Introduction of Chemical Substances in Australia
We provide a variety of services related to the introduction (manufacture/import) of chemical substances under the Industrial Chemicals Act 2019.
In Australia, the Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme (AICIS) manages the introduction of industrial chemicals, and introducers (manufacturers/importers) are required to implement the introduction of chemicals in accordance with the Industrial Chemicals Act 2019.
Business contents
Prior consulting
We propose an introduction plan according to the business plan, considering the manufacture/import volume, purpose of the import, purpose of the use, and risk of the chemical substance.
In many countries other than Australia, the application method and the tests required for application are determined by the manufacture/import volume, purpose of the import, etc., but in Australia, the introduction are managed with its own system (risk assessment, etc.).
In Australia, cosmetics also are subject to the Industrial Chemicals Act 2019, so we recommend a pre-introduction research.
Support related to introduction
We provide support from preparation to submission of report and application documents for introductions (reported introductions, assessed introductions and commercial evaluation introductions) that require reporting and application.
Support after introduction
After the introduction of chemical substances, the introducer needs to declare to AICIS and keep records.
We provide support for providing information to importers (introducers) in Australia.
