� efficacious ( that is , the product does the job it claims it shall do ); and � not unduly prejudicial to trade .
The APVMA uses the services of a number of Australian and State government agencies as advisers to help with some of these evaluations of applications for registration of agricultural and veterinary chemical products . These include : � the Office of Chemical Safety ( OCS ) of the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing which :
� evaluates and reports on toxicology and metabolism studies ; proposes first aid and safety directions ; determines poison schedule classifications ; and establishes acceptable daily intakes ( ADIs ) and acute reference doses ( ARfD ); and
� evaluates the occupational health and safety aspects of an application and recommends safety directions and occupational controls on use and advises on a Material Safety Data Sheet ( MSDS );
� the Commonwealth Department of the Environment and Heritage ( DEH ) which evaluates environmental data and recommends appropriate use controls and instructions for the product that will protect the environment ; and
� State and Territory departments responsible for agricultural and primary industries which evaluate and reports on efficacy and target crop or animal safety data for new agricultural chemicals and new uses of registered products . In some cases the APVMA contracts this work out to other agencies such as universities , the CSIRO or to other experts .
Although all ingredients appear in the Australian Inventory of Chemical Substances ( AICS ), they have not been assessed by NICNAS ( National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme )
