Notice—New Agricultural Chemical Products - Propylene Oxide in the product Dibbs Progas Fumigant

NOTICE—NEW AGRICULTURAL CHEMICAL PRODUCTS

Propylene Oxide in the product Dibbs Progas Fumigant

The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) has before it an application from

RA DIBBS & SONS PTY LTD for registration of a new product containing the Propylene Oxide. The product is DIBBS

PROGAS FUMIGANT. The product is for use to control microbiological spoilage in shelled almonds.

PARTICULARS OF THE APPLICATION

Proposed Product Name(s): DIBBS PROGAS FUMIGANT

Applicant Company: RA DIBBS & SONS PTY LTD

Name of Active Constituent: Propylene Oxide

Signal Heading: Schedule 7

Summary of Proposed Use: For the control microbiological spoilage in shelled almonds

Pack Sizes: 200L

Withholding Period: DO NOT apply to nuts within 15 Days of shipment for use for human

consumption

SUMMARY OF THE APVMA’S EVALUATION OF DIBBS PROGAS FUMIGANT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION

14(3)(E) AND (F) OF THE AGRICULTURAL AND VETERINARY CHEMICALS CODE (THE ‘AGVET CODE’),

SCHEDULED TO THE AGRICULTURAL AND VETERINARY CHEMICALS CODE ACT 1994

The APVMA has evaluated the application and in its assessment in relation to human and environmental safety under section 14(3)(e) of the Agvet Code, it proposes to determine that:

(i) The APVMA is satisfied that the proposed use of Dibbs Progas Fumigant would not be an undue hazard to the

safety of people exposed to it during its handling and use when used in accordance with the proposed label

directions.

The Office of Chemical Safety (OCS) in the Department of Health and Ageing has conducted a risk assessment on

the product and concluded that it can be used safely when used in accordance with the proposed label directions.

Based on worker exposure data, the toxicology data and other information on the product provided and considered

in the risk assessment, the First Aid Instructions, Warning Statement, Safety Directions, Precaution Statements and

Re-handling statement have been established to minimise worker exposure to the lowest practicable level, i.e.

below 5 ppm propylene oxide for short term exposure, and below 1 ppm for long term exposure

The APVMA accepts the findings and recommendations of the OCS evaluation.

(ii) The APVMA is satisfied that the proposed use of Dibbs Progas Fumigant will not be an undue hazard to the safety

of people using anything containing its residues provided the product is used in accordance with the proposed label

directions.

The APVMA are proposing to recommend the inclusion of an MRL for propylene oxide in almonds of 100mg/kg.

Both long term (chronic) and short term (acute) dietary exposure as estimated by the National Estimated Dietary

Intake and National Estimated Short Term Intake calculations respectively are acceptable.



(iii) The APVMA is satisfied that the proposed use of DIBBS PROGAS FUMIGANT containing the active constituent

Propylene Oxide is not likely to be harmful to human beings if used according to the product label directions.

The product Dibbs Progas Fumigant is a liquid (vapour producing) formulation containing the active ingredient

propylene oxide at 830 g/L. It will be used in fumigation of almonds for the control of insects and microbiological

spoilage. It is new to the Australian market and is intended as a replacement for fumigants such as methyl bromide,

ethylene dibromide and ethylene oxide.

In animal studies, propylene oxide is of moderate acute oral and dermal toxicity, and low inhalational toxicity.

However, acute exposure to 400 ppm is likely to be immediately dangerous to life and health in humans. Propylene

oxide is a moderate to severe irritant to skin and eyes, and may cause allergic contact dermatitis in humans.

First aid and Safety Directions recommended by the Office of Chemical Safety have been included on the label.

The APVMA accepts the findings and recommendations of its advisors on these criteria.

(iv) The APVMA is satisfied that the proposed use of DIBBS PROGAS FUMIGANT is not likely to have an unintended

effect that is harmful to animals, plants or the environment if used according to the product label directions.

The proposed use of Dibbs Progas Fumigant is limited to fumigation chambers fitted with scrubbers and mist

eliminators to ensure environmental release of the exhaust gas is negligible. There are sufficient data available in

literature sources to perform an adequate risk assessment. DSEWPaC concludes that use of propylene oxide as a

fumigant of commodities to control microbial contamination does not present a hazard to the environment, provided

that, the label recommendations are followed when using the product and fumigation occurs in airtight chambers

fitted with efficient scrubbers to remove propylene oxide.

