28 Assessed introductions

An introduction of an industrial chemical by a person is authorised by this section if: (a) the person is the holder of an assessment certificate, or is covered by an assessment certificate, for the industrial chemical; and (b) the introduction is in accordance with the terms of the assessment certificate.

Note 1: An assessed introduction is generally an industrial chemical introduction that poses a medium to high risk to human health or the environment. If an introduction of an industrial chemical does not fall within the definition of an exempted or reported introduction and is not listed on the Inventory, it is generally an assessed introduction.

Note 2: A person can choose to apply for an assessment certificate for an introduction that would otherwise be authorised under another section in this Division: see Division 3.
