Consultation period
10 August 2015 to 7 September 2015Submissions are invited from interested stakeholders on the draft data guideline Guidelines for Efficacy Evaluation of On-farm Dairy Cleansers and Sanitisers.
Background
The purpose of data guidelines is to increase the transparency and predictability of APVMA decision making under the Agvet Code. APVMA data guidelines provide guidance on what information should be provided with an application, increase understanding and predictability of our decisions and demonstrate how we ensure that the agvet chemicals for supply in Australia can be used safely and are effective.
We have developed the data requirements for information to be provided with an application to satisfy the efficacy criteria for dairy cleansers for use on-farm. The criteria are described in the draft—Guidelines for Efficacy Evaluation of On-farm Dairy Cleansers and Sanitisers.
These guidelines have been developed in conjunction with Dairy Australia.
Call for public comment
The APVMA is seeking feedback in relation to the draft data guideline to ensure it provides clear information and guidance to assist applicants.
The consultation period is open until close of business on Friday 4 September 2015. Following consideration of comments received during the consultation period the data guideline will be finalised and made available on the APVMA website by 1 December 2015.
All submissions will be published unless you state in your submission that you do not want the submission to be published.
