Australia to Categorize and Schedule Industrial Chemicals as per Environmental Risks

On March 23, 2022, the Australian Government issued a national roadmap to deliver Australia’s Industrial Chemicals Environmental Management Standard (IChEMS). IChEMS is a national approach to help industries and governments manage the environmental risks of chemicals, which operates in conjunction with the Australia Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme (AICIS). The roadmap sets out key steps, roles and responsibilities in the transition to IChEMS.
