Registration renewals – your thoughts, please!

As advised in our communication with registrants, a trade name product’s registration expires three years after approval. So what happens on expiry? The ACVM Group proposes the following procedure:

• ACVM Group system will generate a generic letter to send to registrants whose products are expiring

• Registrant will submit a Product Data Sheet and labels to the ACVM Group

• ACVM Group will treat this as a C9 ‘administration type‘ application

• ACVM Group will have 15 working days to process the application
(time to process = approximately one hour)

• Charging will be based on actual time taken.

If a third party is involved in giving information for the registration of a product, e.g. formulations supplied by an overseas company, it will be the registrant’s responsibility to source this information to ensure that the ACVM Group is fully informed.

The ACVM Group would appreciate your thoughts and input on this proposal so we can implement the requirements as soon as possible. However, if you have products that are expiring within the next month or two, we suggest you provide the above information to avoid delays. Send comments to:
