1 SECONDARY NOTIFICATION OF INFINEUM C9350 (PREVIOUSLY
KNOWN AS PARABAR 9350)
In accordance with section 65(2) of the Industrial Chemicals (Notification and Assessment)
Act, 1989 (the Act), as amended, notice is given that the Director requires the secondary
notification of the existing chemical Infineum C9350. There is no Chemical Abstracts
Service (CAS) Registry number assigned for this chemical.
Additional Studies Available for C9350
Infineum C9350 was assessed as a new industrial chemical (NA/486) under the trade name
Parabar 9350 and a report published in September 1999. The assessment recommended that
the chemical be classified as a skin sensitiser with the risk phrase R43, though shortcomings
were noted in the skin sensitization studies submitted. Since the publication of the NICNAS
report, Infineum Australia Pty Limited, has made additional data on skin sensitisation
available to the Director. This information includes a more detailed Human Repeated Insult
Patch test report than was available for the original assessment.
Reasons for Secondary Notification
The Director has decided that a secondary notification for Infineum C9350 is required
because the additional data now provided has relevance to the hazardous nature of the
chemical as determined under the NOHSC framework for Hazardous Substances in the
Workplace.
Requirement to apply for secondary notification
In accordance with section 65(3) of the Act, an application for secondary notification must be
made by all persons who introduce Infineum C9350 into Australia, either by import or
manufacture. There is a penalty for failure to comply with the requirement for secondary
notification. The penalty for non-compliance may include prohibition from further
importation or manufacture.
Application for secondary notification and information required
Secondary notification must be made to the Director by means of an application for
secondary notification assessment for an existing chemical, accompanied by any information
relevant to an assessment of Infineum C9350 which was not originally covered in the 1999
assessment report.
In addition Infineum Australia Pty Limited must provide information on the following:
?Quantities of Infineum C9350 and products containing Infineum C9350 imported
into Australia
?Concentration of Infineum C9350 in the products
?Uses of Infineum C9350 and mode of use
?any information on assessments/reviews conducted by overseas regulatory
authorities.
The secondary notification application form can be found on the NICNAS website at:

5 AUDITED SELF-ASSESSMENT ?FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Audited self-assessment applications for certificate notifications were introduced under the
Industrial Chemicals (Notification and Assessment) Amendment (Low Regulatory Concern
Chemicals) Act 2004. Audited self-assessment allows industry to self-assess low regulatory
concern chemicals against specified criteria and provide an assessment report which is
screened by NICNAS and the Department of the Environment and Heritage prior to
publication.
Since its introduction, industry's interest in audited self-assessments has been steadily
increasing. This notice has been prepared to answer some of the common questions regarding
self-assessments.
1) What are the benefits of self-assessment?
Self-assessments introduce flexibility into the current assessment process for industrial
chemicals and enable the fast tracking of low regulatory concern chemicals while maintaining
existing levels of worker safety, public health and environmental standards. In addition to a
reduced fee, certificates for self-assessed applications are issued within 28 days of receipt of
an accepted application (please note that as revision of the application may be required, this
may not be the date of the original submission).
2) Which chemicals are eligible for self-assessment applications?
At present, self-assessed applications can be submitted for polymers of low concern (PLC),
non-hazardous chemicals and non-hazardous polymers. However, a chemical or polymer will
not be accepted as a self-assessment, if the chemical or polymer can be predicted to be
persistent and bioaccumulative or to have breakdown products which can be predicted to be
persistent and bioaccumulative.
3) How do I determine if my chemical is eligible for self-assessment?
PLC: The criteria for PLCs can be found in Appendix 10 of the Handbook for Notifiers.
Non-hazardous chemicals/polymers: the onus is on the applicant to demonstrate the non-
hazardous nature of the chemical/polymer. Subsection 5(2) of the Industrial Chemicals
(Notification and Assessment) Act 1989 (the Act) contains a definition of `non-hazardous
chemical'. Certain data must be available to the Notifier to demonstrate that a chemical or
polymer is non-hazardous under the Act (see chapter 5.6.3 of the Handbook for Notifiers for
details).
Persistence and bioaccumulation: The Information Requirements and Screening Criteria of
Annex D to the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants include criteria for
persistence and bioaccumulation (see NICNAS Gazette of 6th January 2004).
