Variation to Inventory listing after evaluation - CAS number 616-45-5
An obligation to provide specific information to AICIS will be added to the terms of listing for 2-pyrrolidinone (CAS No. 616-45-5) on the Australian Inventory of Industrial Chemicals (Inventory).
Reason for varying the Inventory listing
AICIS completed an evaluation under Part 4 of the Industrial Chemicals Act 2019 (IC Act) and published its final evaluation statement on 26 June 2026, following public consultation.
For the reasons set out in the conclusions section of the evaluation statement (page 8 paragraph 5), the Executive Director of AICIS concluded that a variation to the Inventory terms of listing for the chemical is necessary to manage the risks from the introduction of the chemical.
