Information Waivers

The ACVM Group has been receiving queries from applicants on when an information waiver is required, and whether it needs to be submitted with the review and evaluation (R&E) application or separately.

The guidance document can be found on our website (http://www.nzfsa.govt.nz/acvm/subject/registration/information-waivers.htm). This document outlines the types of situations where an information waiver application is required. In general terms, the more complicated the information waiver request the more likely the ACVM Group will require its submission prior to submitting the R&E application. As R&E applications are subject to regulatory timeframes, it is difficult to complete them within this timeframe while a complicated information waiver request is being processed concurrently. If you are unsure whether an information waiver is required, or whether it should be submitted prior to or with the R&E application, please contact the ACVM Group for advice.
