Australia has initiated a four-week consultation over its proposed listing of two POP chemicals to the IChEMS Register. These are planned to become effective on July 1, 2026.
4月15日, 2024, 澳大利亚气候变化部, 能源, 环境与水(DCCEEW) 宣布 its proposed scheduling of Dechlorane +® 和 UV-328 to Schedule 6 under the Industrial Chemicals Environmental Management (Register) Instrument 2022 (IChEMS寄存器).
The IChEMS Register is a register where chemicals are assigned to one of seven schedules based on their risk characteristics, 正如在 IChEMS原则.
Schedule 6 chemicals are those with essential uses that are likely to cause serious or irreparable harm to the environment. Dechlorane +®, UV-328 和 products containing these chemicals will be prohibited from manufacture, 进口, 使用及出口, with derogations for unintentional trace contamination (UTC), 时间限制的必要使用和处置, 和 for articles (products) in use prior to the effective date of the decision.
Highlights of the risk management measures in the proposed scheduling of Dechlorane +® 和 UV-328 和 their uses are summarized in Tables 1 和 2, 分别.
表1. Risk management measures for Dechlorane +® 和 UV-328
| 物质 | 范围 | 要求 | 建议生效日期 |
| Dechlorane +® (DP, CAS 13560-89-9)及其两个异构体: •syn-DP (CAS 135821-03-3) •反dp (CAS 135821-74-8) | 物质 | 禁止 | 2026年7月1日 |
| Dechlorane +® (DP, CAS 13560-89-9)及其两个异构体: •syn-DP (CAS 135821-03-3) •反dp (CAS 135821-74-8) | 物质: •独立地 •混合物 •在冠词中 | 禁止, except its presence as a UTC is at a level that cannot be meaningfully used | 2026年7月1日 |
| UV-328 (ca 25973-55-1) | 物质 | 禁止 | 2026年7月1日 |
| UV-328 (ca 25973-55-1) | 物质: •独立地 •混合物 •在冠词中 | 禁止, except its presence as a UTC is at a level that cannot be meaningfully used | 2026年7月1日 |
1 制造
2 进口、出口和使用
表2. 使用decchlorane Plus®和UV-328
| 物质 | 应用程序 |
| Dechlorane +® (a polychlorinated flame retardant) | •粘合剂、密封剂和聚合物(塑料) • Electrical 和 electronic equipment including consumer electronics • Fabrics, 文本iles, apparels 和 plastic articles • Insulation coating for cables 和 wires in the automotive industry •监测仪器 •聚合物和塑料模具 |
| UV-328(紫外线吸收剂) | • Chemical products such as automotive fluids 和 lubricants, 香水, 油墨, 油漆, 稀释剂和清漆 •织物和纺织品 • Industrial sealants in aftermarket automotive products • Liquid crystal displays (LCD) in electronic equipment 和 devices •相纸 • Printing 油墨 和 adhesives in food contact materials •表面涂料、油漆和塑料 |
Information on essential uses of these two chemicals in Australia can be found in the proposed scheduling.
The DCCEEW announcement also consults over three chemicals that present a lower risk to the environment:
- 三聚氰胺 和 硼酸及其前体 are proposed to be listed under Schedule 2 of the IChEMS Register, a category for chemicals that are unlikely to cause harm to the environment
- β丙氨酸 is intended to be added to Schedule 3 of the IChEMS Register, a category for chemicals that have the potential to cause harm to the environment
These three lower concern chemicals are required to comply with the 化学品最低标准, 联邦一致同意的一套标准, state 和 territory environmental regulators as published by the department 和 as existing from time to time.
Comments for all five chemicals will be accepted until May 13, 2024.
