Proposed amendments to the Poisons Standard referred to advisory committees
We are consulting on applications and delegate-initiated proposals to amend the Poisons Standard. The proposed amendments and any submissions received will be considered at the June 2023 meetings of the Advisory Committee on Medicines Scheduling (ACMS) and the ACMS and Advisory Committee on Chemicals Scheduling (ACCS) in joint session (Joint ACMS-ACCS).
The closing date for this consultation is close of business 17 MAY 2023. All submissions received by the deadline will be considered by the delegate before they make an interim decision.
The proposals under consultation are detailed in the public notice of June 2023.
Substances for which public comment is sought:
ACMS:
SUBSTANCE 1a: BISACODYL
SUBSTANCE 1b: OLOPATADINE
JOINT ACMS-ACCS:
SUBSTANCE 2a: LEAD (in anti-fouling paints)
SUBSTANCE 2b: IBOTENIC ACID
SUBSTANCE 2c: AMYGDALIN AND HYDROCYANIC ACID
All public submissions will be published on the TGA website at Public submissions on scheduling matters, unless marked confidential or indicated otherwise in the submission information (see Privacy and your Personal information).
Public submissions are an important part of the process for amending the Poison Standard, and are published on the TGA website using the consultation hub. Submissions by the public may not reflect the views of the Department of Health and Aged Care or TGA. Published submissions should not be taken as being endorsed by the Department or TGA.
Following consideration of public submissions received before the closing date and advice from the expert advisory committee/s, decisions on the proposed amendments are anticipated to be published as interim decisions on the TGA website: Scheduling delegate's interim decisions & invitations for further comment in September 2023.