(v) The APVMA is considering whether the proposed use of DIBBS PROGAS FUMIGANT would not adversely affect

trade between Australia and places outside Australia.

(vi) In relation to its assessment of efficacy under section 14(3)(f), the APVMA is satisfied that data from trials

supporting the efficacy of the product adequately demonstrate that if used according to the product label directions,

the product is effective for its proposed uses.

Other Notices - Reconsideration of Active Constituents, Selected Registrations and Label Approvals Related to Diuron

Reconsideration of Active Constituents, Selected Registrations and Label Approvals Related to Diuron

This is a republication of the diuron notice from the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette for Agricultural and Veterinary

Chemicals, No. APVMA 6, 27 March 2012, in order to correct information in Table 4 on page 28 of this Gazette.

The APVMA, in accordance with Part 2, Division 4, of the Agvet Codes, has reconsidered all approvals of the active

constituent diuron, registrations of all products containing diuron and the approvals of all associated product labels.

Diuron is a broad-spectrum residual herbicide used in agriculture for pre- and post-emergent control of broadleaf and

grass weeds. It was first registered in Australia in 1978. As at 20 February 2012 there are currently 101 registered

products containing diuron of which 66 are affected by the suspension proposal.

The APVMA commenced its review of products containing diuron in 2002 due to concerns about the potential impact of

diuron on the environment and to human health. Of particular concern was the impact of diuron use on aquatic

ecosystems, including the Great Barrier Reef.

A Preliminary Review Findings (PRF) Report was released for public comment in July 2005. This report identified that for

most uses specified on labels, there was the potential for diuron to result in adverse effects on aquatic species.

A maximum rate of 0.9 kg ac/ha was proposed at this time.

Following the assessment of a significant amount of new data and information the 2005 environmental assessment

component of the review report was substantially revised and published as the 2011 Report. The 2011 environmental

assessment was very different from the 2005 PRF, utilising revised ecotoxicity endpoints, improved modelling, a greater

use of monitoring data, and consideration of risks associated with all diuron uses in broadacre agriculture. The PRF

focussed primarily on use in sugarcane. The 2011 environmental assessment report, as with the 2005 PRF, identified

risks to aquatic environments from all uses of diuron. The 2011 report identified risks to primary and secondary streams

based on adverse impacts on algae and aquatic plants, but not to the Great Barrier Reef.

The toxicology assessment prepared as part of the review was also published in 2011. This assessment identified that

there were no concerns for public health with the continued approval of diuron active constituent.

On the 24 November 2011 the APVMA suspended the registrations and label approvals of 66 registered diuron products.

The suspension was put in place until 31 March 2012 during which time new information was to be assessed and a

revised environmental assessment report prepared. New instructions for the use of diuron during the suspension period

were issued via APVMA permits (PER13198 and PER13239).

This suspension did not affect antifouling paints, aquarium or pond products containing diuron.

The APVMA has now completed the reconsideration of the active constituent approvals of diuron, registrations of

selected products containing diuron and the approvals of all associated product labels.

Following the finalisation of its reconsideration of diuron, the APVMA is satisfied that active constituents of diuron (listed

in Table 1) meet the requirements for continued approval. As a result, the active constituent approvals for diuron are

affirmed.

The APVMA is satisfied that the requirements for continued registration of selected antifouling paints, aquarium and pond

products and approval of associated labels are met. On this basis the registration of these products and associated label

approvals in Table 2 have been affirmed.

The APVMA has also cancelled all previously approved labels for these products (s.41 of the Agvet Codes) as they no

longer contain adequate instructions for the safe use of the products. Cancelled labels are denoted with ‘c’ in Table 2

below. A 2 year period from the date of cancellation will apply for the phase out of products bearing a cancelled label.

such a way that the products can be used without being likely to have an unintended effect that is harmful to animals,

plants or things, or to the environment. Accordingly, the APVMA has varied the label particulars [s.34(5) of the Agvet

Codes]. On this basis the APVMA is satisfied that continued registration of these products in accordance with their

instructions for use would not be likely to have an unintended effect that is harmful to animals, plants or things or to the

environment. The APVMA has affirmed the registration of these products.

