Proposed changes to agricultural chemical chemistry and manufacturing information requirements

Have your say

The ACVM group is seeking feedback on the information needed to register an agricultural chemical product.

Anyone applying to register an agricultural chemical product under the Agricultural Compounds and Veterinary Medicines (ACVM) Act 1997 must provide detailed information on the product's chemistry and manufacturing process. The current information requirements are being updated.

We would appreciate your feedback on our first draft guidance document for the chemistry and manufacture of agricultural chemicals. We're particularly interested in answers to these questions:

  1. Is the level of detail appropriate?
  2. Are there any areas that need more guidance?

We would also like any additional feedback.
