Variation to Inventory listing after evaluation - CAS numbers: 70693-64-0, 12222-80-9, 15141-18-1, 68516-81-4, 69766-79-6 and 72987-42-9

The specific requirement to provide information to AICIS as a term of the listing will be varied for:

  • benzenamine, N,N-diethyl-3-methyl-4-[2-(5-nitro-2-thiazolyl)diazenyl]- (CAS No. 70693-64-0)
  • C.I. Disperse Blue 82 (CAS No. 12222-80-9)
  • ethanol, 2-[ethyl[3-methyl-4-[2-(5-nitro-2-thiazolyl)diazenyl]phenyl]amino]-, 1-acetate (CAS No. 15141-18-1)
  • ethanol, 2-[ethyl[3-methyl-4-[2-(5-nitro-2-thiazolyl)diazenyl]phenyl]amino]- (CAS No. 68516-81-4)
  • 1,2-propanediol, 3-[ethyl[3-methyl-4-[2-(5-nitro-2-thiazolyl)diazenyl]phenyl]amino]- (CAS No. 69766-79-6)
  • ethanol, 2,2′-[[3-methyl-4-[2-(5-nitro-2-thiazolyl)diazenyl]phenyl]imino]bis- (CAS No. 72987-42-9)
    on the Australian Inventory of Industrial Chemicals (Inventory).

Reason for varying the Inventory listings

The Australian Industrial Chemical Introduction Scheme (AICIS) completed an evaluation under Part 4 of the Industrial Chemicals Act 2019 (IC Act). AICIS published its final evaluation statement on 16 December 2025, following public consultation. 

For the reasons set out in the conclusions section of the evaluation statement (page 10 paragraphs 2 and 3), the Executive Director of AICIS concluded that a variation to the Inventory terms of listing for these chemicals is necessary to manage the risks from the introduction of these chemicals. This includes amending the existing specific information requirements (SIR) for benzenamine, N,N-diethyl-3-methyl-4-[2-(5-nitro-2-thiazolyl)diazenyl]- (CAS No. 70693-64-0) and varying the terms of listing for the remaining chemicals to include a new SIR.

Therefore, the Executive Director is varying the terms of listing for these chemicals on the Inventory under section 86 of the IC Act.
