43 Other introductions where the highest indicative risk is low risk
(1) This section applies if: (a) an introduction of an industrial chemical is a reported introduction by a person in accordance with step 6 of the method statement in section 24; and (b) item 6 of the table in subsection 28(1) and item 9 of the table in subsection 29(1) do not apply to the introduction.
Note: Item 6 of the table in subsection 28(1) deals with industrial chemicals that are internationally‑assessed for human health, and item 9 of the table in subsection 29(1) deals with industrial chemicals that are internationally‑assessed for the environment.
(2) For the purposes of paragraph 97(2)(b) of the Act, the information mentioned in an item of the following table is prescribed.
