Australia publishes 9 evaluations for chemical use and associated risks
On the 30th of May 2022, Australia published some evaluations under section 78 of the Industrial Chemicals Act 2019. The draft versions of these evaluations were initially published for public consultation and closed on the 28th of March 2022.
The concerned chemicals and new evaluations are as follows:
|
Subject of evaluation |
Evaluation outcome |
|
1,3,5-Triazine-2,4,6-triamine (melamine) |
Recommendation made to the regulatory body (workers) on a safe introduction and use of the substance. |
|
|
Information on a safe introduction and use |
|
1,6-Octadiene, 7-methyl-3-methylene-(Myrcene) |
Recommendation made to the regulatory body (workers) on a safe introduction and use |
|
Octynoic and nonynoic acid esters |
Recommendation made to the regulatory bodies (public health & workers) on a safe introduction and use |
|
2,5,8,11,14-Pentaoxapentadecane (tetraglyme) |
Recommendation made to the regulatory body (workers) on a safe introduction and use |
|
Ethanone, 1-(2,3,4,7,8,8a-hexahydro-3,6,8,8-tetramethyl-1H-3a,7-methanoazulen-5-yl)-, [3R-(3.alpha.,3a.beta.,7.beta.,8a.alpha.)]- (acetyl cedrene) |
For this, no new means of managing risk is proposed |
|
2-phenylphenol and salts |
For this, no new means of managing risk is proposed |
|
Chemicals that are unlikely to require further regulation for risk management in the environment |
For this, no new means of managing risk is proposed |
|
Chemicals not considered for in-depth evaluation – Not commercially active in Australia |
For this, no new means of managing risk is proposed |
