On July 14, 2022, the Australian Government published two notices to declare some changes of the Australian Inventory of Industrial Chemicals (AIIC).
According to Notice I1, Australia revoked CBI approvals for the proper names of 6 industrial chemicals in the AIIC. These 6 industrial chemicals are:
CAS number | Chemical name |
1029874-65-4 | Sulfonic acids, C15-18-sec-alkane hydroxy and C15-18-sec-alkene, sodium salts |
1084935-55-6 | Sulfonic acids, C20-24-branched alkane hydroxy and C20-24-branched alkene, sodium salts |
2768937-93-3 | 1,3-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, polymer with 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-ethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol, hexanedioic acid, 3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethylpropyl 3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethylpropanoate and 1,3-isobenzofurandione, benzoate isononanoate |
2768937-94-4 | 1,3-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, polymer with 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-ethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol, hexanedioic acid, 3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethylpropyl 3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethylpropanoate and 1,3-isobenzofurandione, benzoate |
1312349-72-6 | 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, (1R,2R,4R)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl ester, rel-, polymer with 1,4-butanediol, butyl 2-propenoate, dimethyl carbonate, 1,6-hexanediol, 3-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methylpropanoic acid, 5-isocyanato-1-(isocyanatomethyl)-1,3,3-trimethylcyclohexane and 1,5-pentanediol, diethanolamine-blocked, compds. with 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol |
1312350-88-1 | 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, (1R,2R,4R)-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-yl ester, rel-, polymer with 1,4-butanediol, butyl 2-propenoate, 1,3-dioxolan-2-one, 1,6-hexanediol, 3-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methylpropanoic acid, 5-isocyanato-1-(isocyanatomethyl)-1,3,3-trimethylcyclohexane and 1,5-pentanediol, diethanolamine-blocked, compds. with 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol |
According to Notice II2, the term of the AIIC listing for a chemical, which had been varied as Oils, Callitris columellaris (CAS No. 192526-11-7) from October 15, 2021, has now been restored to be consistent with the CAS number and chemical name for Oils, Callitris intratropica (CAS No. 187348-13-6) on July 13, 2022. Here’s a table to facilitate your understanding.
varied on October 5 2021 | restored on July 13, 2022 | ||
Previous chemical name | Previous CAS number | Restored chemical name | Restored CAS number |
Oils, Callitris columellaris *Other name: Callitris columellaris intratropica oil | 192526-11-7 | Oils, Callitris intratropica | 187348-13-6 |
Chemicals that are listed in the AIIC can be introduced by any registered introducers (importers or manufactures). According to the IC Act 2019, introducers shall apply for the registration before introducing an industrial chemical to Australia during a registration year (goes from September 1 to August 31). Penalties apply if a person introduces an industrial chemical without registration. For chemicals not listed in AIIC, introducers shall apply to the Executive Director for an assessment certificate for the introduction of such industrial chemicals.