Chemicals/Polymers that exceed these criteria are ineligible for audited self-assessment. The
criteria for persistence are half-lives of more than 2 months in water and more than 6 months
in soil or sediment. For bioaccumulation, the criterion is a bioconcentration factor of 5000
or, in the absence of such data, a log Kow (n-octanol/water partition coefficient) of 5. Note
that these criteria are not exclusive. Other evidence of persistence or bioaccumulation, such
as monitoring data, may also exclude chemicals/polymers from the audited self-assessment
option.
Chemical Gazette Commonwealth of Australia Gazette
No. C 07, 5 July 2005
14
The twelve persistent organic pollutants listed initially under the Stockholm Convention are
highly chlorinated. More recently, concerns regarding persistent and bioaccumulative
properties have been raised for polybrominated and polyfluorinated compounds. Polymers
tend not to be bioaccumulative as they do not cross biological membranes, but their
degradation products may be persistent and bioaccumulative. This is particularly the case for
polymers with perfluoroalkyl groups.
Aquatic exposure: Chemicals and polymers may in certain circumstances be excluded from
the self-assessment option if their use pattern is likely to lead to direct and widely dispersive
release to natural waterways.
4) What are my obligations?
In order to ensure the robustness and integrity of the self-assessment process, holders of a
self-assessed assessment certificate will be subject to NICNAS audits. The holder of the
certificate is responsible for the content of the self-assessment report. Under the Act, the
holder of a self-assessed assessment certificate must keep records to support any statement
made in or in connection with the application for the certificate, for 5 years from the date the
certificate is issued and also must provide a report to the Director at the end of each
registration year. This report must state the following:
a. the name of the chemical/polymer in respect of which the certificate is issued; and
b. the volume of the chemical/polymer that was introduced during the year; and
c. any adverse effect of the chemical/polymer on occupational health and safety, public
health or the environment of which the person has become aware during the year.
5) What should my application include?
The application should be prepared using the electronic template (Form 1-PLC Self
Assessment or Form 1-Self-Assessment non PLC available at the forms section of the
NICNAS website). All sections of the template should be completed. Applications requiring a
variation to data requirements will not be accepted as self-assessments. Guidance to help
complete the template is available on the NICNAS website as is an example notification for
PLC self-assessments. If there is a requirement for information to be held confidential, a
Form 3 should also be submitted. The only other document required is the MSDS for the
chemical/polymer and all commercially available products containing the chemical/polymer.
No other supporting data should be sent.
6) Do I need to provide supporting data with my application?
All the information to support the application should be adequately reported in the electronic
template. Other than the MSDS, no supporting data such as physicochemical and
toxicological studies should be sent with the application. If supporting data are submitted
with the application then this application would not be considered a self-assessed application.
Supporting data should however be held by the notifier for a period of 5 years for audit
purposes (see "What are my obligations?" above).
7) Can I apply for a variation of data requirements?
Waivers of test requirements or substitution of analogue or product results are not possible
for the self assessment scheme as case by case NICNAS assessment would be required.
However, where the data requirements are not feasible or relevant e.g. particle size when a
polymer is not extracted from solution, this would not be considered a variation by NICNAS.
8) Can two or more notifiers submit a joint self-assessed application?
No, there is no provision under the Act for joint self-assessed applications.
Chemical Gazette Commonwealth of Australia Gazette
No. C 07, 5 July 2005
15
9) Is it possible for a third party to supply confidential information directly to
NICNAS?
Under the Act, a person who is issued a self-assessed assessment certificate must keep
records to support any statement made in or in connection with the application for the
certificate. As such applications where data is exempt from the notifier cannot be accepted as
self-assessment.
10) What happens if my application is not accepted as a self-assessment?
If the application is not accepted as a self-assessment, NICNAS will write to you outlining
the reasons for the decision. Upon request, the self-assessment application may be moved to
the non-self assessed system, provided the difference in fees is paid. Further information may
be required by NICNAS to commence/complete the assessment.
For more information on self-assessment certificates, see Chapters 5.3.1 (PLC) and Chapter
5.6.3 (non-hazardous chemicals/polymers) of the NICNAS Handbook for Notifiers.

