Other Notices - Suspension of Products Containing Dimethoate and Associated Label Approvals

Suspension of Products Containing Dimethoate and Associated Label Approvals

On 6 October 2011, the APVMA suspended the registrations and label approvals for the agricultural chemical

products containing dimethoate identified in the table below. The decisions to suspend the registrations and label

approvals were made under subsections 41(1) and 41(3) of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Act

1994 (Agvet Code).

The product registrations and label approvals have been suspended for a 12 month period ending on 5 October

2012.

The APVMA has also cancelled certain permits authorising the use of products containing dimethoate.

Active constituent approvals are not affected by the APVMA’s suspension decision of 6 October 2011.

REASONS FOR SUSPENSION

The APVMA has decided that the continued use of, or other dealings with products containing dimethoate may

be an undue hazard to the safety of people using anything containing dimethoate residues. In addition, the

APVMA has decided that the instructions on approved labels associated with those products may no longer be

adequate.

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 APVMA has formed the view that the consumption of certain crops and produce that have been treated with

the products listed below may be an undue hazard to people’s safety as the likely exposure to residues of

dimethoate exceed the ARfD established by OCS. As such, the APVMA decided to suspend the product

registrations and the associated label approvals for each of the products listed below.

Other Notices - Amendments to the APVMA MRL Standard

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 MRL Standard published by the APVMA. The MRL Standard lists

MRLs of substances which 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, based on dietary exposure assessments and current health

standards, that the limits are not harmful to public health.

The MRL Standard is accessible via the APVMA website, www.apvma.gov.au

The APVMA has varied the MRL Standard as set out below with effect from the date of this notice.

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

Proposal to Amend Standard 1.4.2 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 (numbered 4O) 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 is 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.



DRAFT VARIATIONS TO THE AUSTRALIA NEW ZEALAND FOOD STANDARDS CODE

Note: The following amendments are in a format that accords with the proposed amending Legislative Instrument which, in turn, has to be consistent with the existing format of Standard 1.4.2 (Maximum Residue Limits) of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT NO. 4O

Note: Subsection 82(2) of the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991 provides that variations to standards are legislative instruments, but are not subject to disallowance or sunsetting.

To commence: on gazettal of variation

INVITATION FOR SUBMISSIONS

Written submissions are invited from interested individuals and organisations to assist the APVMA in considering the proposal to vary Standard 1.4.2 - Maximum Residue Limits of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code. Submissions should be strictly confined to relevant matters that the APVMA must consider (such as public health and safety) which are associated with the occurrence of the proposed residues in foods. Comments received outside these grounds will not be considered by the APVMA. Claims made in submissions should be supported wherever possible by referencing or including relevant studies, research findings, trials, surveys etc. Technical information should be in sufficient detail to allow independent scientific assessment.

Please note that FSANZ will make a SPS notification to the WTO and submissions related to impacts on international trade should be made to FSANZ in response to that notification.

All personal and confidential commercial information (CCI)1 material contained in submissions to the APVMA will be

treated confidentially.

Submissions must be made in writing and should be clearly marked as a ‘submission on the proposed amendment to Standard 1.4.2’ and quote the correct amendment number.

DEADLINE FOR PUBLIC SUBMISSIONS: 6pm (Canberra time) 14 November 2011 SUBMISSIONS RECEIVED AFTER THIS DEADLINE WILL ONLY BE CONSIDERED BY PRIOR ARRANGEMENT

Submissions received after this date will only be considered if agreement for an extension has been given prior to this closing date. Agreement to an extension of time will only be given if extraordinary circumstances warrant an extension to the submission period.

1 A full definition of "confidential commercial information" is contained in the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code (Agvet Code),

which is scheduled to the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Act 1994.
