57 Other introductions where highest indicative risk is low risk

(1) This section applies if: (a) an introduction of an industrial chemical by a person is a reported introduction 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 104(2)(b) of the Act, the kinds of record mentioned in an item of the following table are prescribed.
