AgVetLink for PAR Traders September 2004

Why must traders be approved by the ACVM Group?

The ACVM Group’s interest in trading stems from the restrictions it has imposed on the availability of PAR products. Such products must be held securely and supplied only to people who have the appropriate authorisation and only in accordance with a veterinary prescription, authorisation or instruction.

Approval of ‘trading entities’ (see article above) is the tool the ACVM Group will use to ensure that PAR products are being managed according to the ACVM Standard for Prescription Animal Remedy Veterinary Medicines and the conditions of registration for such products.

The appropriate authorisation for holding PAR products can come only from a registered veterinarian or an approved trading entity. Authorisation for supplying PAR products to end users can come only from a registered veterinarian.
