SUNSCREEN STANDARD (AS/NZS 2604:2012) FOR COSMETIC SUNSCREEN
PRODUCTS – CLOSING ON 25 JANUARY 2013
To remind stakeholders that NICNAS is consulting on the regulatory impacts on industry,
community, and government of the proposed adoption of the revised Australian and New
Zealand Sunscreen Standard (AS/NZS 2604:2012 Sunscreen products – Evaluation and
classification) in the Cosmetics Standard 2007. If adopted in the Cosmetics Standard 2007, the
revised Sunscreen Standard would be applicable to all cosmetic sunscreen products regulated
by NICNAS. The initial announcement of this consultation was in Notice 1 of the Chemical
Gazette of 4 December 2012. Stakeholders are reminded that comments should be submitted
by 25 January 2013.
The public consultation document provides more information and is published on the
consultation section of the NICNAS website at http://www.nicnas.gov.au/consultations.asp. A

ATTORNEY-GENERAL’S DEPARTMENT IS SEEKING FEEDBACK ON
DRAFT NATIONAL CODE OF PRACTICE FOR CHEMICALS OF SECURITY
CONCERN
Many of the chemicals that we use every day have also been used in terrorist attacks around the
world. In Australia, individuals have been arrested after attempting to procure chemicals that
police believe were going to be used to manufacture homemade explosives.
Businesses and Australian governments need to work together to detect and prevent the use of
chemicals for terrorist purposes and ensure a safer Australia. Australian businesses play a
critical role in achieving that by managing security risks as part of good business practice. It
also helps keep Australia a great place to do business.
The Australian Government and state and territory governments have decided to pursue a
voluntary code of practice for businesses that manage, handle or use products containing 11
chemicals that are precursors to homemade explosives. The voluntary code will seek to make
these chemicals more secure, and to ensure the safety of the community.
The Attorney-General’s Department is seeking feedback on the draft code of practice.
Feedback will shape the final version of the code and ensure that it can be easily understood
and effectively used by businesses.
To download the draft code of practice and to find out how to make a submission, visit
www.chemicalsecurity.gov.au/PublicConsultation.
The consultation closes on 1 March 2013.
