Whether you are a seasoned professional or just starting out, you will come across AICIS in your research. Formerly known as the National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme (NICNAS), AICIS has been in existence since 1989, providing guidance for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auzi.com\/portal\/soap-candles-insurance\/\">Soap Makers<\/a>,\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auzi.com\/portal\/cosmetic-product-maker-insurance\/\">Cosmetic Manufacturers<\/a> and chemical importers. While AICIS has been around for decades, it wasn&#8217;t always easy to access important information. However, with a rebranding and update of documentation in July 2020, it has become much simpler for soap makers and cosmetic manufacturers\/ importers to find the information they need. Despite the improvements, AICIS can still be confusing, but we are here to help, breakdown these barriers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-4dacd9f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4dacd9f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-72036c8\" data-id=\"72036c8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-784f168 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"784f168\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is AICIS?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9c98ae8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9c98ae8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>AICIS is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auzi.com\/portal\/small-business\/market-stall-business-essentials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">business essential<\/a> for those intending on selling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auzi.com\/portal\/soap-candles-insurance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">soaps<\/a> or<a href=\"https:\/\/www.auzi.com\/portal\/cosmetic-product-maker-insurance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> cosmetic products<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> in Australia<\/strong>.
