Have your say
New Zealand Food Safety is inviting public comment on the proposed revision of the ACVM Guidance Document: Chemistry and Manufacturing Information for Agricultural Chemicals.
This document explains the chemistry and manufacturing information that should accompany an application to register or vary a registration of an agricultural chemical trade name product under the ACVM Act. This draft includes clarifications and more detail in a number of sections since the guidance was last updated in June 2010. The first draft of this document underwent public consultation in 2020, and all feedback was considered. In particular, 3 sections with large changes (product formulation, product specifications, validation) underwent further targeted consultation with 4 interested parties in May 2022. Based on this feedback a number of changes have been made to the draft document. Due to the number of changes made, a second round of public consultation is being undertaken on the revised draft.
Submissions close at 5pm on 24 November 2023.
