Updates on Feb 2, 2024:
The Australian Government recently announced the variation of two chemicals previously listed in the Australian Inventory of Industrial Chemicals (AIIC) after their evaluation, i.e., adding a specific requirement to provide information. The variation will take effect on 29 February 2024.
According to the notice, given that these chemicals may cause adverse effects on fertility and development and risk estimates based on the final evaluation statement (EVA00127) on historical uses in cosmetic products indicated a risk to the public, the introduction and use of these chemicals in Australia must be informed so that the risks can be appropriately managed. Therefore, the Executive Director of AICIS concluded that the request for providing information on these chemicals is necessary to manage the risks to human health from the introduction or use of them. Below are the details about the variation.
CAS Number | Chemical Name | Specific information requirements as varied |
| 2370-63-0 | 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 2-ethoxyethyl ester | Obligations to provide information apply. You must tell the Executive Director the volume of introduction, use and end use of the chemical within 20 working days if the chemical is being introduced for consumer end use except in articles. |
| 6976-93-8 | 2-Propenoic acid, 2-methyl-, 2-methoxyethyl ester |

Background
AIIC serves as a searchable database containing approximately 40,000 chemicals that are manufactured or imported for industrial use in Australia. Industrial chemicals covered by assessment certificates are listed on the AIIC after 5 years, but there are also provisions for early listing. Any registered person can introduce an industrial chemical listed on the Inventory but must comply with the terms of the Inventory listing, along with record-keeping and reporting requirements.
The introductions (manufacture or import) of chemicals that are not listed in AIIC should be categorized before starting relevant activities. Under the Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme (AICIS), for different introduction categories, different obligations apply.
