Modified SDMT for the recalculation of buffer zones for products under PER93132
The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) has released a modified version of its Sp
SDMT for the recalculation of buffer zones for products under PER93132
Modern product labels contain spray drift restraints, which may include mandatory buffer zones (also known as ‘no spray zones’).
In the absence of any specific direction from the applicant, spray drift restraints are determined by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) using the maximum use rate, minimum droplet size, and other ‘worst case’ application parameters contained within the Spray Drift Management Tool (SDMT).
Data guidelines
Data guidelines provide applicants with guidance on what data and information to prepare and provide to support their application. For the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) to grant approval or registration, we must be satisfied that the safety, trade and efficacy criteria relevant to the particular product or active are met.
The guidelines also increase the transparency – and predictability – of APVMA decision-making under the Agvet Code. The guidelines are not intended to be prescriptive and should not be perceived as APVMA requirements.
