Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Act 1994

The APVMA must notify Food Standards Australia New Zealand if an approval, registration, variation or permit proposed under this Code (whether by application or on the initiative of the APVMA) would, if it were given, made or issued, be likely to require a variation to the Maximum Residue Limits Standard.

The notice must:

be in writing; and

set out:

the names, or proposed names, of the active constituents concerned; and

any other matters that the APVMA thinks appropriate; and

be given to Food Standards Australia New Zealand before the approval, registration, variation or permit is given, made or issued.

This section does not apply in relation to an approval, registration, variation or permit proposed by an application that is subject to preliminary assessment before the application has passed preliminary assessment.
