODS ADMINISTRATION
In accordance with sections 15AA(1) and 15AA(2) of the Industrial Chemicals
(Notification and Assessment) Act 1989 (the Act) the Director proposes to include the
chemicals listed in Table 1 in the public section of the Australian Inventory of Chemical
Substances (AICS) for cosmetic use only, along with certain conditions of use. These
chemicals are currently regulated by NICNAS as new chemicals. Comments on this
proposal should be made by close of business (5.30 pm) 6 March 2012.
Background
The regulatory responsibility for chemicals in certain cosmetic products that were
previously regulated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) was transferred to
NICNAS under the cosmetic reforms in 2007. As a result of the transfer, those chemicals
not already on the AICS were recognised as new industrial chemicals and therefore
required notification and assessment as new chemicals before being imported or
manufactured, and/or are subject to post market reporting.
The intent of the cosmetic reform was that the transfer of responsibility would occur
whilst maintaining health and safety standards and without posing unnecessary burden on
industry. Therefore, it was envisioned that those chemicals not already on the AICS
would be recognised as existing industrial chemicals by listing them on the public AICS
subject to controls that are not less stringent than those previously required by the TGA.
A mechanism to list certain chemicals on the public section of the AICS that were
previously regulated by another Commonwealth regulator came into force on 27
September 2011. This occurred following modification of the Act by the Industrial
Chemicals (Notification and Assessment) Amendment (Inventory) Bill 2011. NICNAS
published a notice in the October 2011 Chemical Gazette detailing the resulting changes
to the Act and how NICNAS will be implementing those changes.
Requirements for proposing to list chemicals on the AICS
In order to be considered by the Director, NICNAS for possible transfer onto the AICS
under the cosmetic reforms, chemicals need to meet two sets of criteria.
The first set of criteria is legislated under Section 15AA of the Act, and applies to any
group of chemicals proposed by the Director, NICNAS for listing on the AICS as a result
of regulatory reform. These criteria are:



the chemical was previously regulated by another Commonwealth regulator, or
was in a product regulated by another Commonwealth regulator; and
there is no NICNAS assessment certificate in force for the chemical; and
the chemical is currently in use in Australia.
Chemical Gazette
Commonwealth of Australia Gazette
No. C 02, 07 February 2012
12
In addition, consideration must be given as to whether the chemical poses an
unreasonable risk to occupational health and safety, public health or the environment.
The second set of criteria is specific to the particular circumstances of the cosmetic
reforms. These criteria are:
 the chemical was an ingredient in at least one of the products that were regulated
under TGA; and
 the product(s) meets the definition of a cosmetic under the Act and any
requirements in the Cosmetic Standard 2007; and
 the product(s) was in commerce at some time during the three-year period
preceding the cosmetic reforms, that is, September 2004 to September 2007; and
 the chemical is not currently listed on the AICS.
NICNAS has been actively considering 62 chemicals or substances for possible listing on
the AICS. Previously 61 chemicals were under consideration but one chemical, which
was notified for assessment, has been added to the list as the notifier indicated an
intention to withdraw the notification pending the outcome of the listing process.
In the Chemical Gazette of 1 November 2011, the Director, NICNAS, proposed the
listing of an initial group of 34 chemicals for use in cosmetic products together with
proposed controls.
Three chemicals are still being considered and advice will be provided shortly.
This notice proposes the listing of a further group of 25 chemicals for use in cosmetic
products and in accordance with the proposed conditions of use.
Proposal
In accordance with sections 15AA(1) and 15AA(2) of the Act, the Director proposes to
include the 25 chemicals and associated conditions of use listed in Table 1 in the public
section of the AICS for cosmetic use only, or a subset of cosmetic products.
Section 15AA(5)(e) requires the Director, NICNAS, to state the reasons why these
chemicals are proposed for listing on the AICS. These reasons are:



listing these chemicals on the AICS fulfils the intent of the cosmetic reforms to
recognise certain chemicals in cosmetic products previously regulated by the
TGA as industrial chemicals whilst maintaining health and safety standards and
without posing unnecessary burden on industry;
the chemicals fulfil the eligibility criteria specific to the cosmetics reforms and
legislated criteria for listing as described in Section 15AA(1);
although these chemicals have not been subject to a full assessment by NICNAS,
the Director considers that, when used in cosmetic products only and in
accordance with the proposed conditions of use, these chemicals do not pose an
Chemical Gazette
Commonwealth of Australia Gazette
No. C 02, 07 February 2012
13
unreasonable risk to occupational health and safety, public health and the
environment.
In determining that these chemicals pose no unreasonable risk when used within the
proposed conditions of use, the Director noted that some of the chemicals possessed
certain properties that may pose a risk to human health and/or the environment when used
outside of the proposed conditions of use. The chemicals in Table 1 can be considered in
4 groups:




