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
