Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) under AICIS

C16H22O4 · 邻苯二甲酸二丁酯

Status: Listed. Dibutyl phthalate is on the AICIS Inventory of Industrial Chemicals as a Listed Industrial Chemical. **SUSMP / Poisons Standard Schedule 5 / Schedule 6 typically** (verify exact schedule against the current Poisons Standard before relying). **Consumer Product Safety Mandatory Standard for phthalates in children's toys + childcare articles via Trade Practices (Consumer Product Safety Standard) (Children's Toys) Regulations 2003 + 2004 + successor Consumer Goods (Children's Toys + Childrens Article Containing Lead) Standard** restricts DBP + DEHP + BBP + DINP + DIDP + DNOP at >0.1% by mass (verify exact current Mandatory Standard against https://www.productsafety.gov.au/ before relying). NO active Australian AD/CVD case on Chinese-origin DBP currently. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty applies for Chinese-origin imports (subject to Mandatory Standard overlay where placed in toy / childcare channel). **Australia is structurally a net-importer of DBP**; Chinese-origin import dependency dominant.

AICIS treats dibutyl phthalate as a Listed Industrial Chemical with **SUSMP / Poisons Standard Schedule 5 / Schedule 6 + Consumer Product Safety Mandatory Standard for phthalates (DBP at >0.1% by mass in toys / childcare BANNED)**. NO active Australian AD/CVD. ChAFTA preferential zero-duty subject to Mandatory Standard overlay. **Australia structurally net-importer**; Chinese-origin import dependency dominant.
