Your obligations after categorisation for listed introductions
Once you’ve worked out that your introduction is in the listed category, go through A – E on this page to learn about your obligations.
A. Register your business
You must register your business with us and keep records to prove that you are registered at the correct level.
Once you have completed your registration, you can start manufacturing or importing your chemical.
B. Keep records about your listed introduction
You must keep records about the chemicals that you import or manufacture (introduce) under the listed category.
C. Annual declaration
You must submit an annual declaration at the end of each registration year (from August). Select ‘Listed introduction’ in your declaration form.
Other ongoing obligations that apply
Your chemical introduction will remain a listed introduction as long as:
- The chemical is on the Inventory
- The importation or manufacture of the chemical is within the terms of Inventory listing.
Important – if the circumstances of your introduction change, make sure you check that the introduction of your chemical is within the terms of Inventory listing.
D. If the chemical’s Inventory listing has conditions, a defined scope of assessment or specific information requirement
If the circumstances of your introduction change, work through step 0 again to make sure your introduction is still a listed introduction. If the Inventory listing has a specific information requirement, use our guide to work out if you must submit information on AICIS Business Services.
E. Report hazard information on chemicals previously assessed by AICIS
Introducers must report hazard information that they became aware of since the most recent publication of an AICIS assessment or evaluation statement on the chemical.
If a person who has introduced a chemical within the previous 12 months becomes aware of information about a new or increased hazard to human health or the environment from the introduction or use of a chemical, then they must report this to AICIS within 20 days of becoming aware of the information.
You must provide information about:
- any hazard to human health or the environment from the introduction or use of the industrial chemical that is not identified in the most recent AICIS assessment statement or evaluation statement on that chemical
- any hazard to human health or the environment that is identified in the most recent assessment statement or evaluation statement for the industrial chemical and that indicates an increase in the severity of the hazard.
