Isopropyl alcohol (IPA, propan-2-ol) under AICIS

C3H8O · 异丙醇

Status: Listed. IPA is on the AICIS Inventory of Industrial Chemicals as a Listed Industrial Chemical. **SUSMP Schedule 5 (Caution) applies for retail mixtures above concentration cutoffs**. NOT on Australian Drug Control Act precursor list. NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese-origin IPA. **Australian APVMA Pesticide and Veterinary Medicines Authority registration applies for biocidal-product applications** (sanitiser, disinfectant). Australia has limited domestic IPA production; structurally net-importer for paint plus coating plus sanitiser plus pharmaceutical industries. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies for Chinese-origin imports.

AICIS treats IPA as a routine listed industrial chemical with **SUSMP Schedule 5 (Caution)** for retail mixtures. NO active Australian AD/CVD case. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty. Australia limited domestic IPA production. **APVMA registration for biocidal-product applications**.
