VTA 'Slice of Life'

The 'slice of life' review of VTA manufacturing has been completed. Although the report has not been finalised by the Compliance and Investigation Group (CIG), the review found some important compliance issues:

• the requirement for everyone in the supply chain to have a controlled substances licence was not being met

• record keeping, which is a condition of registration, was not 'up to scratch'.

When the report is completed, the ACVM Group will work with ERMA NZ to advise manufacturers about their obligations under the Agricultural Compounds and Veterinary Medicines (ACVM) Act and the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms (HSNO) Act.
