Thank you to everyone who provided feedback during the consultation. We've finalised planned changes to the AICIS Industrial Chemicals Categorisation Guidelines which will take effect in September 2026.

Key changes:

  • List of chemicals with high hazards for categorisation: 293 new entries and updates to 122 existing entries.
  • Addition of 5 chemicals to part 6.5.2 of the Guidelines: Information required to demonstrate the absence of developmental toxicity.
  • Revised definition of 'chemical identity holder'.
