This Part sets out the Executive Director's powers to initiate, at any time, evaluations of industrial chemicals and matters relating to industrial chemicals.

There are 2 separate processes for conducting evaluations. The first is for industrial chemicals that are subject to an assessment certificate. The Executive Director is required to consult with the assessment certificate holders as part of this process.

The second is for any other industrial chemicals or matters relating to industrial chemicals. The Executive Director must publish certain information on the AICIS website about a proposed evaluation.

The Executive Director must publish the outcomes of an evaluation in an evaluation statement.

An evaluation under this Part   is necessary for the Executive Director to initiate variations to the terms of assessment certificates or Inventory listings.

An evaluation under this Part   is also necessary for the cancellation of an assessment certificate, or removal of an Inventory listing, on the Executive Director's initiative.
