Under Australian law, most regulations automatically expire (\"sunset\") after a set period unless they're actively reviewed and remade. This instrument pushes back the expiry date of the *Industrial Chemicals (Notification and Assessment) Regulations 1990* by two years, from 1 October 2018 to 1 October 2020.\n\n**What this means:**\n- The existing rules for notifying and assessing industrial chemicals remain in force for an extra two years\n- This gives the government time to review or replace these regulations properly\n- The certificate itself disappears (is repealed) the day after the new sunset date\n\nThis is administrative machinery—there are no changes to chemical safety rules, notification requirements, or assessment procedures themselves."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/legislation-deferral-of-sunsetting-industrial-chemicals-notification-and-assessment-regulations-cert","history":"/api/acts/legislation-deferral-of-sunsetting-industrial-chemicals-notification-and-assessment-regulations-cert/history","analysis":"/api/acts/legislation-deferral-of-sunsetting-industrial-chemicals-notification-and-assessment-regulations-cert/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/legislation-deferral-of-sunsetting-industrial-chemicals-notification-and-assessment-regulations-cert/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/legislation-deferral-of-sunsetting-industrial-chemicals-notification-and-assessment-regulations-cert/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/legislation-deferral-of-sunsetting-industrial-chemicals-notification-and-assessment-regulations-cert/documents"}}
