 (1) For the purposes of subparagraph 87(1)(b)(ii) of the Code (which deals with standards for chemical products), all chemical products are prescribed.
 (3) For paragraph 87(1)(a) of the Code, the standard prescribed for a chemical product, or a constituent contained in a chemical product, is:
 (a) for a product or constituent in respect of which a standard is specified in an order under section 7 of the Act—that standard; or
 (b) for a product or constituent (other than a product or constituent to which paragraph (a) applies) in respect of which a standard has been made under section 6E of the Code—that standard; or
 (c) for a listed chemical product (other than a product to which paragraph (a) or (b) applies) mentioned in column 2 of item 1 of Part 2 of Schedule 3B—the established standard for the product; or
 (d) for a listed chemical product (other than a product to which paragraph (a) or (b) applies) mentioned in column 2 of item 2 of Part 2 of Schedule 3B—the established standard for the product; or
 (e) for a veterinary chemical product or a constituent (other than a product or constituent to which paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d) applies) in respect of which a standard is specified in:
 (i) the British Pharmacopoeia; or
 (ii) the British Pharmacopoeia (Veterinary); or

 (g) for a product or constituent (other than a product or constituent to which paragraph (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) applies) in respect of which the APVMA approved a standard before 1 July 2014 and the approval is still in force—that standard.
 (4) If no standard is prescribed under subregulation (3) in respect of the concentration of an active constituent of a particular chemical product, the standard in respect of the concentration of that active constituent is the standard set out in the following table:

Concentration of each active constituent as specified on the product label (g/kg or g/L at 20˚C)   Standard (allowable variation)
500 or more                                                                                         25 g/kg or g/L of the active constituent
From 250 up to but not including 500                                                                5% of the content of the active constituent
From 100 up to but not including 250                                                                6% of the content of
