Dangerous Goods Regulations (65th Edition 2024).
Note 2   Examples of use of, or failure to use, an extended validity period:
         * If an employee successfully completes their initial training course on 14 May 2024, their training validity would normally expire on 14 May 2026. Under the exemption and the condition in subsection 5(1), it would expire at the end of May 2026.
         * If recurrent training of an employee was required by 14 May under the normal "every 2 years" validity period, and the training is completed between 1 March 2026 and the end of May 2026, and where the end of the next training validity period would normally expire 24 months from the date that the recurrent training occurred, under the exemption and condition in subsection 5(2) it would expire at the end of May 2028.
         * If recurrent training of an employee who has previously used an extended validity period is required before the end of May 2026, and the training is completed between 1 March 2026 and the end of May 2026 (within the final quarter), the end of the next extended validity period occurs 24 months after the end of May 2028.
         * If recurrent training of an employee is required before the end of May 2026 but that training is completed more than 3 months before the end of May 2026 (before the final quarter), the new expiry date is the end of the month, including the second anniversary of the day they completed that training. For instance, if the extended validity period is due to expire at the end of May 2026 but they complete recurrent training on 28 February 2026, under the exemption it would expire at the end of February 2028.

6 Direction
       (1) If an exempted person chooses to make use of the extended validity period mentioned in subsection 5(1), the exempted person must, in writing, provide CASA with details of the training given to the exempted person's employees, including dates of commencement and completion, on request by a CASA officer.
       (2) This direction ceases to be in force at the end of 31 May 2027.
