Abstract The Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Act 1994, establishes a regulatory scheme for agricultural and veterinary chemicals. Under the Code, persons may apply to the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) for registration of a chemical product, approval of an active constituent and approval of a label. Once a chemical product is registered, or an active constituent or label is approved, the registration or approval holder may apply to the APVMA to vary relevant particulars of their registration or approval either under Division 2AA or Division 3 of Part 2. Relevant particulars include the distinguishing number, any instructions for use, as well as the distinguishing name, composition (if applicable), concentration of the active constituent (if applicable), identifying information of the holder, and the name of the manufacturer. Division 2AA permits a holder to lodge a notice of one or more notifiable variations of the relevant particulars of an approval or registration. Notifiable variations are minor changes to the details of an approved active constituent, registered product or approved labels made by notice rather than by way of a full application. Multiple changes can be made in one notification to the APVMA for a single fee, using the APVMA online services. A variation which is a notifiable variation cannot also be a prescribed variation. This Instrument determines the kinds of variations which are notifiable variations, pursuant to subsection 26AB(5) of the Code.