6 PROPOSED LOWERING OF THE AUSTRALIAN HIGH VOLUME
CHEMICAL LIST REPORTING THRESHOLD
The first Australian High Volume Industrial Chemicals List (HVICL) was completed and
published by NICNAS in July 2002. The list contains information about the volume of the
chemicals manufactured or imported at high volumes in Australia, which industries introduce
the chemicals, and general uses of the chemicals. The list, available at
http://www.nicnas.gov.au/Industry/High_Volume_Industrial_Chemicals.asp, has proved to
be a useful source of information, for both NICNAS and the community.
The HVICL is to be updated every three years with the next update due to begin in early
2006. The updated list will enable NICNAS to continue its support of international
assessment of chemicals of particular importance to the Australian industry, the community
and the environment. The Australian HVICL is a means of addressing the increasing public
demand for easily accessible information on chemicals. Further, the HVICL provides vital
chemical statistics for NICNAS in ascertaining priority chemicals for review and/or ongoing
regulatory action.
The reporting threshold for the previous HVICL collection was originally proposed to be 20
tonnes/year/company, but was raised to 100 tonnes/year/company to allow industry to
prepare reporting statistics in a timely manner in what was an establishment period for this
program. NICNAS has monitored chemical data over the past two years and believe that this
threshold is too high to provide an accurate representation of the entire industry. Security
issues highlighted recently have also emphasized the need for a more thorough understanding
of the scale of chemical imports and manufacture across the industry. Therefore, it is
proposed that the reporting threshold for discrete chemicals (i.e. not formulated products) be
lowered to 20 tonnes/year/company for the 2006 HVICL for both import and manufacture.
The threshold for reporting of chemicals in mixtures/products will remain at 100
tonnes/year/company.
NICNAS is seeking comment from industry on the proposed lowering of the threshold to 20
tonnes for discrete chemicals. Comments must be provided in writing to the action officer,
Lewis Norman, by 2 August 2005.
More information on the Australian HVICL is available on the NICNAS website at
http://www.nicnas.gov.au/Industry/High_Volume_Industrial_Chemicals.asp.

lubricant oils in 200 L steel drums. No reformulating will occur, but the finished oil will be
repackaged into 1 L plastic bottles.
Dermal exposure to drips and spills, although expected to be low, is the predominant route of
exposure for workers involved in repackaging the imported oil containing the notified
chemical, in its end use applications and during its disposal. Ocular exposure is also possible.
Inhalation exposure is expected to be minimal because the notified chemical and the finished
oil are viscous, therefore, have reduced potential to generate aerosols. In addition, the notified
chemical has very low vapour pressure, so vapour accumulation in the workplace air is not
likely. Standard local exhaust systems exist in repackaging facilities, which serve to further
reduce inhalation exposure. During repackaging activities the notifier recommends that
workers wear chemical impervious gloves and industrial clothing, to minimise dermal
exposure. Given the low hazard associated with the notified chemical, intermittent low level
exposure and low concentration of the notified chemical in the oil, the occupational health
risk posed to workers performing these tasks is considered to be low.
Under normal working conditions, waterside, transport and storage workers are unlikely to be
exposed to the notified chemical and the occupational health risk posed to these workers is
considered negligible.
Various skin lesions can occur from dermal contact with petroleum based oils. The notifier
indicates that workers involved in repackaging of the finished oil are required to wear
chemical impervious gloves and standard industrial work clothes. However, to minimise the
occurrence of occupational dermatoses, protective gloves and overalls are recommended for
all workers who may experience dermal exposure to the finished oil containing the notified
chemical. Workers should be instructed to follow good hygiene practices to control dermal
exposure to oils and to remove any oil that has come into contact with the skin as soon as
Chemical Gazette Commonwealth of Australia Gazette

practicable with soap and water. Workers should be advised of the potential for occupational
dermatoses following repeated skin exposure to petroleum based products and to report any
skin changes to the occupational health and safety officer at their workplace. Further
guidance on preventing the occurrence of occupational skin diseases can be found in the
NOHSC guide Occupational Diseases of the Skin. The notifier's MSDS outlines first aid
measures in the event of eye contact.
