WHEREAS
The Act	The Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme (hereafter AICIS) operates in the Office of Chemical Safety in the Commonwealth of Australia, Department of Health and which Scheme is administered by the Executive Director pursuant to the Industrial Chemicals Act (2019) (hereafter the Act) and the Industrial Chemicals (General) Rules 2019.
Introducer	An Introducer must be registered with AICIS before introducing an industrial chemical during that year. Penalties apply if a person introduces an industrial chemical without being registered.
Executive Director	The Executive Director has monitoring, inspection and enforcement powers including civil penalty provisions and the use of infringement notices, enforceable undertakings and injunctions under the Regulatory Powers Act to ensure the Act is being complied with.
Failure to provide information	Failure to provide requested information contravenes the Act if the chemical has been introduced. The Act provides for penalties if introductions are not authorised. Any penalty under the Act prevents the Introducer from registering as an Introducer for three years.
Protected information	The Act (Section 115 Disclosing information) applies to protected information. Protected information means the Introducer and/or the Supplier have applied to the Executive Director to keep business information confidential.
Requested information	Information specified for Amyl ethyl ether which may be requested by the Executive Director depends upon those health/environment hazards and exposure/release characteristics which, together with how the chemical will be used, determined its categorisation of Reported - low risk .
