Anyone can apply to have a substance reviewed or reassessed.
Review of the classification of a substance
If you have information indicating that the classification of a substance may not be correct and you would like us to review it.
Correcting a technical error or make a change that is minor in effect
A hazardous substance approval may be amended via a minor or technical amendment.
A reassessment
The first step is applying for grounds. This means providing a good reason to review a substance that is already approved.
Once grounds have been decided, an application for full or modified reassessment must be prepared.
A full reassessment involves a full assessment of the effects of a substance and the controls that have been imposed on it.
A modified reassessment is where a specific aspect of an approval is
reassessed.
Amending a group standard approval
An existing group standard approval may be amended by initiative of the Authority or on application by any person.
