Documentation & Recordkeeping Under AICIS

All introducers (importers and manufacturers) of industrial chemicals must ensure compliance with the requirements of the Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme (AICIS). To ensure compliance all introducers must keep records and documentation for all industrial chemical(s) introduced by them for a minimum period of 5 years.

• Identity Records for the Chemical – e.g. molecular formula, CAS registry number, chemical name.
• Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for the introduced chemical(s) – These must be able to be accessed by the introducer and made available to the end user as required by the Code for the Manufacture of Industrial Chemicals (CMIC).
• A description of the risk assessment information used to identify health and environmental hazards of the industrial chemical present and the effects that they have on human health and the environment.
• The volume at which you import/ manufacture a chemical – used to calculate the registration level and AICIS fees that you pay.
• Exposure scenarios: information describing how the introduced chemical is used and managed, how it is handled and how it should be disposed of.
• Introduction category justification: The justification for introducing a chemical under a particular introduction category (listed, exempted, reported, assessed or commercial evaluation).
• Records that provide evidence of calculation of declared volumes of introduced industrial chemicals (e.g. commercial invoices; orders; airway bills; receipts).

Note that AICIS may require documentation to be provided within 20 working days. All documentation for a chemical must be retained for a minimum of 5 years after use for introduced industrial chemicals whether or not the chemical is still being introduced.
