APVMA to authorise certain pesticide label changes without approval

Date:08-01-2011

Currently, applicants can change specific aspects of registered product labels without obtaining APVMA approval. This occurs through permits 6868, 9284 and 9523. However, recent amendments to the Agvet Code have allowed more flexibility in this area.

As a result, permits 9284 and 9523 are no longer required, while some aspects of permit 6868 remain relevant.

The APVMA has developed a new permit to authorise the relevant aspects of permit 6868 and other label changes in line with the new labelling requirements.