Group 1: 14 chemicals for which existing TGA controls are adequate when
applied to any cosmetic product.
Group 2: 6 chemicals which may pose an unreasonable risk to the
environment only. The additional control specified is to restrict these
chemicals to the product class in which they were nominated so that the risk is
mitigated to being reasonable. In all cases this is a secondary sunscreen with
an SPF up to 15.
Group 3: 4 chemicals which may pose an unreasonable risk to both health and
the environment. The additional condition of use specified is to restrict these
chemicals to the product class in which they were nominated. In all cases this
is a secondary sunscreen with an SPF up to 15.
Group 4: 1 chemical which may pose an unreasonable risk to health. The
additional control is to restrict the concentration in any cosmetic product to
5%.
This notice is published in the Chemical Gazette in accordance with section 15AA(4) of
the Act.
Statements about the Proposal
For any of the chemicals listed in Table 1, in accordance with section 15AA(5)(g) of the
Act, a person may give a statement to the Director, within 28 days of the date of
publication of this notice, giving reasons why the person objects to the Director’s
proposal.
Persons who wish to make a statement in relation to this proposal should do so in writing
by close of business (5.30pm) Tuesday 6 March 20121. The statement should address
specific chemicals (ie not be a generic statement) and provide relevant argument relating
to the stated reasons given in this notice as to why the Director, NICNAS, is proposing to
list the chemical on the AICS.
Statements should be provided to the contact officer detailed below.
Next Steps
1
The Acts Interpretation Act 1901 requires that a time period commences with day 1 being the day after
the publication of a notice. Therefore 28 days from publication of this notice is 6 March 2012.
Chemical Gazette
Commonwealth of Australia Gazette
No. C 02, 07 February 2012
14
In accordance with section 15AA(7) of the Act, once the 28 days have passed, the
Director will, having regard to any statements received, make a final decision to include
or not include any chemical and associated conditions of use on the AICS for which a
statement has been received.
Under section 15AA(8), the Director will then publish a notice in the Chemical Gazette
listing any final decisions that have been made. An application can be made to the
Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) for a review of a final decision by the Director.
Given the close of comments is COB 6 March 2012, the earliest opportunity to publish
the notice will be the April 2012 Chemical Gazette.
Under Section 15AB, after at least 28 days has passed since the publication of the
Director’s decision and an application to the AAT has not been made, or with regard to
the finalisation of any appeal that has been made to the AAT, the Director must include
the chemical in the AICS, along with any conditions of use, and give notice of this action
in the Chemical Gazette.
Following these processes, the relevant chemical will be regarded as an existing chemical
within the context of the conditions of use, and so can be introduced into Australia
without pre market notification or post market reporting to NICNAS if it is used in
accordance with the conditions of use. Under Section 15A of the Act, failure to comply
with these conditions of use is an offence, and will require the chemical to be notified to
NICNAS as a new industrial chemical, unless an exemption applies.
Introduction of a chemical for such other uses (for example, for a non-cosmetic use; or
for a cosmetic use but at a higher concentration than specified in the condition of use)
would mean the chemical is a new chemical as defined under Section 5 of the Act. The
introduction of such a new chemical is subject to Section 21 of the Act and the associated
requirements prescribed in the Industrial Chemicals (Notification and Assessment)
Regulations 1990.
Arrangements for annually reporting of chemicals proposed for listing on the AICS
The chemicals in Table 1 proposed for transfer to the AICS under section 15AA of the
Act are currently considered new chemicals and so are subject to the premarket
notification and assessment requirements and/or post market reporting obligations under
Part 3 Division 1 of the Act. These reporting obligations currently apply for these
chemicals, however if the chemicals are ultimately transferred to the AICS, annual
reports will no longer be required if used in cosmetic products under the specified
conditions of use.
In order to reduce the impact of the uncertainty on business about the annual reporting
arrangements for 2011-12 while the chemicals are being proposed for transfer to the
AICS, the Director, NICNAS, has decided not to seek reports under s21AA for the
chemicals in Table 1 that are introduced as new chemicals for use in cosmetics within the
Chemical Gazette
Commonwealth of Australia Gazette
No. C 02, 07 February 2012
15
specified conditions of use during the current registration year between 1 September 2011
and 31 August 2012.
Further information on annual reporting arrangements are outlined in a notice in the
November 2011 Chemical Gazette:

