Background Reading

NZloC is a collection of all hazardous single chemicals that can be used in products assigned to a group standard. It contains the substance name, the CAS number, the approval status and how it can be used in a group standard.

Most group standards have a requirement to ensure that every hazardous component of your product is listed on the New Zealand Inventory of Chemicals (NZloC). If you have a product that contains a component that isn't listed on the NZloC, you will have to notify the EPA of it. You can download and fill this form listed and email it to [email protected] to notify the EPA.

Inventory status*: each chemical listed on the NZloC has been given an inventory “status”. And there are three options:

  • Where a substance has an individual HSNO approval. The HSNO approval code will be displayed.

  • The substance is present in New Zealand in its own right but does not have an individual approval. These substances can be used as single component products under an appropriate group standard approval.

  • The substance can only be used as a component in a product assigned to a group standard approval. It cannot be used as a product in its own right.
