HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES (GROUP STANDARDS) NOTICE 2006

Pursuant to section 96B of the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996 (the Act) the Environmental Risk Management Authority (the Authority), on its own initiative, issues these Group Standards.
1 Citation
This document shall be cited as the Hazardous Substances (Group Standards) Notice 2006 (Supplement to the New Zealand Gazette, Issue No. 74).
2 Commencement
These Group Standards come into force on 1 July 2006.
3 Background
The purpose of the Act is to protect the environment, and the health and safety of people and communities, by preventing or managing the adverse effects of hazardous substances and new organisms.
Part 6A of the Act enables the Authority to issue Group Standards. A Group Standard is an approval under the Act for a group of hazardous substances that are of a similar nature or type, or which have similar circumstances of use, such that the risks of the substances can be effectively managed by one set of conditions.
4 Group Standards issued
In this Supplement, notice is given by the Authority of the issuing of Group Standards for:
Ø additives, process chemicals and raw materials
Ø aerosols
Ø animal nutritional and animal care products
Ø class 4 substances
Ø class 5 substances
Ø cleaning products, including industrial and institutional cleaning products
Ø compressed gas mixtures
Ø construction products
Ø corrosion inhibitors
Ø cosmetic products
Ø denatured ethanol
Ø dental products
Ø embalming products
Ø fertilisers
Ø fire fighting chemicals
Ø food additives and fragrance materials
Ø fuel additives
Ø laboratory chemicals and reagent kits
Ø leather and textile products
Ø lubricants
Ø metal industry products
Ø N.O.S. (not otherwise specified)
Ø photographic chemicals
Ø polymers
Ø refining catalysts
Ø solvents
Ø surface coatings and colourants
Ø water treatment chemicals.
Hazardous substances covered by these Group Standards may be:
(a) new substances that are manufactured or imported into New Zealand for the first time; or
(b) substances that were notified as at 1 July 2001 under section 32 of the Toxic Substances Regulations 1979. These substances are commonly referred to as NOTS or notified toxic substances; or
(c) substances that are already approved under the Act, including substances that may have been previously transferred or approved under Part 5 of the Act.
Each Group Standard has been assigned a HSNO Approval Number. For a hazardous substance to be approved under a Group Standard it must meet the parameters set out in clause 4 of the Standard (Scope of the Group Standard). It is the responsibility of the manufacturer or importer of a substance to determine whether a substance complies with these parameters.
If a substance does not comply with the scope of a Group Standard, then an approval must be obtained under the Act before it can be imported or manufactured in New Zealand.
5 Conditions to Group Standards
Group Standards set conditions for the management of hazardous substances. These conditions are designed to manage any risk to people and the environment throughout the life-cycle of the substance. These include risks from manufacture or importation, storage and use, through to final disposal. Group Standards include conditions for:
Ø product labelling
Ø safety data sheets
Ø site and storage requirements, including test certification and emergency management
Ø approved handler and tracking
Ø packaging
Ø personal protective clothing and equipment
Ø transportation
Ø disposal
Ø exposure limits
Ø notification to the Authority.
Each Group Standard provides a period of "staged implementation" to allow persons dealing with hazardous substances time in which to comply with the new requirements. These transitional conditions include provisions for labelling, packaging, approved handler and emergency management.
The conditions imposed on a Group Standard issued under this notice are set out in the full Group Standard or its accompanying Site and Storage Conditions
Document. The Site and Storage Conditions Document is incorporated into the Group Standard by Reference.
The full Group Standard and the Site and Storage Conditions Document are available on the ERMA New Zealand web site (see contact details below).
6 New or amended Group Standards
A Group Standard can be issued, amended or revoked by the Authority, either on its own initiative; or on application by any person.
Persons wishing to apply for a new Group Standard, or an amendment to an existing Standard, should contact the Applications Manager (Hazardous Substances), ERMA New Zealand, at the address below.
7 Availability and publication of Group Standards
The Group Standards issued under this notice, and any materials incorporated into them by reference that are published by ERMA New Zealand may be-
(a) viewed on the ERMA New Zealand web site; or
(b) inspected free of charge during normal business hours at the ERMA
New Zealand office; or

Interpretation
anti-freeze agent means a chemical or mixture of chemicals, including ethylene glycol, used to reduce the freezing point of liquids within a closed system, including an automotive engine
coolant means a chemical or mixture of chemicals, including ethylene glycol, used to raise the boiling point of liquids within a closed system, including an automotive engine
Group I - V base oils: Group I and II are highly-refined mineral oils (commonly referred to as mineral oils). Group III base oils are extra high viscosity index oils. Group IV base oils are poly alpha olefins. Group V are non-hydrocarbon fluid base oils
highly-refined mineral oils are Group I and II base oils with a DMSO extract of less than 3% m/m using the IP346 method, Annex 1 entry in 21st ATP, and therefore regarded as non-carcinogenic
lubricant means a material introduced between moving surfaces to reduce friction and wear between them. A lubricant typically contains over 90% Group 1 - V base oils (often mineral oils, but can be synthetic and non-hydrocarbon based) and less than 10% additives. It includes lubricating fluids, emulsions, waxes, pastes and dry lubricants
lubricant additive means an additive or additive package designed for use in industrial and automotive lubricants to enhance performance. They may range from a highly viscous liquid to a solid, but generally take the form of concentrated solutions in diluent oils. They may have one or more of the following functions: protection of metal surfaces (e.g. rings, bearings, gears), extending the range of lubricant applicability and extending lubricant life

Interpretation
adhesive means a material applied to two surfaces causing them to adhere, or a material applied to a surface as a coating or gap filler and includes thinners and all parts of a multi component adhesive
dye means an intensely coloured or fluorescent organic material, which imparts colour to a substrate by selective absorption. Dyes are soluble and/or go through an application process which, at least temporarily, destroys any crystal structure of the dye. Dyes are retained in the substrate by absorption, solution and mechanical retention, or by ionic or covalent chemical bonds
graphic material means a material which is deposited onto another material by a graphic instrument during writing, drawing or marking
ink means a coloured fluid used for writing, drawing or printing and includes ink reducers and overprint varnishes
paint includes but is not limited to any material used or intended to be used for application as a colouring or protective coating to any surface, including lacquers, varnishes, stains, all parts of a multi component paint, tinters and thinners, but does not include antifouling paints and cosmetic products
pigment means a coloured, black, white, fluorescent or phosphorescent particulate organic or inorganic solid, which is practically insoluble in the application medium. Pigments are usually dispersed in vehicles or substrates for application. Pigments retain a crystal or particulate structure throughout the colouration process
surface coating and colourant means any of the following materials, including any raw materials used in their manufacture:
(a) adhesive; or
(b) dye; or
(c) ink; or
(d) paint; or
(e) pigment; or
(f) graphic material
