2 REPORT ON THE NICNAS VOLUNTARY CALL FOR INFORMATION

ON CHEMICALS OF SECURITY CONCERN

NICNAS was commissioned by the Attorney-General’s Department (AGD) to collect information on certain chemicals identified in the COAG Report on the Control of

Chemicals of Security Concern . AGD is responsible for the implementation of the

Council of Australian Governments (COAG)

Agreement on Australia’s National

Arrangements for the Management of Security Risks Associated with Chemicals.

NICNAS obtained and collated information on the use of 67 chemicals that were defined as ‘industrial chemicals’ under the Industrial Chemicals (Notification and

Assessment) Act 1989 .

This project was completed over a three year period and information was provided to

AGD in batches based on identified priorities of chemicals. The information collection methodology and some of the information collected are described in a report that is publicly available on the NICNAS website at http://www.nicnas.gov.au/Current_Issues/chemicals%20of%20concern/AGD_report_

4 THE NICNAS REGISTRATION STRUCTURE IS CHANGING

The NICNAS registration structure is changing to accommodate a new lower annual threshold, and new fees and charges, for commercial introducers (manufacturers or importers) of industrial chemicals. Commencing 1 September 2013, NICNAS will have four levels of registration, with a new level for introducers of relevant industrial chemicals with an annual value of less than $100,000.

What is changing?

From 2013-14, the value for the lower threshold associated with NICNAS

Registration charges is changing from $500,000 to $100,000. This means the current registrants at the lower tier of registration (under $500,000) will be split into two levels: those introducing relevant industrial chemicals with an annual value of less than $100,000 (Level A) and those introducing an annual value of $100,000 or more

(Level B).

There will now be four levels of registration as shown below:

5 NOTICE OF INCLUSION ON THE AUSTRALIAN INVENTORY OF

CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES OF 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) one chemical for cosmetic use only, along with associated conditions of use

(see Table 1) in accordance with subsections 15AA(1) and 15AA(2) of the Act.

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 Australian Government’s cosmetic reforms in 2007.

The Director, NICNAS proposed, via Notice 9 published in the Chemical Gazette of 5

June 2012, the chemical subject to this notice for transfer to the AICS as listed in

Table 1, along with associated conditions of use in accordance with subsections

15AA(1) and 15AA(2) of the Act.

The Decision

A statement was received in respect of the chemical listed in Table 1 within the 28 day statutory time period. Having taken account of the statement received, the

Director, NICNAS decided to include the chemical on the AICS together with the conditions of use as originally proposed.

Notice of this decision was given in the Chemical Gazette of 2 April 2013 (Notice 2).

Included in this Notice was advice that, under subsection 15AB(1) of the Act, the decision to include a chemical on the AICS was subject to appeal to the

Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). No application for review of the decision was received for the chemical listed in Table 1.

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 the chemical listed in Table 1 has been placed on the nonconfidential section of the AICS for cosmetic use only, along with associated conditions of use in accordance with subsections 15AA(1) and 15AA(2) of the Act.


No. C 05, 07 May 2013

12

Consequence of inclusion on the AICS

Status as an existing chemical when introduced within condition of use

The chemical listed in Table 1 will be regarded as an existing chemical within the context of the conditions of use. Under section 15A of the Act, failure to comply with these conditions of use when introducing as an existing chemical is an offence. As such, this chemical is 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 chemical listed in Table 1 for uses other than those specified

(namely, for a non-cosmetic use or at a higher concentration than specified in Table 1 when used in a cosmetic) results in the chemical being considered as 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.

6 NOTICE OF NON-INCLUSION ON THE AUSTRALIAN INVENTORY

OF CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES OF 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 not included on the Australian Inventory of Chemical Substances (AICS) two chemicals listed in Table 2.

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 Australian Government’s cosmetic reforms in 2007.

The Director, NICNAS proposed, via Notice 10 published in the Chemical Gazette of

5 June 2012, the chemicals listed in Table 2 would not be transferred to the AICS, in accordance with subsection 15AA(1) of the Act.

The Decision

A statement was received in respect of the chemicals listed in Table 2 within the 28 day statutory time period. Having taken account of the statement received, the

Director, NICNAS decided not to include the chemicals on the AICS as originally proposed.

Notice of this decision was given in the Chemical Gazette of 2 April 2013 (Notice 3).

Included in this Notice was advice that, under subsection 15AB(1) of the Act, the decision to not include the two chemicals on the AICS was subject to appeal to the

Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). No application for review of the decision was received for the chemicals listed in Table 2.

Non-Inclusion of Chemicals on the AICS

As 28 days have passed since the publication of the Director’s decision and no application to the AAT has been made, the Director has not included the chemicals in the public section of the AICS.

Notice is hereby given that the chemicals listed in Table 2 have not been placed on the

AICS.

Consequence of Non-Inclusion on the AICS

As the two chemicals listed in Table 2 are not being listed on the AICS, they remain as new chemicals for any use. Their introduction continues to be subject to section 21 of the Act and the associated requirements prescribed in the Industrial Chemicals

(Notification and Assessment) Regulations 1990, in particular annual reporting requirements continue to apply.

7 NOTICE REGARDING AMENDMENTS TO THE INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS

(NOTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT) REGULATIONS

This notice details amendments to the Industrial Chemicals (Notification and Assessment)

Regulations 1990 (the Regulations) which came into force on 30 April 2013 to:

 correct a recently discovered error in the drafting of the Regulation 4J; and

 change the term “Material Safety Data Sheet” to “Safety Data Sheet” for consistency with the terminology used in the new work, health and safety laws.

