Application workshops

The ACVM Group is planning a series of workshops for February 2002. The objective of the workshops will be to update stakeholders on changes to the requirements for applications for registration resulting from the commencement of the ACVM Act and to listen to any suggestions for improvements on the current processes.

The proposed workshops will be designed for regulatory affairs personnel, consultants and all others who submit applications for the registration of agricultural compounds. The workshops will therefore focus primarily on providing advice on the essential requirements for applications and also on the mechanisms and processes that should be followed to maximise the opportunity for an application to be approved.

Topics currently proposed for the workshop include:

• the ideal application (plant compounds)
• the ideal application (veterinary medicines)
• information waivers – when to submit them and how to justify your request
• research approvals/ provisional registrations
• class determinations.

Dates, times and other details on the proposed workshops will be provided in the next issue of Agvetlink or advertised on the website. Please submit any suggestions you have for other topics that should be covered to:
