In July of 2020, Australia introduced a sweeping new regulation for chemicals called the Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme (AICIS) [59]. This law looks at all chemicals imported into Australia, as well as those created/used domestically, and covers applications that use those chemicals as well. There is an extensive chemical inventory to see what is known about a particular chemical (and where there are gaps) in a searchable database, and a list of those chemicals which are banned/restricted from use. The Australian law looks to international law as a basis for chemical bans, including chemicals found on the Stockholm Convention of Persistent Organic Pollutants, which includes HBCD, BDPEs, and some perbrominated/perchlorinated aromatic compounds. Tris(2,3-dibromopropyl)phosphate is also subject to regulation due to its negative PBT profile. As of 2020, no other non-halogenated flame retardants are on the regulated list with Australia.
