8AB  Safety criteria—chemical products
 (1) For subparagraph 5A(3)(a)(vii) of the Code, the following are prescribed matters for a chemical product:
 (a) for all chemical products—the method of analysis (if any) of the chemical composition and form of the constituents of the chemical product;
 (b) for a product manufactured in Australia—whether each step in the manufacture of the product complies, or will comply, with the manufacturing principles and the Australian GMP Code;
 (c) for a product manufactured outside Australia—whether each step in the manufacture of the product complies, or will comply, with a standard that the APVMA has determined is comparable to the manufacturing principles and the Australian GMP Code;
 (d) for a molluscicide in the form of a bait and of which the active constituent is metaldehyde:
 (i) whether the product contains sufficient green pigment or dye to colour the bait a distinctive green colour; and
 (ii) whether the product contains, in the bait, any bone meal or other product of animal origin;
 (e) for a molluscicide in the form of a bait and of which the active constituent is methiocarb:
 (i) whether the product contains sufficient blue pigment or dye to colour the bait a distinctive blue colour; and
 (ii) whether the product contains, in the bait, any bone meal or other product of animal origin;
 (f) for an agricultural chemical product to be applied to seeds to be stored before planting or sowing—whether the product contains sufficient pigment or dye to colour the seed to enable the seed to be readily distinguished from seed to which the product has not been applied.
