for scheduling).
Substances may be included in Appendix B because they have intrinsically low toxicity, or where other factors suggest that the potential public health risk would be minimal. Factors which are considered when determining an Appendix B entry include:
       * the toxicology profile was adequately characterised and not consistent with inclusion in any of the Schedules;
       * the use, purpose or product presentation minimised any hazard to the public such as to not require scheduling; or
       * the public access was limited such that scheduling was inappropriate or unnecessary.
The list of substances included in Appendix B was developed from scheduling files and historical records. For transparency, where the reason for entry and/or purpose or use for the substance was apparent in the consideration, this has been included in the columns "Reason for Entry" and "Area of Use".
Inclusion in Appendix B will not prevent reconsideration of the scheduling of a substance where adverse information becomes available about the Appendix B entry for that substance.
Applications are considered for scheduling. Applications for inclusion in Appendix B will not be accepted.

Appendix D (Additional controls on possession or supply of poisons included in Schedule 4 or 8)
Appendix D lists poisons included in Schedule 4 or 8 where additional specified controls apply on possession or supply.

Appendix E (First aid instructions for poisons)
Under poisons legislation, scheduled substances and their preparations are required to be labelled with appropriate directions for first aid attention in case of poisoning. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer, packer and supplier of a drug or poison to ensure that the first aid instructions included on the label of a poison are appropriate for a specific product. Standard statements have been prepared as a guide for health authorities and manufacturers in drafting suitable first aid directions for this purpose. Standard statements specified in Appendix E may be varied provided that the intent is not changed.
The directions listed for any particular substance may require modification to take into account combination of that substance with other substances, both toxic and non‑toxic, in a formulation, as well as the physical form and presentation of the product. Any such modification should be concise and readily understood.
The First Aid Instructions include action to be taken in case of eye contamination from substances recognised as causing direct poisoning via the eye, causing severe eye damage or requiring prolonged flushing to free the absorbed substance from the eye tissue. However, it is recognised that many other substances or preparations will require a statement of varying nature depending on the detailed formulation. While the necessity to flush the eyes in case of accident
