The Industrial Chemicals Environmental Management (Register) Instrument of of Australia testing service

Service Background:

On March 23, 2022, the Australian government released Australia’s industrial chemicals roadmap to implement the Australian Industrial Chemicals Environmental Management Standards (IChEMS), which outlines the key steps, roles, and responsibilities for transitioning to IChEMS. The Industrial Chemicals Environmental Management (Register) Instrument includes 7 schedules, with stricter control over industrial chemicals that are likely to cause serious or irreversible harm to humans and the environment. The most environmentally sensitive industrial chemicals are listed in schedules 6 and 7, and all uses of the chemicals listed in schedules 6 and 7 should be phased out.
