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) 2012. 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 and the changes will have affect the day after the instrument is registered.

Details of the amendment can be found in the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Instrument No. 4 (MRL

Standard) Amendment Instrument 2015 (No. 9).

The amendments will be incorporated into the compilation of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Instrument

No. 4 (MRL Standard) 2012.

The MRL Standard is accessible via the ComLaw website www.comlaw.gov.au or the links above.

Proposal to Amend Standard 1.4.2 of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code


In the previous notice, the APVMA gazetted that 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, have been made.

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 Instrument No. 4 (MRL Standard) Amendment Instrument 2015

(No. 9)) to MRLs into Standard 1.4.2. Maximum Residue Limits of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code.

MRLs contained in Standard 1.4.2 provide the limits for residues of agricultural and veterinary chemicals that may

legitimately occur in foods. By this means, Standard 1.4.2 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 1.4.2 in the APVMA Gazette. The variations will

take effect as from the date of that subsequent notice.

Variations to Standard 1.4.2 of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code


The APVMA has previously gazetted particular amendments which it had made to the APVMA MRL Standard and which

have been proposed as variations to maximum residue limits (MRLs) for substances contained in agricultural and

veterinary chemical products as set out as in Standard 1.4.2–Maximum Residue Limits of the Australia New Zealand

Food Standards Code. This notice pertains to proposals (No. 6) gazetted on 14 July 2015 (No. APVMA 14).

Submissions have been sought on these proposals and the APVMA has written separately to each person or

organisation that made a submission. All matters raised in the submissions have been resolved.

Under subsection 82(1) of the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991, the APVMA has, by legislative

instrument, incorporated these variations to MRLs into Standard 1.4.2. A copy of the Amendment Instrument (No.

APVMA 8, 2015) accompanies this notice. For a complete and up-to-date version of Standard 1.4.2, including these

amendments together with their Explanatory Statement, please refer to the Federal Register of Legislative Instrument

available on the Comlaw website at www.comlaw.gov.au.

Based on dietary exposure assessments and current health standards, the APVMA and FSANZ are satisfied that these

MRLs are not harmful to public health. MRLs contained in Standard 1.4.2 provide the limits for residues of agricultural

and veterinary chemicals that may legitimately occur in foods. By this means, Standard 1.4.2 permits the sale of treated

foods and protects public health by minimising residues in foods consistent with the effective control of pests and

diseases.

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

Continued Suspension of Certain Products Containing Dimethoate and their Associated Label Approvals


The APVMA has continued the suspension of the registrations and label approvals for eleven agricultural chemical

products containing dimethoate, as identified in the table below. The decisions to extend the suspensions of the

registrations and label approvals were made under subsections 41(1) and 41(2) of the Agricultural and Veterinary

Chemicals Code Act 1994 (Agvet Code).

The suspension of product registrations and label approvals are now in effect until 5 October 2016.

Active constituent approvals are not affected by the APVMA’s decision to continue this suspension.

REASONS FOR CONTINUING THE SUSPENSION

The APVMA suspended all products containing dimethoate and their associated labels on 6 October 2011. The dietary

exposure concerns that formed the basis of this original suspension of label approvals and product registrations have not

altered for the products listed in Table 1. Therefore continued suspension is necessary to ensure that the use of products

containing dimethoate does not result in any undue hazard to the safety of people or have an effect that is harmful to

human beings.In January 2011, the APVMA published the toxicology component of the report prepared by the Office of

Chemical Safety (OCS) in connection with the APVMA’s review of dimethoate: Human Health Risk Assessment of

Dimethoate (the OCS Report). The OCS Report revised the public health standards for dimethoate. The Acceptable

Daily Intake (ADI) for dimethoate was reduced from 0.02 mg/kg bw/day to 0.001 mg/kg bw/day. In addition, an Acute

Reference Dose (ARfD) of 0.02 mg/kg bw was established.

The APVMA published its Dimethoate Residues and Dietary Risk Assessment Report (the Residues Report) in August

2011. The Residues Report considered all of the available information relevant to its review of dimethoate, including the

public health standards (ADI and ARfD) set out in the OCS Report. The report included the advice that there was a

significant risk that short-term dietary exposures to dimethoate residues arising from use patterns included in the

previously approved label particulars would be above (and in some cases well above) the relevant public health standard

for short-term exposure to dimethoate, the Acute Reference Dose (ARfD) as set out in the Human Health Risk

Assessment of Dimethoate report.

Based on the findings of the OCS report and the residues report, the APVMA has decided to continue the suspension of

product registrations under subsection 41(1)(b) of the Agvet Code, because the continued use of, or other dealings with

the products containing dimethoate as listed below, in accordance with their instructions for use may be an undue hazard

to the safety of people using (i.e. consuming) anything containing dimethoate residues.

In addition, the APVMA has decided that the instructions on the previously approved labels associated with those

products may no longer be adequate as they do not have appropriate instructions for the circumstances under which the

product should be used, the frequency of use of the product and the withholding period after the use of the product for

specific use patterns and crop types. The APVMA has decide to continue the suspension of these labels under

Subsection 41(2) and to issue modified instructions for the use of these products during the suspension period.