NOTICE OF INCLUSION ON THE AUSTRALIAN INVENTORY OF
CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES OF CERTAIN COSMETIC INGREDIENTS IN
PRODUCTS PREVIOUSLY REGULATED BY THE THERAPEUTIC GOODS
ADMINISTRATION
In accordance with Subsection 15AB(2) of the Industrial Chemicals (Notification and
Assessment) Act 1989 (the Act), this notice is to advise that the Director, NICNAS, has
included on the public section of the Australian Inventory of Chemical Substances (AICS) 34
chemicals for cosmetic use only, along with associated conditions of use (see Table 1).
Background
The regulatory responsibility for chemicals in certain cosmetic products that were previously
regulated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) was transferred to NICNAS under
the cosmetic reforms in 2007.
The Director, NICNAS proposed, via a notice published in the Chemical Gazette of 1
November 2011, an initial list of 34 chemicals for transfer to the AICS, along with associated
conditions of use in accordance with subsections 15AA(1) and 15AA(2) of the Act.
The Decision
No statements objecting to the proposal for transfer to the AICS of any of the 34 chemicals
were received within the 28 day time limit. Therefore, the Director, NICNAS decided to
include each of these chemicals in the public section of the AICS for cosmetic use only,
together with an associated conditions of use.
Notice of this decision was given in the Chemical Gazette of 6 December 2011. Included in
this notice was advice that, under subsection 15AB(1) of the Act, each decision to include a
chemical on the AICS was subject to appeal to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT).
No applications for review of the decision were received.
Inclusion of Chemicals on the AICS
Under Section 15AB, after at least 28 days has passed since the publication of the Director’s
decision and if an application to the AAT has not been made, or with regard to the
finalisation of any appeal that has been made to the AAT, the Director must include the
chemical in the public section of the AICS, along with any conditions of use, and give notice
of this action in the Chemical Gazette.
Notice is hereby given that each of the chemicals listed in Table 1 have been placed on the
non-confidential section of the AICS for cosmetic use only within the listed conditions of
use.

Consequence of inclusion on the AICS
Status as an existing chemical when introduced within condition of use
Under subsection 11(4) of the Act, each chemical listed in Table 1 is regarded as an existing
chemical within the context of the conditions of use, and so the chemical may only be
imported or manufactured as an existing chemical if the importation or manufacture is in
accordance with the condition of use included on the AICS. Failure to comply with these
conditions of use when introducing as an existing chemical is an offence under Section 15A
of the Act.
These chemicals are now no longer subject to new chemical annual reporting requirements
under Section 21AA when used in cosmetics and within the specified conditions of use.
Status as a new chemical when introduced outside condition of use
Introduction of the chemicals listed in Table 1 for uses other than those specified (for
example, for a non-cosmetic use; or for a cosmetic use but at a higher concentration than
specified in the condition of use) results in the chemical being considered a new chemical as
defined under Section 5 of the Act. The introduction of such a new chemical is subject to
Section 21 of the Act and the associated requirements prescribed in the Industrial Chemicals
(Notification and Assessment) Regulations 1990.
Note that in determining that the chemicals listed in Table 1 pose no unreasonable risk when
used within the conditions of use listed on the AICS, the Director has noted that various of
the chemicals possess certain properties that may pose a risk to human health or the
environment when used outside of these conditions.

