Ticket #29, comment 1
v1 v2 10 10 '''Program flow''' 11 11 12 The re is no difference in categorisation program flow because thenew rules start with the Reported category.12 The new rules start with the Reported category. 13 13 14 14 At that point, if the total volume is <= 10kg, auto-categorisation as REPORTED10KG should commence. 15 16 We need to examine precisely where to interrupt categorisation processing to call each of the methods mentioned below. Currently, the process simultaneously assigns hazards based on reference lists and/or chemical characteristics and writes the particular "Health/Environment info required for AICIS ..." note for that portion of the categorisation. We may need to start that process with the total volume and keep parallel categorisation streams updated until one knocks out the other. 15 17 16 18 User intiation by selecting REPORTED10KG would be incompatible with current program flow which must calculate the category. … … 22 24 Not (known) mutagenic or 23 25 24 Not {known) carcinogenic or26 Not (known) carcinogenic or 25 27 26 28 Not (known) reprotoxic or 27 29 28 For these three we need a new method ''is_awful(chemical_hazards)'' 30 For these three we need a new method ''is_awful(chemical_hazards)'' which simply returns True if any of GHS hazards H340 or H341 or H350 or H351 or H360 or H361 are attached to the chemical. 29 31 30 32 If used in a cosmetic, must not prohibited or restricted in cosmetics by EU or USA 31 33 32 For this we need a new ''is_banned_for_cosmetics()'' method 34 For this we need a new ''is_banned_for_cosmetics()'' method which scans the index for a chemical (CAS and/or name and/or EC number) and if detected returns True if prohibited or restricted. There are chemicals on the EUR-Lex Cosmetics lists which are allowed with conditions. Some of those conditions may concern AICIS when/if the chemical is listed on the Australian inventory, the listing may carry similar conditions. There are similar lists for the USA. 33 35 34 36 and … … 36 38 Not (known to be) a solid or a dispersion or 37 39 40 ''Physical state'' of 'Unknown' is already treated by the software as equivalent with 'Solid' and/or 'Dispersion' for nanoscale processing. No change required here. 41 38 42 Not (known) to be nanoscale 39 43 40 We now have a new physical form of ''Unknown'' and nanoscale data is always respected.44 ''Nano-material'' already has a selection 'Not known' which AICIS (and the software) treats as 'Yes' but without a study report on nano particle dimensions. 41 45 42 46 and … … 44 48 Not (known) to contain Fluorine or 45 49 50 We do need a ''has_fluorine()'' method which returns True if there is a molecular formula with the symbol F or there is 'fluo" in the names. Returning False means it is not known to contain Fluorine. 51 46 52 IS known to be an inorganic salt 47 53 48 We already have element detection methods and organic/inorganic detection 54 We already have element detection methods and organic/inorganic detection 49 55 50 56 and 51 57 52 Not (known) P BT58 Not (known) Persistent, Bioaccumulative and ToxicT 53 59 54 Already detected via CAS number or added hazards60 Already detected via CAS number search of the list of chemicals with high hazards for categorisation or the user has entered data including adding GHS H400 or H410 hazards. 55 61 56 62 57 63 ''Section 42A (relaxes rigour by using the word "reasonably")'' 58 64 59 Identification is identical with all other introductions. The difference is relaxed rigour in providing it - or not if "reasonably practicable" to find out only when asked.65 Identification is identical with all other introductions. The difference is relaxed rigour in providing it - or not, if "reasonably practicable" to find out only when asked. 60 66 61 We will not need the MOU. Introducer can merely keep contact details to provide to the Executive Director of the person reasonably believed to know the information.67 We will not need the MOU. Introducer can merely keep contact details of the person reasonably believed to know the information to provide to the Executive Director on request. 62 68 63 69 … … 69 75 ''Section 56A - specific records to retain'' 70 76 71 A relaxed rigour around the actual name of the chemical. The "known" names.77 A relaxed rigour around the actual name of the ''chemical''. Just retain the "known" names. 72 78 73 However, there is no relaxed rigour around knowing the productnames and chemical volumes introduced.79 However, there is no relaxed rigour around knowing the ''product'' names and chemical volumes introduced. 74 80 81 We will need to review the Introduction Report to adjust output based on REPORTED10KG. 75 82 76 77 In summary, AICIS is not going to follow up on any of this unless something goes wrong.
