PFOS and its salts are fully fluorinated (eight- carbon chain length) organic compounds.
PFOS-related/PFOS based substances are simple salts of PFOS, e.g., potassium, lithium,
ammonium, diethanolamine, potassium, or polymers that contain PFOS as only a portion
of the entire polymer. The majority of PFOS-related substances are high molecular
weight polymers in which PFOS represents a fraction of the total polymer weight.
PFAS is a generic term used to describe any fully fluorinated carbon chain length
sulfonate, and includes higher and lower homologues as well as PFOS. PFAS-related
substances may be simple salts or polymers that contain the PFAS as only a portion of the
entire polymer.
PFOS and PFAS chemicals have unique surfactant properties and many specialty
applications. These applications include heat, chemical and abrasion resistance, and as
dispersion, wetting and surface treatment. PFOS and PFAS chemicals may be contained
in such products as fire-fighting foams, commercial and consumer floor polishes, window
cleaners, alkaline cleaners, electroplating and etching bath surfactants/mist suppressants,
mining and oil surfactant products and in hydraulic and dielectric fluids.
The notice does NOT seek information on chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs),
hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons
(PFCs), hydrofluoroethers (HFEs), and polymers with fluorinated backbone structures.
NICNAS holds comprehensive lists on PFOS, PFAS and substances that degrade to these
chemicals. These lists can be accessed at http://www.nicnas.gov.au/. If any person is
unsure on whether chemicals imported or used by them fall into these groups please
contact Dr Sami Syed on 02 8577 8845 or email sami.syed@nicnas.gov.au for assistance.

2 GUIDELINES FOR NOTIFICATION OF NEW CHEMICALS CONTAINING
`FREE' ISOCYANATE FUNCTIONAL GROUPS
Isocyanates may be irritating to the respiratory system and sensitisation may result, even at
low levels of exposure. Isocyanates can also cause skin and eye irritation, skin sensitisation
and pulmonary toxicity.
In accordance with the Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances [NOHSC:
1008(2004)] chemicals containing the isocyanate functional group are classified as hazardous
with the risk phrase `R42 May cause sensitisation by inhalation', unless there is evidence that
the specific isocyanate does not cause respiratory hypersensitivity.
Isocyanates (as a class) have an exposure standard listed in the Adopted National Exposure
Standards for Atmospheric Contaminants in the Occupational Environment
[NOHSC:1003(1995)]. The exposure standard covers all functional isocyanate-group
containing compounds. Due to this exposure standard isocyanates are considered to be Type
I hazardous ingredients.
For notifiers of new chemicals (including polymers) containing `free' isocyanate functional
groups, the health effects of isocyanates should be addressed in the notification. In particular,
notifiers wishing to apply for assessment of a polymer as a Polymer of Low Concern (PLC)
should have available sufficient evidence that the polymer does not cause respiratory
hypersensitivity. A PLC cannot be a hazardous chemical.
Evidence demonstrating the specific polymer is not sensitising is defined in the Approved
Criteria and may include, but is not limited to:
- data from tests, such as, IgE measurements in mice, or specific pulmonary
responses observed in guinea pigs.
This evidence must be provided to NICNAS as part of the notification statement.
For further information on the hazard classification of isocyanates, please refer to:
- the Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances [NOHSC: 1008(2004)]
available online at: http://www.ascc.gov.au/NR/rdonlyres/C3F31984-D009-415E-
A5BA-F6CD5638A7EF/0/approved_criteriaNOHSC1008_2004.pdf.