Public Health
In the ordinary course of events, use of the notified chemical will be limited to members of
the public who practice home vehicle maintenance. In these cases any exposure to the
finished oil containing the notified chemical is likely be dermal, infrequent and transient. On
the basis of the above information and the low toxicity of the notified chemical, it is
considered that the notified chemical will not pose a significant hazard to public health when
used as intended.
Environmental Effects
The environmental hazard from the notified chemical is considered to be small provided that
the material is used as indicated, and that disposal of used oil takes place via the routes
indicated in this report. As a component of automotive lubricants, the notified chemical has
the potential to be released to the environment during lubricant change, but losses during
lubricant formulation and transfer to engine crankcases would be small. It is expected that
around 86% of the notified chemical would be destroyed through incineration and/or oil
recycling activities. About 14% of the material will be used by automobile enthusiasts, and it
is expected that much of this, up to 50% (ie. 7% of the total import volume), will be released
through disposal into landfill, stormwater drains, and other routes. If deposited into landfill
the material will be immobilised through adsorption onto soil particles. The notified chemical
is not readily biodegradable, but in a landfill is expected to be slowly degraded through
micro-biological and abiotic processes. Incineration would produce water vapour and oxides
of carbon.
Approximately 5% of the waste oil produced by DIY enthusiasts may be disposed to
waterways via the stormwater system. This equates to less than 1 tonne of the notified
chemical that could be expected to enter the aquatic environment. The notified chemical is
not toxic to fish or algae up to the limit of its water solubility, but may be very highly toxic to
daphnia, based on measured concentrations. However, due to its high Pow and high
hydrocarbon content the notified chemical would be expected to become associated with
suspended organic material which would settle out into the sediments and eventually
biodegrade to carbon dioxide, methane and water.
The notified chemical is not likely to present a hazard to the environment when it is stored,
transported and used in the proposed manner.

submitted a standard notification statement in support of their application for an assessment
certificate for "Phosphoric Trichloride, Reaction Products with Bisphenol A and Phenol".
The notified chemical is intended to be used as a halogen-free flame retardant for
polycarbonate/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene blend (PC/ABS) and polystyrene/
polyphenylene oxide blend (PS/PPO) resin systems. Less than 50 tonnes of the notified
chemical will be imported per annum for the first five years.
Since granting of the abovementioned Assessment Certificate, Duromer Products Pty Ltd
(ABN 64 001 125 088) of 16 Leeds Street, Rhodes, NSW, 2138 has submitted a notification
statement in support of their application for an extension of the original Assessment
Certificate for for "Phosphoric Trichloride, Reaction Products with Bisphenol A and Phenol".
Plastral Fidene Pty Ltd has agreed to this extension. Information submitted by Duromer
Products Pty Ltd pertains to the introduction of the notified chemical for use as a flame
retardant in the manufacture of plastic electronic enclosures. Between 10-30 tonnes of the
notified chemical will be imported per annum for the first five years.
ASSESSMENT OF PUBLIC, OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY AND
ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
Hazard Assessment
The notified chemical was of very low acute oral toxicity and low acute dermal toxicity in
rats. It was slightly irritating to rabbit skin and eye and non-sensitising to guinea pig skin. In
a 28-day repeat dose oral toxicity study in rats, a NOAEL of 1 000 mg/kg/day, the highest
dose tested, was established. The notified chemical was not mutagenic in bacteria, and not
clastogenic in a CHO cell chromosomal aberration assay or in a mouse micronucleus assay.
Based on the available studies, the notified chemical is not considered to be a hazardous
substance according to NOHSC Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances.
Occupational Health and Safety
Exposure to the notified chemical is not expected during transport or storage as long as the
packaging remains intact. The risk of adverse health effects for transport and storage workers
is considered to be low.
In the event that the chemical is not introduced in compounded plastic articles, but as a liquid
for processing into formulated resin articles (original applicant) or plastic pellets (extension
applicant), dermal exposure may occur when opening drums and connecting and
disconnecting suction pumps during transfer operations. The blending and extrusion
processes are described as enclosed and automated, therefore further exposure would be
limited. The preparation of the moulded and extruded finished articles from resin is
performed in purpose built facilities fitted with vacuum extraction equipment, to minimise
release of fugitive particulate material. Workers handling the notified chemical will wear
protective equipment including chemical impermeable gloves, safety glasses and overalls.
