workplace practices and control procedures consistent with provisions of State and Territory hazardous substances legislation must be in operation. Disposal The notified polymer should be disposed of to landfill or by re-refining or authorised incineration. Emergency procedures Spills or accidental release of the notified polymer should be handled by physical containment, collection and subsequent safe disposal. Regulatory Obligations Secondary Notification This risk assessment is based on the information available at the time of notification. The Director may call for the reassessment of the chemical under secondary notification provisions based on changes in certain circumstances. Under Section 64 of the the Industrial Chemicals (Notification and Assessment) Act (1989) notifier, as well as any other importer or manufacturer of the notified chemical, have post-assessment regulatory obligations to notify NICNAS when any of these circumstances change. These obligations apply even when the notified chemical is listed on the Australian Inventory of Chemical Substances (AICS). Therefore, the Director of NICNAS must be notified in writing within 28 days by the notifier, other importer or manufacturer: (1) Under Section 64(2) of the Act; if the function or use of the chemical has changed from a viscosity modifier in automatic transmission fluids for vehicles (lubricant additive) at < 2%, or is likely to change significantly; the amount of chemical being introduced has increased from 3 tonnes per year, or is likely to increase, significantly; if the chemical has begun to be manufactured in Australia; additional information has become available to the person as to an adverse effect of the chemical on occupational health and safety, public health, or the environment. The Director will then decide whether a reassessment (i.e. a secondary notification and assessment) is required. No additional secondary notification conditions are stipulated. Material Safety Data Sheet The MSDS of the products containing the notified polymer provided by the notifier were reviewed by NICNAS. The accuracy of the information on the MSDS remains the responsibility of the applicant. Extension Application The extension applicant has provided an MSDS for a product containing the notified polymer. The accuracy of the information on the MSDS remains the responsibility of the extension applicant.
