Agricultural Products
Expert in APVMA product registration with hands-on experience across Item 5, 6, and 7 applications
Australia (APVMA – Agvet Code)
The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) determines whether an agricultural product requires registration based on its intended use, active constituents, and the claims made. Products that fall under the Agvet Code must be registered before sale, unless specifically exempt. The APVMA assesses data on safety, efficacy, and trade impacts, and approves product labels to ensure claims are accurate and not misleading. We have hand on experiences doing different modules as per the product such as Item 5, 6, 7 applications.
New Zealand (MPI – ACVM Act)
Agricultural compounds in New Zealand are managed under the Agricultural Compounds and Veterinary Medicines (ACVM) Act by the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI). Products must either be registered or qualify for exemption, depending on their nature, claims, and risk profile. Registration requires demonstrating that the product is suitable for purpose, safe for users and the environment, not misleading, and does not threaten trade or agricultural security. Have hand on experience in doing HSNO applications, hazard analysis, A1, A2, B1, & B2 applications for Plant Growth Harmone’s, fertilizers, and etc.

Veterinary Medicines and Animal Health
Veterinary medicines and animal health products are regulated to safeguard animal welfare, human safety, and international trade
Australia (APVMA – Agvet Code)
Veterinary chemical products that claim to control a condition in animals or deliver health benefits must be registered with the APVMA. Registration is determined by active ingredients, intended purpose, and claims made. Only products that are exempt under the Agvet Code are excluded from this requirement. The APVMA evaluates safety (for animals, humans, and the environment), efficacy, and trade aspects before approving veterinary medicines. Product labels are also reviewed to ensure accurate claims and compliance with statutory requirements.We have hand on experiences doing different modules as per the product such as Item5, 6, 7 applications.
New Zealand (MPI – ACVM Act)
Veterinary medicines in New Zealand are defined under the ACVM Act as compounds administered to animals for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes. Registration or exemption depends on the product type, level of risk, and claims made. MPI’s ACVM team assesses whether the product is fit for purpose, safe for animals and users, effective, and not misleading before granting approval. Products that could impact public safety, animal welfare, or trade are subject to tighter control.