Chemical Gazette Commonwealth of Australia Gazette
No. C 07, 5 July 2005
51
The risk to these workers is considered to be low due to the use of engineering controls and
PPE to limit exposure and the expected low toxicity of the notified chemical.
The risk to workers handling the notified chemical in pellet form is expected to be negligible
as the notified chemical is not considered to be bioavailable in this form.
Occupational exposure to the notified chemical cannot occur after the articles are made since
the notified chemical is encapsulated within the finished plastic articles. In this form, the
notified chemical is not bioavailable, hence health risk to workers is expected to be
negligible.
Public Health
The notified chemical is not available for sale to the general public but will be used as a
flame retardant ingredient in compounded plastic components of computers, computer
monitors and televisions that may be publicly available. The risk to public health from the
notified chemical is likely to be low because the notified chemical is physically contained
within the plastic matrix and is unlikely to be bioavailable.
Environmental Effects
The environmental hazard from the notified chemical is not expected to be high when it is
used for the manufacture of plastic cases for electronic equipment. Very little of the chemical
is expected to be released during manufacturing processes, estimated at around 1% of import
quantities per manufacture step, or a maximum of 1100 kg (500 kg original applicant, 600 kg
extension applicant per year. However, some slow release of the chemical may occur as a
result of everyday use and cleaning of the polymer articles which is likely to enter the sewer
system with discarded cleaning water. In the sewer the chemical will become strongly
associated with sediments.
Plastic articles containing the new chemical are unlikely to be recycled. At the end of their
useful lives, they will most likely be discarded to landfill or incinerated. Notified chemical
placed into landfill will be slowly released as a consequence of the slow degradation of the
polymer matrix in which it is encapsulated. It is expected to become associated with the
organic component of soils and sediments, and is unlikely to be mobile. The chemical is not
readily biodegradable, and is only slowly degraded by sewage bacteria. In landfill, it is
expected to be slowly degraded through the biological and abiotic processes.
The notified chemical has low water solubility, and little is expected to be released to the
water compartment. The chemical is not toxic up to the limit of its water solubility to those
aquatic species against which it has been tested, and release to the water appears to entail low
environmental hazard. The notified chemical has a high octanol/water partition coefficient,
low water solubility and moderate molecular weight, suggesting a large potential for
bioaccumulation. However, as very little of the compound is expected to enter the water
compartment, exposure to aquatic organisms will be low, mitigating the bioaccumulation
potential.

RECOMMENDATIONS
To minimise occupational exposure to "Phosphoric trichloride, reaction products with
bisphenol A and phenol" the following guidelines and precautions should be observed:
Safety goggles should be selected and fitted in accordance with Australian Standard
?br>

footwear should conform to AS/NZS 2210;
Spillage of the notified chemical should be avoided. Spillages should be cleaned up
?br>
promptly with absorbents which should be put into containers for disposal;
A copy of the MSDS should be easily accessible to employees.
?br>
If products containing the notified chemical are hazardous to health in accordance with the
NOHSC Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances, workplace practices and
control procedures consistent with State and Territory hazardous substances regulations must
be in operation.

Since granting of the abovementioned Assessment Certificate, Mobil Oil Australia Pty Ltd
(ABN 99 004 052 984) of 29 Francis Street, Yarraville VIC 3013 has submitted a notification
statement in support of their application for an extension of the original Assessment
Certificate for New OLOA 271. Chevron Chemical Australia has agreed to this extension.
Information submitted by Mobil Oil Australia Pty Ltd pertains to the introduction of the
notified chemical as an additive for marine diesel oil lubricants. Introduction volumes will be
up to 1000 tonnes per year.
ASSESSMENT OF PUBLIC, OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY AND
ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
Hazard Assessment
By analogy, the toxicity of the notified chemical is not expected to differ substantially from
that of OLOA 271 (NA/692). The notified chemical analogue displayed very low acute oral
and low dermal toxicity in the rat. No acute inhalation toxicity data were provided. In rabbits,
the notified chemical induced moderate and persistent skin irritation and slight to moderate
eye irritation.
Slight skin sensitisation properties were indicated in a Magnusson and Kligman guinea pig
maximisation test and a Buehler test. Data are insufficient for classification of the notified
chemical as a skin sensitiser.
