PURITY OF THE CHEMICAL Degree of Purity: >99 % Toxic or Hazardous none Impurities: none Non-hazardous Impurities (> 1% by weight): Additives/Adjuvants: the notified chemical will be imported as a component, 0.1 % to 25 %, of a number of compounded fragrances; the identity of the other components of the compounded fragrances has not been disclosed USE, VOLUME AND FORMULATION The notified chemical will be used as an aroma chemical and will be blended with other such chemicals to produce compounded fragrances for products such as soaps, detergents and air fresheners. The notified chemical will comprise 0.1 % to 25 % of the compounded fragrances, with a typical level being around 5 %. The end use products will reportedly commonly contain 1-2 % of the fragrance mixture, therefore a maximum of 0.5 % of the notified chemical. This maximum concentration is only likely to be approached in solid air fresheners. The compounded fragrances will not be manufactured in Australia. The import volumes are estimated to be 250 kg per annum in the first 3 years, possibly reaching 500 kg per annum after this time. The import volumes are estimates for the volume of notified chemical in the imported fragrance mixtures. OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE The compounded fragrances will be imported in 200 L polythene or lacquer lined steel drums. No exposure of the compounded fragrances containing the notified chemical to waterside, transport or warehouse workers is expected except in the case of an accident involving spillage. The notified chemical is likely to be used as a component of the fragrance for a wide variety of products for household use. The fragrances will be blended into the consumer products by a number of customers a variety of mixing techniques. It is estimated that between 5 and 20 process workers will be exposed to the notified chemical at each production line where it is used. The notifier has provided a description of the type of operation which will be carried out in the production of several types of product containing the notified chemical. The examples
