When the HSNO regime came into force, some substances had approvals from other regimes brought directly into the HSNO regime. These were performed using transfer approval, which were published in the New Zealand gazette.
Due to the complexity of the transfer, there were some aspects that had to be amended. The Environmental Risk Management Authority (the predecessor to the EPA) produced consolidated versions of the gazette notices to assist those who were using them.
The transfer notices are not particularly user-friendly for finding out the controls associated with the substance. You may wish to look up the substance in our databases instead.
As a result of the EPA adopting a new hazard classification regime, the EPA is updating all the hazardous substances approvals. You can find these updated approvals at the hazardous substance approvals page. Once the approval has been updated, the approval in the transfer notices are no longer relevant.

Summary of Approvals of Substances Transferred Under the Hazardous Substances
There is a transfer notice for sodium fluoroacetate (1080), however this has been superceded by our reassessment of sodium fluoroacetate (application number HRE05002).
The Hazardous Substances (Group Standards) Notice 2006 has been superceded by the 2017 group standards. However, aspects of these group standards are in force until 2021.

In February 2018 we produced a consolidated version of the Hazardous Substances (Storage and Disposal of Persistent Organic Pollutants) Notice 2004, Hazardous Substances (Disposal of Persistent Organic Pollutants) Notice 2015, and Hazardous Substances (Storage and Disposal of Persistent Organic Pollutants) Amendment Notice 2016.
It is a reference only and compiled from Gazette Notices made under the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996.
