AICIS issued an inventory notice varying AIIC listing terms after evaluation for CAS 70693-64-0, 12222-80-9, 15141-18-1, 68516-81-4, 69766-79-6, and 72987-42-9. The variations include new SIRs and an amended SIR requiring introducers to notify AICIS of volume introduced and end use within 20 working days when specified conditions occur (e.g., end use changes beyond textile dyes/printing inks, use by non-professional workers, start of manufacturing, volume-related conditions, or new adverse environmental effects information—conditions vary by CAS). Compliance teams should map each CAS to its listing conditions and implement processes to detect trigger events and meet the 20-working-day notification timeframe.
AICIS issued an inventory notice varying the Australian Inventory of Industrial Chemicals (AIIC) listing terms for CAS 3253-39-2 to add a Specific Information Requirement (SIR). The SIR requires introducers to notify the Executive Director about volume introduced and end use within 20 working days if the chemical is introduced for consumer end use (except articles). Compliance teams should review product end-use classifications and ensure internal triggers and recordkeeping support the 20-working-day reporting timeline when consumer end use occurs or changes.
AICIS published an Inventory notice that an industrial chemical (CAS 3113590-25-0; 1-Pyrrolidinepropanaminium, N,N,N-trimethyl-2,5-dioxo-, 3-polyisobutenyl derivs., Me sulfates) was added to the Australian Inventory of Industrial Chemicals under section 82 of the Industrial Chemicals Act 2019 (addition 5 years after issue of an assessment certificate). The notice also reiterates that specific information requirement (SIR) obligations apply and introducers must notify AICIS within 28 days if their introduction circumstances differ from those described in AICIS’s assessment—relevant for ongoing compliance, record-keeping, and change management for import/manufacture conditions.
AICIS published an Inventory notice indicating a variation to an Australian Inventory of Industrial Chemicals (AIIC) listing due to revocation of a confidential business information (CBI) approval, identifying the affected substance by CAS 403656-24-6. For compliance teams, this signals that public inventory record content/identifiers associated with the listing may have changed following the CBI decision, which can affect substance identification, documentation, and downstream compliance communications. (Detailed notice text could not be extracted in the research run, but the official hub and notice URL corroborate the event and CAS number.)
AICIS published an enforceable undertaking with MCo Beauty Pty Ltd, commencing 9 February 2026. The undertaking relates to alleged unauthorised introductions of products containing industrial chemicals under the Industrial Chemicals Act 2019 framework. Commitments include quarantining relevant products (including where import volumes exceeded 100 kg in a registration year) pending destruction or re-export with evidence to AICIS within specified timeframes, and implementing documented compliance systems to prevent recurrence and ensure compliance with authorised introduction categories and related obligations. This signals AICIS enforcement expectations around introduction authorisation and internal compliance controls.
AICIS issued a notice updating its Rolling Action Plan by extending the end date for chemical evaluation EVA00176 to 30 June 2026, citing the need to consult with relevant government agencies on matters arising during the evaluation. Companies with interest in the evaluated substance(s) should adjust internal tracking for evaluation outcomes and any downstream risk-management expectations tied to the evaluation timeline.
AICIS opened consultation on proposed revisions to the Industrial Chemicals Categorisation Guidelines for 2026, including two specific proposals: (1) add 5 more chemicals to Part 6.5.2 (salts/esters with potential developmental toxicity) and invite suggestions for other chemicals; and (2) replace the current dual definition of “chemical identity holder” with a single new definition. The notice also previews the September 2026 annual update to the “list of chemicals with high hazards for categorisation,” indicating it will add 294 chemicals, update 121 entries, remove 2 chemicals, and correct one CAS number. Compliance teams should monitor and, where relevant, submit comments and begin impact screening for categorisation changes and potential re-categorisation impacts in Sept 2026 once finalised.
AICIS published an official notice confirming there are no changes to AICIS fees and levies for the 2025–26 registration year and referenced the 2025–26 Cost Recovery Implementation Statement (CRIS). The CRIS states the regulatory charges are to be applied from 1 September 2025. This is operationally relevant for compliance budgeting and registration planning for introducers, confirming continuity in the cost recovery settings for the period.
