Chemical Review Program

The Chemical Review Program reviews the registration of pesticides and veterinary medicines where potential safety and performance risks have been identified. It is one of a number of APVMA programs that monitor the ongoing quality and safety of registered products.

A review may be prompted when new research or information raises concerns about the use or safety of a particular chemical or product.

Reviews may focus on one or more areas of priority such as environmental safety, worker safety, public health, residues, trade or efficacy.

For a chemical to continue to be registered at the completion of a review, the APVMA must be assured the product remains safe and effective when used according to the instructions on the label.

There are three possible outcomes from a review:

• the APVMA is satisfied that products are safe and effective, and the use of the chemical can continue based on existing instructions

• the APVMA has identified that some aspects of the chemical or its use may not be safe and therefore makes changes to the conditions of registration and/or the label instructions

• the APVMA is not satisifed that continued use of the chemical will be safe and effective, and suspends or cancels the chemical.
