Are you an AICIS registrant? You must provide information about any introduction of 522 listed PFAS
On 13 October 2025, our Executive Director initiated an evaluation on 522 per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in Australia under section 74 of the Industrial Chemicals Act 2019. As part of the evaluation, we require information on any introduction and use of these 522 listed PFAS between 1 September 2023 and 31 August 2025.
If you were registered with us during the 2023–24 and 2024–25 registration years, you should have received our email notice on 21 October 2025. You can use your unique link to the online electronic form in your email notice to give us the required information. Responses are due by 16 December 2025.
You must still respond to the notice even if you did not introduce any of the 522 listed PFAS, or if you don't know.
Thank you to the more than 20% of registrants that have responded so far. Your information will be valuable in our evaluation of these chemicals.
