Once a chemical is added to the Inventory, manufacturers and importers of the relevant chemical must strictly comply with all applicable legal requirements to ensure that all operations meet national safety standards. Through these provisions, AICIS aims to improve the efficiency of industrial chemical management while ensuring that the use of these substances does not pose a risk to the environment or public health.
