APPENDIX 1 - Flowcharts

The decision schemes shown in this appendix can be used to determine the required Schedule of information for a substance notified under the Regulations. The information requirements for each subdivision are cumulative. When consulting the flowcharts, the user should first choose the appropriate flowchart by examining the box appearing at the top of the flowchart as it sets out the type of substance as well as the applicable section of the Regulations. The flowcharts will guide the user in identifying what information and when the information is to be provided based upon the quantity that triggers the requirement to provide the information.
