Agsafe Limited's (Agsafe) current authorisations, A91027 - A91030, expire on 29 June 2010. To allow Agsafe to continue to enforce the Agsafe Code of Conduct (The Code) Agsafe has applied for revocation of its expiring authorisations and substitution with new authorisations.
The Code requires persons and premises involved in the storage, handling, transport and distribution of agricultural and veterinary chemicals to be accredited through the Agsafe Accreditation and Training Program. The Code also provides for the imposition of trading sanctions on persons and premises that are not accredited, and manufacturers and retailers that continue to trade with those who are sanctioned. Agsafe seeks authorisation for three years to allow it to transition the industry to a new incentive based accreditation and training program.
