109 When an AACN or generalised end use must be used
(1) The Executive Director must, during the period mentioned in subsection (3), publish an AACN for an industrial chemical in lieu of the proper name (including the CAS name, CAS number or molecular formula) for the industrial chemical if: (a) the Executive Director approves an application made under subsection 105(1) for the proper name for the industrial chemical to be treated as confidential business information; and (b) circumstances prescribed by the rules for the purposes of this paragraph apply. (2) The Executive Director must, during the period mentioned in subsection (3), publish a generalised end use for an industrial chemical in lieu of the end use for an industrial chemical if: (a) the Executive Director approves an application made under subsection 105(2) for the end use for the industrial chemical to be treated as confidential business information; and (b) circumstances prescribed by the rules for the purposes of this paragraph apply. (3) The period: (a) begins on the day notice of the approval is given under subsection 108(2); and (b) ends on the day: (i) notice of revocation of the approval is given under subsection 111(9); or (ii) the approval is taken to be revoked under subsection 111(11). (4) This section applies: (a) subject to Subdivision C; and (b) despite any other provision of this Act which requires the proper name (including the CAS name, CAS number or molecular formula) or end use (as the case requires) for the industrial chemical to be published. (5) To avoid doubt, nothing in this section is taken to change the terms of an assessment certificate, a commercial evaluation authorisation, an Inventory listing or a pre‑introduction report.
