AgVetLink February 2005
Vertebrate Toxic Agents
The ACVM Group is in the final stages of finalising the registration conditions for vertebrate toxic agents (VTAs) after two rounds of consultation with relevant parties.
Because information requirements for VTAs are different than requirements for veterinary medicines (and plant compounds), the ACVM Group is also finalising separate VTA registration requirement documents and standards.
It is hoped to have the above completed by the end of February 2005. This means that a number of VTAs will have significant changes to their registration conditions and labelling requirements.
However, with the delay in transfer of 1080 by ERMA affecting the replacement of the old VPC licensing scheme with the new one, VTAs subject to this old licensing requirement cannot be updated with the new conditions of registration. Their updating will occur once the 1080 review has been completed.
