Commonwealth of Australia Gazette No. APVMA 7, Tuesday, 7 April 2020 Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Act 1994 20
Proposal to amend Schedule 20 of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code
Proposal to amend Schedule 20 in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code
In the previous notice on page 19 of APVMA Gazette No. 7, the APVMA gazetted amendments which it has approved to
vary maximum residue limits (MRLs) for substances contained in agricultural and veterinary chemical products as set out
as in the APVMA’s MRL Standard.
Under section 82 of the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991, the APVMA is proposing to incorporate those
variations (Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code (MRL Standard) Amendment Instrument (No. 3) 2020) to MRLs
into Schedule 20—Maximum residue limits in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code.
MRLs contained in Schedule 20 provide the limits for residues of agricultural and veterinary chemicals that may
legitimately occur in foods. By this means, Schedule 20 permits the sale of treated foods and protects public health and
safety by minimising residues in foods consistent with the effective control of pests and diseases.
The APVMA and Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) are satisfied, based on dietary exposure
assessments and current health standards, that the proposed limits are not harmful to public health.
The agreement between the Australian Government and the New Zealand Government concerning a Joint Food
Standards System, excludes MRLs for agricultural and veterinary chemicals in food from the system setting joint food
standards. Australia and New Zealand independently and separately develop MRLs for agricultural and veterinary
chemicals in food.
A Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) notification to the World Trade Organization (WTO) will be made.
The APVMA invites comment on these proposals. Details on how to make a submission appear near the end of this
notice, below the details of the proposed amendment.
The APVMA will consider any public comments made in response to this proposal. If the APVMA decides to proceed
with the proposal, it will further notify any variations it makes to Schedule 20 in the APVMA Gazette. The variations will
take effect as from the date of that subsequent notice.

INVITATION FOR SUBMISSIONS
Written submissions are invited from interested individuals and organisations to assist the APVMA in considering the
proposal to vary Schedule 20—Maximum residue limits in the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code.
Submissions should be strictly confined to relevant matters that the APVMA must consider (such as public health and
safety) which are associated with the occurrence of the proposed residues in foods. Comments received outside these
grounds will not be considered by the APVMA. Claims made in submissions should be supported wherever possible by
referencing or including relevant studies, research findings, trials, surveys etc. Technical information should be in
sufficient detail to allow independent scientific assessment.
Please note that FSANZ will make a SPS notification to the WTO and submissions related to impacts on international
trade should be made to FSANZ in response to that notification.
Submissions must be made in writing and should be clearly marked as a ‘submission on the proposed amendment to
Schedule 20’ and quote the correct amendment number.
Deadline for public submissions: 6 pm (AEST) 5 May 2020.
Submissions received after this date will only be considered if agreement for an extension has been given prior to this
closing date. Agreement to an extension of time will only be given if extraordinary circumstances warrant an extension to
the submission period.

Consultation on use patterns for anticoagulant rodenticide products
Consultation on use patterns for anticoagulant rodenticide products
CONSULTATION PERIOD ENDS 3 JULY 2020.
KEY ISSUES
1. Products considered anticoagulant rodenticides have been prioritised for reconsideration on the basis of concerns
for worker exposure, public health and environmental safety.
2. The use of products in domestic premises, animal production facilities and food production facilities is currently
allowed.
3. International jurisdictions (including the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the European
Chemicals Agency) have taken action to limit access to these products by non-professional users, and to restrict the
product formulations available and the situations in which these products may be used.
4. The APVMA is consulting with the states and territories and relevant holders regarding the registered particulars and
conditions of use for anticoagulant rodenticide products. This does not include the intentional misuse of the products,
not in accordance with the label instructions.
FOCUS OF THE CONSULTATION
Registered products containing the following active constituents are included in this consultation:
