Getting started: registration, importing and manufacturing
If you manufacture or import industrial chemicals - or products that release industrial chemicals - then you must register with us.
A quick outline on what you need to do if you're planning to introduce (import or manufacture) industrial chemicals - or products that release industrial chemicals - for commercial purposes.
Learn about registration and use our decision tool questionnaire to help you work out if you need to register.
Find out the types of introductions that don't require you to register with us or categorise.
You must check the chemical inventory to see if the industrial chemical you're planning to introduce is listed.
Blending is the process of combining industrial chemicals together to prepare a mixture without a chemical reaction occurring.
If all the ingredients in your product that you import or manufacture meet our naturally occurring chemical definition, you do not need to register with us, but if an ingredient does not meet our definition, you must register.
We define an article as a finished good that is designed for a particular purpose and that does not release a chemical during use.
