Kickstart your year with AICIS
Welcome to 2026! Now is a great time to check you’re across your AICIS obligations so you'll be ready for the new year.
Start by reading the basics of importing and manufacturing chemicals – it gives you an easy overview of essential requirements and where to go for more details. Whether you're new to the scheme or you just need a refresher, you should also get familiar with your reporting and record keeping obligations.
Did you know we have interactive decision tools to help you?
We understand that regulations can feel overwhelming. Our interactive decision tools make it easier to understand your obligations under AICIS. Use our decision tools for advice on a range of questions, such as:
Work out if your your product is a cosmetic (rather than a therapeutic).
Do I need to register as a soap introducer?
- Work out if you need to submit a specific information requirement (SIR) form for a chemical or a chemical previously assessed as a polymer of low concern.
