Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a formal proclamation that activates part of Australia's industrial chemical safety laws. It sets 9 August 2004 as the start date for Schedule 1 of the Industrial Chemicals (Notification and Assessment) Amendment (Low Regulatory Concern Chemicals) Act 2004.

What this does:

It brings into force amendments that create a streamlined approval process for "low regulatory concern chemicals" (industrial substances considered low-risk to human health and the environment).
This official notice is required to "switch on" the legislative changes, allowing the new regulatory framework to operate from the specified date.
The Governor-General exercises this power under a specific provision in the amending Act that allows flexible commencement dates.
