Australian List of chemicals with high hazards for categorisation

The hazard classifications in the Australian List of chemicals with high hazards for categorisation are based on recommendations from other countries and international bodies. Under AICIS requirements for the introduction of industrial chemicals, introducers must classify their industrial chemicals in accordance with the categorisation procedures set out in the Chemical Categorisation Guide prior to introduction. Different introduction categories correspond to different compliance requirements and obligations. The List serves as a screening tool to assist introducers in classifying introduced chemicals based on available information, while preventing known high-concern chemicals from being categorised as very low risk (exempted introduction) or low risk (reported introduction). Specifically, when determining whether a chemical should be categorised as exempt or reported, introducers must use the List in Steps 4-6 of the categorisation procedure (i.e., assessing human health risks, assessing environmental risks, and finalising the introduction category) to demonstrate that the chemical does not possess certain hazardous properties, as required by the Guide.