POST IMPLEMENTATION SURVEY ON IMPACTS OF THE RESTRICTION
OF LEAD COMPOUNDS IN INDUSTRIAL SURFACE COATINGS AND INKS
This notice is directed to persons who



Import or manufacture industrial surface coatings and/or inks.
Import or manufacture components of industrial surface coatings and/or inks.
Use industrial surface coatings and/or ink products/components.
NICNAS is conducting a review of the impact on industry, workers and the public of
restricting the concentration of lead in industrial surface coatings and inks. We are seeking to
collect data by way of a voluntary, web based survey which will run until Friday 27 April
2012. The restrictions have now been fully implemented since January 2009 and the Office of
Best Practice Regulation (OBPR) requires this review to be undertaken post implementation,
as a Regulatory Impact Statement was not completed prior to introduction of the restrictions.
The review will consider impacts across industry, the public and the not for profit sector and
will consider not only financial, but health and safety impacts as well.
In September 2007, NICNAS published its assessment report on the health effects of certain
lead compounds used in industrial surface coatings and inks
http://www.nicnas.gov.au/Publications/CAR/PEC/PEC29.asp ). The report recommended that
the Australian Inventory of Chemical Substances (AICS) be annotated to restrict the
concentration of lead to 0.1% or less. The Director of NICNAS accepted the recommendation
and annotated the AICS, in accordance with S13 of the Industrial Chemicals (Notification
and Assessment) Act (1989), via a phased approach to minimise the impact on business.
Industrial surface coatings, which include liquid products and powder coatings, are those not
typically used in domestic situations. For example, painting of factories, bridges, motor
vehicles, machinery and equipment, and coating of materials used in commercial buildings
such as window frames. Restrictions on lead compounds in inks relate not only to industrial
uses, but to any uses of inks.
The survey can be completed and submitted online and is available on the NICNAS website
at http://www.nicnas.gov.au/Consultations.asp.
For further information contact Stephen Zaluzny on 02 8577 8883, or if outside the 02 STD
area freecall 1800 638 528, or by e-mail at Stephen.zaluzny@nicnas.gov.au

NOTICE REGARDING THE IMPACT OF RECENT CHANGES TO THE
WORK HEALTH AND SAFETY LEGISLATION ON OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE
INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS (NOTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT) ACT 1989
Purpose
To advise of the impact of recent changes to the Work Health and Safety Legislation on
hazard classification of new and existing chemicals by NICNAS.
Background
Work Health and Safety Legislation
New work health and safety laws commenced in New South Wales, Queensland, the
Australian Capital Territory, the Commonwealth and the Northern Territory on 1 January
2012. These new laws are based on the Model Work Health and Safety legislation developed
by Safe Work Australia. More information on the model legislation, as well as the progress of
other jurisdictions to implementing the new laws, can be found at
http://www.safeworkaustralia.gov.au/Legislation/Pages/ModelWHSLegislation.aspx
Under the new legislation the hazard classification of chemicals will be conducted in
accordance with the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of
Chemicals (GHS), as adopted in the Model Work Health and Safety Regulations2. A 5 year
transition period will apply in which classifications under the Approved Criteria for
Classifying Hazardous Substances [NOHSC: 1008(2004)] will be acceptable in addition to
the GHS.
Issues
Implications for classifying new chemicals
From 1 January 2012 all new chemicals will be assessed primarily against the criteria for
classification under the GHS as adopted in the Model Work Health and Safety Regulations
and appropriate recommendations made for classification to the introducer and provided to
Safe Work Australia. Recommendations for classifications under the Approved Criteria for
Classifying Hazardous Substances will continue to be provided during the 5 year transition
period. As is the current practice, new chemicals assessments will include environmental
GHS classifications for information purposes.
Hazard criteria for assessment of new chemicals
If only GHS information is available to the introducer, NICNAS will consider a chemical as a
hazardous chemical if it satisfies the criteria for a hazard class in the GHS (3rd edition),
except where that chemical satisfies the criteria solely for one of the following hazard classes:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
(e)
(f)
(g)
(h)
acute toxicity – oral- category 5;
acute toxicity – dermal – category 5;
acute toxicity – inhalation – category 5;
skin corrosion/irritation – category 3;
serious eye damage/eye irritation – category 2B;
aspiration hazard – category 2;
flammable gas – category 2;
acute hazard to the aquatic environment – category 1, 2 or 3;
2
Information on the Model Work Health and Safety Regulations can be found at:

(i) chronic hazard to the aquatic environment – category 1, 2, 3 or 4;
(j) hazardous to the ozone layer.
Note: This definition of a hazardous chemical is consistent with that set out in the Model
Work Health and Safety Regulations.
For some new chemical permit categories, the hazard eligibility criteria are associated with
specific risk phrases. In these instances, the equivalent GHS classes that are outlined in Table
1 will apply.
