Who is it for?

The decision tool is an online questionnaire designed for chemical importers, manufacturers or their suppliers to work out if their proposed chemical introduction meets the criteria for either the R&D exempted or R&D reported category.

 

This tool is not for listed introductions. If your R&D introduction is for a chemical that is already on the Inventory, use our categorisation guide to check if it meets the criteria for the listed category.

How the R&D decision tool will help you

  • Complete our questionnaire and get an instant answer if your introduction does not meet the R&D criteria
  • If your introduction is for R&D, find out if it is eligible for either the exempted (very low risk) or reported (low risk) category.
  • Learn what to do next if your introduction does not meet the requirements for the R&D exempted or reported categories.

This tool is easy to use - complete it at your own pace!
