8 No. APVMA 2, Tuesday, 28 January 2014 Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Act OTHER NOTICES Amendments to the APVMA MRL Standard The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) approves maximum residue limits (MRLs) of agricultural and veterinary chemicals in agricultural produce, particularly produce entering the food chain. The MRLs approved by the APVMA are associated with a regulatory decision to register a product, grant a permit approval, or as an outcome from a review decision and are set out in the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Instrument No. 4 (MRL Standard) The MRL Standard lists MRLs of substances that may arise from the approved use of agricultural and veterinary chemical products containing those substances on commodities used for human consumption as well as livestock feeds. The MRL Standard also provides the relevant residue definitions to which these MRLs apply. There may be situations where the residue definition for monitoring and enforcement is different to the definition used for dietary risk assessment purposes. MRLs are set at levels which are not likely to be exceeded if the agricultural or veterinary chemicals are used in accordance with approved label instructions. In considering MRLs and variation to MRLs, the APVMA takes into account studies on chemistry, metabolism, analytical methodology, residues, toxicology, good agricultural practice and dietary exposure. In approving MRLs, the APVMA is satisfied, from dietary exposure assessment, that the levels set are not an undue hazard to human health. The APVMA has amended the MRL Standard with affect from 18 January Details of the amendment can be found in the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Instrument No. 4 (MRL Standard) Amendment Instrument 2014 (No. 1). The amendments will be incorporated into the compilation of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Instrument No. 4 (MRL Standard) The MRL Standard is accessible via the ComLaw website or the links above.

9 No. APVMA 2, Tuesday, 28 January 2014 Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Act Proposal to Amend Standard of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code In the previous notice, the APVMA gazetted particular amendments which it has approved varying 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 these variations (Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Instrument No. 4 (MRL Standard) Amendment Instrument 2014 (No. 1)) to MRLs into Standard Maximum Residue Limits of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code. MRLs contained in Standard provide the limits for residues of agricultural and veterinary chemicals that may legitimately occur in foods. By this means, Standard 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 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 Government of Australia and the Government of New Zealand 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. Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) will make a Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) notification to the World Trade Organization (WTO). 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 Standard in the APVMA Gazette. The variations will take effect as from the date of that subsequent notice. Other notices Proposal to Amend Standard of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code
