Transfer of 1080 into HSNO
When ERMA transferred vertebrate toxic agents into the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms (HSNO) Act 1996 on 1 November 2004, 1080 products were not included. ERMA had decided that transferring 1080 products at that time could cause confusion with the reassessment of 1080, which was expected to occur late 2004 or early 2005.
ERMA has announced it will now transfer 1080 products into HSNO because of the delay in the 1080 reassessment. This means relevant industry sectors will need to implement their changes sooner than they expected for 1080 products.
The impact of this change on the ACVM Group should be minimal because it has already advised registrants of requirements for 1080 products. However, the change may mean some adjustments to the ACVM Group implementation timeframe to allow registrants to align their labels with HSNO requirements.
