Updated record-keeping checklists for exempted and reported introductions
We recently updated some of our downloadable and printable record-keeping checklists. These checklists are designed to help introducers understand their record-keeping obligations and provide certainty about the types of records needed to remain compliant.
Key changes
- New guidance about what records we will accept for chemical identity in circumstances where an introducer does not know the CAS number of the chemical. This includes an explanation of the very limited circumstances when an INCI name can be accepted.
- Obligations to keep a record of the quantity of the chemical released to the environment for introductions that involve a 'designated kind of release into the environment'.
- Obligations to have a written undertaking from the chemical supplier or manufacturer if the chemical is a 'specified class of introduction' and the introducer does not have the necessary information.
- More information around record-keeping requirements for introduction of chemicals at the nanoscale.
Exempted introduction record-keeping checklists
- introductions where the highest indicative risk is very low
- polymers of low concern
- low-concern biological polymers
- introductions that are only for use in research and development
- chemicals that are comparable to listed chemicals
- polymers that are comparable to listed polymers
- chemicals resulting from non-functionalised surface treatment of listed chemicals
- chemicals that are imported and subsequently exported
