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.
When the HSNO regime came into force, substances that were approved under other legislation were given approvals under the HSNO regime. This was done by issuing hazardous substances transfer notices, which were published in the New Zealand Gazette.
Some transfer notices were amended to incorporate changes. The Environmental Risk Management Authority (the predecessor to the EPA) produced consolidated versions of the gazette notices to help people using them.
Note: the transfer notices are no longer in effect and are retained here for historical purposes only. in 2021 we adopted a new hazard classification regime and updated all hazardous substance approvals – these supersede the transfer approvals.
You can search the hazardous substance approvals and use our databases to search hazardous substance classifications and controls.
