Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Regulations 1995
Summary
The Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry has updated the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Regulations 1995. This amendment, effective July 28, 2004, concerns the administrative details and specific definitions within the regulations.
What changed
This document represents an amendment to the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Regulations 1995, effective July 28, 2004. The changes appear to be administrative, focusing on definitions and administrative details related to agricultural and veterinary chemical products, as indicated by the table of contents and the citation details.
Compliance officers should review the specific sections updated, particularly those related to definitions (e.g., 'date-controlled chemical product', 'excluded organism', 'protection period') and labeling requirements, to ensure ongoing adherence to the regulations. While this appears to be a minor administrative update, any changes to definitions or labeling instructions require careful review to confirm no new operational impacts.
What to do next
- Review updated definitions in Part 1
- Verify compliance with labeling requirements in Part 2