Other Notices - Amendments to the APVMA MRL Standard

Amendments to the APVMA MRL Standard

The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) approves maximum residue limits (MRLs) of

agricultural and veterinary chemicals in agricultural produce, particularly produce entering the food chain. The MRLs

approved by the APVMA are associated with a regulatory decision to register a product, grant a permit approval, or as an

outcome from a review decision and are set out in the MRL Standard published by the APVMA. The MRL Standard lists

MRLs of substances that may arise from the approved use of agricultural and veterinary chemical products containing

those substances on commodities used for human consumption as well as livestock feeds. The MRL Standard also

provides the relevant residue definitions to which these MRLs apply. There may be situations where the residue

definition for monitoring and enforcement is different to the definition used for dietary risk assessment purposes.

MRLs are set at levels which are not likely to be exceeded if the agricultural or veterinary chemicals are used in

accordance with approved label instructions. In considering MRLs and variation to MRLs, the APVMA takes into account

studies on chemistry, metabolism, analytical methodology, residues, toxicology, good agricultural practice and dietary

exposure. In approving MRLs, the APVMA is satisfied, from dietary exposure assessment, that the levels set are not an

undue hazard to human health.

The MRL Standard is accessible via the APVMA website www.apvma.gov.au.

The APVMA has varied the MRL Standard as set out below with effect from the date of this notice.

Other Notices - Proposal to Amend Standard 1.4.2 of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code

Proposal to Amend Standard 1.4.2 of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code

In the previous notice, the APVMA gazetted particular amendments which it has approved varying maximum residue

limits (MRLs) for substances contained in agricultural and veterinary chemical products as set out as in the APVMA’s

MRL Standard.

Under Section 82 of the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991 the APVMA is proposing to incorporate these

variations (numbered 11O) to MRLs into Standard 1.4.2 - Maximum Residue Limits of the Australia New Zealand Food

Standards Code.

MRLs contained in Standard 1.4.2 provide the limits for residues of agricultural and veterinary chemicals that may

legitimately occur in foods. By this means, Standard 1.4.2 permits the sale of treated foods and protects public health

and safety by minimising residues in foods consistent with the effective control of pests and diseases.

The APVMA and FSANZ are satisfied, based on dietary exposure assessments and current health standards, that the

proposed limits are not harmful to public health.

The Agreement between the Government of Australia and the Government of New Zealand concerning a Joint Food

Standards System, excludes MRLs for agricultural and veterinary chemicals in food from the system setting joint food

standards. Australia and New Zealand independently and separately develop MRLs for agricultural and veterinary

chemicals in food.

Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) will make a Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) notification to the World

Trade Organization (WTO).

The APVMA invites comment on these proposals. Details on how to make a submission appear near the end of this

notice, below the details of the proposed amendment.

The APVMA will consider any public comments made in response to this proposal. If the APVMA decides to proceed with

the proposal, it will further notify any variations it makes to Standard 1.4.2 in the APVMA Gazette. The variations will take

effect as from the date of that subsequent notice.



DRAFT VARIATIONS TO THE AUSTRALIA NEW ZEALAND FOOD STANDARDS CODE

Note: The following amendments are in a format that accords with the proposed amending Legislative Instrument

which, in turn, has to be consistent with the existing format of Standard 1.4.2 (Maximum Residue Limits) of the

Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT NO. 11O

Note: Subsection 82(2) of the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991 provides that variations to standards

are legislative instruments, but are not subject to disallowance or sunsetting.

To commence: on gazettal of variation

Standard 1.4.2 of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code is varied by –

1. inserting in alphabetical order in Schedule 1, the foods and associated MRLs for each of the following chemicals –

INVITATION FOR SUBMISSIONS

Written submissions are invited from interested individuals and organisations to assist the APVMA in considering the

proposal to vary Standard 1.4.2 - Maximum Residue Limits of the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code.

Submissions should be strictly confined to relevant matters that the APVMA must consider (such as public health and

safety) which are associated with the occurrence of the proposed residues in foods. Comments received outside these

grounds will not be considered by the APVMA. Claims made in submissions should be supported wherever possible by

referencing or including relevant studies, research findings, trials, surveys etc. Technical information should be in

sufficient detail to allow independent scientific assessment.

Please note that FSANZ will make a SPS notification to the WTO and submissions related to impacts on international

trade should be made to FSANZ in response to that notification.

All personal and confidential commercial information (CCI)2 material contained in submissions to the APVMA will be

treated confidentially.

Submissions must be made in writing and should be clearly marked as a ‘submission on the proposed amendment to

Standard 1.4.2’ and quote the correct amendment number.

2 A full definition of "confidential commercial information" is contained in the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code (Agvet Code),

which is scheduled to the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Act 1994.
