AICIS Consults on New Upfront Information Requirements for Specified Classes of Chemical Introductions

On July 28, 2026, the Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme (AICIS) launched a public consultation regarding targeted information requirements for assessment certificate applications involving "specified classes of introduction." Open for industry feedback until September 8, 2026, the policy update mandates that starting July 1, 2027, businesses must submit specific hazard and exposure data upfront through IUCLID as part of their initial assessment application, rather than waiting for post-submission requests from regulators.
