19. Secondary Notification


Under Section 65 of the Industrial Chemicals (Notification and Assessment) Act 1989, secondary notification of formaldehyde may be required where an introducer of the chemical becomes aware of circumstances that may warrant a reassessment of its hazard and risks. Specific circumstances include:

        • The function or use of formaldehyde has increased, or is likely to change significantly;

        • The amount of formaldehyde introduced into Australia has increased, or is likely to increase significantly;

        • The method of manufacture of the chemical in Australia has changed or is likely to change, in a way that may result in an increased risk of adverse health effects or adverse environmental effects;

        • Additional information has become available to the introducer as to the adverse health effects or adverse environmental effects of the chemical.

NICNAS will re-evaluate the cancer hazard classification and risk estimates when any new significant epidemiology data and risk estimates become available.
The Director of NICNAS must be notified within 28 days of the manufacturer/importer becoming aware of any of the above or other circumstances prescribed under Section 65 of the Act.
