1,3-Butadiene under AICIS

C4H6 · 1,3-丁二烯

Status: Listed. 1,3-Butadiene is on the AICIS Inventory of Industrial Chemicals as a Listed Industrial Chemical. Australia adopted the GHS classification matching REACH (Carc 1A + Muta 1B + Flam. Gas 1A + Press. Gas). **SUSMP Schedule 7 (Dangerous Poison) applies for industrial-grade 1,3-butadiene above concentration cutoffs** (similar to formaldehyde batch 18 + benzene batch 22 + aniline batch 26 SUSMP Schedule 7). NOT on Australian Drug Control Act precursor list. NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese-origin 1,3-butadiene. Australia has no major domestic 1,3-butadiene production capacity; imports primarily flow to limited downstream rubber + plastic industries (no major SBR / BR / NBR / ABS production capacity domestically). ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies for Chinese-origin imports.

AICIS treats 1,3-butadiene as a routine listed industrial chemical with **SUSMP Schedule 7 (Dangerous Poison) scheduling for industrial-grade above concentration cutoffs** (similar to formaldehyde batch 18 + benzene batch 22 + aniline batch 26 SUSMP Schedule 7 pattern). The operational compliance work is substantial (annual AICIS registration, WHS-compliant SDS, ADG 7.7 Class 2.1 transport refrigerated liquefied or compressed gas, ATEX-zoned warehousing for bulk). NO active Australian AD/CVD case. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty makes Chinese-origin 1,3-butadiene competitive. Australia has **no major domestic 1,3-butadiene production**; imports primarily flow to limited downstream rubber + plastic industries (no major SBR / BR / NBR / ABS production capacity domestically).

Listing and threshold

Substance 1,3-Butadiene (CAS 106-99-0), C4H6
Regime Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme (AICIS), administered by the Department of Health
Jurisdiction Australia
Status Listed
Tonnage threshold AICIS introducer registration required for any business introducing >100 kg/year of any industrial chemical

Classifications under this regime

  • Listed Industrial Chemical on AICIS Inventory
  • Australian GHS classification: Flam. Gas 1A (H220), Press. Gas (refrigerated liquefied / liquefied / compressed), Carc. 1A (H350), Muta. 1B (H340)
  • Signal word: DANGER. GHS pictograms: GHS02 + GHS04 + GHS08
  • **SUSMP Schedule 7 (Dangerous Poison)** applies for industrial-grade 1,3-butadiene above concentration cutoffs
  • NOT on Australian Drug Control Act precursor list
  • Australian Dangerous Goods Code (ADG 7.7): Class 2.1 (flammable gas), UN 1010 (refrigerated liquefied or compressed)
  • Safe Work Australia workplace exposure standard: 1 ppm 8-hr TWA
  • **IARC: Group 1 (carcinogenic to humans)**

Restrictions and conditions of use

  • No AICIS-specific use restrictions for industrial-grade 1,3-butadiene above concentration cutoffs
  • SUSMP Schedule 7 retail packaging rules apply for industrial-grade above cutoffs
  • NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese-origin 1,3-butadiene currently
  • WHS Regulation 2011 hazardous-chemicals handling requirements apply at workplaces handling 1,3-butadiene above declared thresholds
  • NFPA-equivalent flammable gas storage requirements apply for bulk; ATEX-zoned warehousing required + refrigerated liquefied or compressed gas storage
  • ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies to Chinese-origin 1,3-butadiene (HS 290124)

Importer obligations

The Australian importer of record must be registered with AICIS (online registration is straightforward and annual). For Listed Industrial Chemicals like 1,3-butadiene no individual chemical assessment is required. **SUSMP Schedule 7 (Dangerous Poison) compliance is the dominant practitioner overhead** (similar to formaldehyde batch 18 + benzene batch 22 + aniline batch 26 patterns). Workplace handling SDS drives WHS hazardous-chemicals register entry at handling facilities; refrigerated liquefied or compressed gas storage + ATEX-zoned warehousing applies for bulk receipt. **Carc 1A + Muta 1B + IARC Group 1** drive substantial WHS workplace exposure-control overhead. Australia has no major domestic 1,3-butadiene production; imports primarily flow to limited downstream rubber + plastic industries. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty makes Chinese-origin 1,3-butadiene competitive vs Korean (Kumho Petrochemical, LG Chem, Lotte Chemical, S-Oil), Japanese, Singaporean, Saudi (PetroRabigh) alternatives.

Required documents

  • AICIS introducer registration certificate (annual)
  • WHS-compliant Safety Data Sheet (Safe Work Australia model code format) reflecting H220 / H340 / H350 classification
  • Customs entry (ICS / ABF) with HS code 290124
  • **SUSMP Schedule 7 (Dangerous Poison) labelling compliance** for industrial-grade above cutoffs
  • ChAFTA Form CO certificate of origin for preferential treatment
  • Industrial-grade specification certificate (minimum 99.5% purity, TBC inhibitor specification)
  • ADG 7.7 Class 2.1 dangerous-goods transport documentation (refrigerated liquefied or compressed gas)

Common compliance traps

The pitfalls that have bitten importers on this lane in the past. None of these is theoretical.

  • AICIS registration must be CURRENT at customs clearance
  • WHS hazardous-chemicals register entry required at handling facilities; refrigerated liquefied or compressed gas storage + ATEX-zoned warehousing required
  • **SUSMP Schedule 7 (Dangerous Poison) compliance is the dominant practitioner overhead** for industrial-grade above cutoffs (similar to formaldehyde batch 18 + benzene batch 22 + aniline batch 26 SUSMP Schedule 7)
  • Carc 1A + Muta 1B + Press. Gas + IARC Group 1 hazard profile drives heaviest WHS workplace exposure-control overhead
  • NOT on Australian Drug Control Act precursor list
  • NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese 1,3-butadiene currently
  • ChAFTA preferential zero-duty makes Chinese-origin 1,3-butadiene competitive vs Korean, Japanese, Singaporean, Saudi alternatives
  • Australian end-use is limited (no major SBR / BR / NBR / ABS production capacity domestically); imports primarily flow to limited downstream rubber + plastic industries
