This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This certificate temporarily extends the lifespan of regulations governing industrial chemicals. Under Australian law, most regulations automatically expire ("sunset") after a set period unless they're actively reviewed and remade. This instrument pushes back the expiry date of the Industrial Chemicals (Notification and Assessment) Regulations 1990 by two years, from 1 October 2018 to 1 October 2020.
What this means:
This is administrative machinery—there are no changes to chemical safety rules, notification requirements, or assessment procedures themselves.
