National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme : ウィキペディア英語版 | National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme
The National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme (NICNAS) is the Australian government’s regulatory body for industrial chemicals.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nicnas.gov.au/About_NICNAS/About_NICNAS_Brochure_PDF.pdf )〕 NICNAS is designed to help protect workers, the public and the environment from the harmful effects of industrial chemicals. It does so by making risk assessment and safety information on chemicals widely available and providing recommendations for their safe use. NICNAS also informs importers and manufacturers of their legal responsibilities. == History == Despite an extensive history of chemical manufacture, use, import and export, it was not until the advancement in manufacturing technologies and processes in the mid 20th century that the value of chemical assessment and regulation was fully realised. Industrial chemical assessment and regulation is still a relatively new phenomenon for many governments including Australia because, prior to the establishment of industrial chemical legislation, these substances were not subject to the governmental review that other types of chemicals were (such as pesticides and pharmaceuticals). In 1989, the Australian government enacted the ''Industrial Chemicals (Notification and Assessment) Act 1989'' (ICNA Act),〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/C2011C00204 )〕 which led to the establishment of NICNAS in 1990. Since then, the Australian government has continued to improve the assessment, regulation and management of industrial chemicals for the protection of human health and safety. The Rio Earth Summit in 1992 led to the remodelling of chemical assessment regimes under cooperative agreements with New Zealand, Canada and the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.environment.gov.au/settlements/chemicals/publications/pubs/profile.pdf )〕
