Usability of the proposed APVMA Labelling Standard
Purpose
The APVMA has revised the Labelling Standard in line with the recent labelling reforms. The document below includes requirements for:
- information contained on labels
- the placement of information on labels
- the label layout and format
- label legibility
Regulation 18E imposes a condition of label approval that the label must comply with a labelling standard.
The Standard has been developed based on those aspects of the Ag Labelling Code or the Vet Labelling Code (Volume 5 of MORAG) that are mandatory for labelling.
See more information on the consultation process for the labelling reforms.
Input sought
The APVMA invites comment on the usability and practicality of the revised Labelling Standard (PDF, 838kb) | (DOC, 1.7Mb) from 22 July to 19 August 2011.
The content of the Labelling Standard is excluded from this consultation. This is determined by legislation.
