OTHER NOTICES 
CONTINUED SUSPENSION OF PRODUCTS CONTAINING DIMETHOATE AND  
ASSOCIATED LABEL APPROVALS 
The APVMA
has continued the suspension of the registrations and label approvals for agricultural chemical products 
containing dimethoate identified in the table below.  The decisions to extend the suspensions of the registrations and 
label approvals were made under sections 41(1) and 41(3)
of the Agvet Code. 
The suspension of product registrations and label approvals are in effect until 5 OCTOBER
2013.  
Active constituent approvals are n
ot affected by the APVMA’s decision to continue this suspension. 
REASONS FOR CONTINUING THE SUSPENSION   
The APVMA
suspended all products containing dimethoate and their associated labels on 6 October
2011. The dietary 
exposure concerns that formed the basis of this original suspension of label approvals and product registrations have not 
altered. Therefore continued suspension is necessary to ensure that the use of products containing dimethoate does not 
result in any undue hazard to the safety of people or
have an effect that is harmful to human beings.