Regulation 4J

In February 2013 NICNAS published a notice in the Chemical Gazette detailing proposed amendments to Regulation 4J

( http://www.nicnas.gov.au/Publications/Chemical_Gazette/Chemical_Gazette_February_201

3/Notice_1.asp

).

Several provisions of the Industrial Chemicals (Notification and Assessment) Act 1989 (the

Act) make reference to ‘non-hazardous chemical’, which is defined in subsection 5(2) of the

Act.

Paragraph 5(2)(c) of the Act makes reference to prescribed criteria that need to be met to satisfy the definition of ‘non-hazardous chemical’. These criteria are prescribed in regulation

4J of the Regulations.

Regulation 4J states that the criteria must be satisfied in relation to the reference to ‘nonhazardous chemicals’ in certain provisions of the Act. However, in an oversight in the original regulations, two sections in the Act that make reference to a ‘non-hazardous chemical’ were overlooked and not specifically listed in subregulation 4J(2). This includes subsection 21(6)(c) (which includes an exception to a prohibition on introducing a new industrial chemical where the chemical is a ‘non-hazardous chemical’) and subparagraph

23A(1)(b) (which allows a manufacturer or importer to apply for a self-assessed assessment certificate for ‘a non-hazardous chemical’).

Subregulation 4J(2) has therefore been amended to insert the references to self-assessed certificate applications (paragraph 23A(1)(b)) and exemptions for chemicals introduced at less than 1% in a cosmetic product (paragraph 21(6)(c)), and is now:

(2) A non-hazardous chemical to which paragraph 21(6)(c), subsection 23(5), (7) or (9) or paragraph 23A(1)(b) of the Act applies must:

(a) have one of the following characteristics:

(i) if the chemical dissolves in water without dissociation or association and is not surface-active, the partition coefficient (n-octanol/water) at 20 o

C expressed as log P ow

must not exceed 3;

(ii) the chemical’s solubility in water must be more than 1mg/Litre;

(iii) the chemical’s number-average molecular weight (in the case of a polymer) or the chemical’s molecular weight (in any other case) must be more than 1000; and


No. C 05, 07 May 2013

18

(b) be readily biodegradable in accordance with the test known as a Ready

Biodegradability Test mentioned in paragraph (q) of Part C of the Schedule to the Act; and

(c) not have a toxicity:

(i) to fish, using the test mentioned in paragraph (m) of Part C of the

Schedule to the Act, and expressed as an LC

50

, that is less than

100 mg/litre; and

(ii) to aquatic invertebrates, using the test mentioned in paragraph (n) of Part C of the Schedule to the

Act, and expressed as an EC

50

, that is less than 100 mg/litre; and

(iii) to algae, using the test mentioned in paragraph (p) of Part C of the

Schedule to the Act, and expressed as an EC

50

, that is less than

100 mg/litre.

As this amendment aligns the text of Regulation 4J with the current NICNAS practice no changes to current guidance material are required.

Changing the term “Material Safety Data Sheet” to “Safety Data Sheet”

In July 2012 NICNAS published a notice in the Chemical Gazette detailing proposed amendments to NICNAS legislation arising out of changes to national work, health and safety laws

( http://www.nicnas.gov.au/Publications/Chemical_Gazette/Chemical_Gazette_July_2012/No tice_1.asp

)

This amendment arises from the Model Work Health and Safety Regulations 2011 (Model

Regulations), which were developed by Safe Work Australia and commenced in the

Commonwealth on 1 January 2012. The term “material safety data sheet” was amended in the NICNAS Act in November 2012 so as to enable a corresponding amendment in the

NICNAS Regulations, which has now occurred.

Transitional arrangements in the Model Regulations allow for a five year period in which

Material Safety Data Sheets will be acceptable, in addition to Safety Data Sheets. To minimise impact on industry, NICNAS is also allowing a five year transition period (from 1

January 2012 to 31 December 2016) during which time Material Safety Data Sheets and

Safety Data Sheets will be accepted for the purposes of obligations under the ICNA Act.

8 ASSESSMENT AND PRIORITISATION OF EXISTING CHEMICALS ON

THE AUSTRALIAN INVENTORY OF CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES (AICS)

– STAGE

ONE

NICNAS is implementing a new framework for the assessment and prioritisation of previously unassessed chemicals that are listed on the Australian Inventory of Chemical

Substances (AICS). The Inventory Multi-tiered Assessment and Prioritisation (IMAP)

Framework is being implemented in stages, with a focus on a subset of chemicals on AICS meeting characteristics confirmed through stakeholder consultation. This new framework is producing information about the hazards and risks associated with the use of industrial chemicals and identifies chemicals which may require risk mitigation to ensure safe use.

In July 2012, NICNAS started assessing around 3,000 existing chemicals (Stage One chemicals) using the IMAP Framework, and has published the first and second tranches of assessment reports for public comment.

During the week beginning 13 May 2013, NICNAS will publish on the NICNAS website three updates on IMAP.

1.

A summary of public comments provided for tranche one chemicals (published

December 2012), the NICNAS response to these comments, and amended Tier II assessment reports where required.

2.

The third tranche of assessment reports, including both human health and environmental assessments for more of the Stage One chemicals. Interested parties have an opportunity to comment on the draft IMAP assessment reports within six weeks of their initial publication. Comments should be provided using the IMAP public comment form , which provides guidance regarding submissions.

3.

To gain further efficiencies in the implementation of IMAP, NICNAS is including additional chemicals for assessment during Stage One. These are chemicals that can be rapidly assessed for either (or both) human health and environmental risks because they are included in a group of chemicals already being assessed in Stage One. These chemicals will also be published.
