Choose from 5 options:
You must keep certain records for introductions of polymers that are comparable to listed polymers, which you’ve categorised as exempted. You must provide these records within 20 working days if we ask for them.
Before you read this page’s content, make sure you’ve already read and understood our record-keeping overview page.
The type of records you must keep depends on:
An introducer is taken to know the CAS number, CAS name, IUPAC name, or eligible INCI plant extract name if it would be reasonably practicable for them to find out that number/name.
This means introducers must proactively try to find this information, including checking for it with their chemical supplier.
Work through information on this page to understand your record-keeping obligations for this type of introduction.
You will also need the following records:
your chemical isn’t listed on the Inventory with conditions of introduction or use that will be contravened
We'll accept a signed and dated declaration that these checks took place.
*unless it is introduced solely for use in research or analysis and the amount that you introduce in a registration year does not exceed 100kg.
You must have records to demonstrate that your introduction meets the criteria for introductions of polymers that are comparable to listed polymers – see checkboxes below.
You must have records showing all 3 below:
See our definition of a polymer
The records you must keep relate to the chemical identity of the polymer that is listed on the Inventory (the listed polymer) that is comparable to your polymer – rather than the polymer you are introducing.