In a 28 day repeat dose oral rat study, a NOAEL of 100mg/kg/day was derived for the
notified chemical analogue on the basis of pathological and biochemical changes at a mid and
high dose and clinical signs of salivation and hair loss at all doses.
Genotoxicity data provided for the notified chemical analogue showed that it was not
mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli reverse mutation assays either in
the presence or absence of metabolic activation. Also, it was not clastogenic in an in vivo
mouse micronucleus assay and an in vitro human lymphocyte chromosome aberration test.
Extrapolating from the toxicological data provided for the analogue and in accord with the
NOHSC Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances the notified chemical is
classified Irritant (Xi) with the risk phrases R38 - Irritating to Skin.

Occupational Health and Safety
The blending of imported New OLOA 271 and additive packages containing New OLOA
271 at 60?0% (45-65% notified chemical) into marine diesel engine lubricants will occur in
automated, closed systems. Exposure to the notified chemical will be limited to incidental
skin and to a lesser extent eye contact during procedures involved in connection and
disconnection of pump lines and during sampling for laboratory analysis. Other scenarios of
exposure to the notified chemical are at concentrations of less than 20% and also limited to
incidental skin contact. Overall, the toxicological profile, mode of use, use of personal
protective gear and in situ engineering controls indicate that significant risks to human health
through occupational exposure to the notified chemical are unlikely. Control measures are
required to reduce the risk of skin irritation and the potential, albeit slight, for skin
sensitisation.
Public Health
The notified chemical is not available for sale to the public. Since it will be used in marine
vessel engines not handled by the public, the risk of exposure of the public to the notified
chemical is considered to be low. The notified chemical will not pose a significant risk to
public health when used in the proposed manner.
Environmental Effects
The environmental hazard from the notified chemical is considered to be low provided that
the material is used as a component of marine diesel engine lubricants. Release to the
environment is expected to occur only in the unlikely event of an accident during transport or
an accidental leak. It is expected that minimal waste will be generated from lubricant
formulation and use, and this waste would either be incinerated or placed into landfill.
Very little release is anticipated from maintenance activities. Used oil generated from the
draining of oil or engine repair will be incinerated or sent for recycling.
The chemical is expected to have a high log Pow value and if released to the soil compartment
would become strongly associated with the organic component of soils and sediments and is
not expected to be mobile in these media.
The notified chemical is not readily biodegradable, however if released to landfill or if
associated with soil, it is expected to slowly degrade through the biotic and abiotic processes
resulting in the formation of water, and oxides of carbon, with the calcium component
associating with soil minerals. Incineration would lead to water vapour and oxides of carbon,
with the calcium being assimilated into ash.
From the ecotoxicity data provided New OLOA 271 is not expected to be toxic to fish, algae
or bacteria up to the limit of its water solubility, but does show toxicity to daphnia below this
limit. The expected high partition coefficient and low biodegradability of the notified
chemical indicate the potential for bioaccumulation if spilt into waterways. However, very
little of the chemical is likely to reach the aquatic compartment and a hazard to aquatic
organisms is not considered likely.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Workers should receive regular instruction on good occupational hygiene practices in
?br>
order to minimise personal contact, and contamination of the work environment with
lubricant material;
Chemical impervious clothing and gloves are necessary to prevent skin contact -
?br>
consideration should be given to the ambient environment, physical requirements and
other substances present when selecting protective clothing and gloves. The notifier
recommends Viton, nitrile, silver shield gloves. Good hygiene practices dictate that
eye protection be worn routinely. Workers should be trained in the proper fit, correct
use and maintenance of their protective gear;
Spillage of the notified chemical should be avoided. Spillages should be cleaned up
?br>
promptly with absorbents which should then be put into containers for disposal;
A copy of the MSDS should be easily accessible to employees.
?br>
New OLOA 271 is determined to be a hazardous substance. The finished lubricant may also
contain other hazardous ingredients. Therefore, workplace practices, control procedures and
hazard communication products consistent with provisions of State, Territory and
Commonwealth legislation based on the NOHSC National Model Regulations for the Control
of Workplace Hazardous Substances must be in operation.
Guidance in selection of protective eyewear may be obtained from Australian Standard (AS)
