SUSPENSION OF PRODUCTS CONTAINING DIMETHOATE AND
ASSOCIATED LABEL APPROVALS
On 6 October
2011, the APVMA suspended the registrations and label approvals for
the agricultural chemical
products containing dimethoate identified in the table below.  The decisions to suspend the registrations and label
approvals were made under subsections 41(1) and 41(3)
of the _Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Act _
_1994 _(AGVET CODE).
The product registrations and label approvals have been suspended for a 12 month period ending on 5 October
2012.
The APVMA
has also cancelled certain permits authorising the use of products containing dimethoate.
Active constituent approvals are not affected by the APVMA’s suspension decision of 6 October
2011.
REASONS FOR SUSPENSION
The APVMA
has decided that the continued use of, or other dealings with products containing dimethoate may
be an undue hazard to the safety of people using anything containing dimethoate residues.  In addition, the
APVMA
has decided that the instructions on approved labels associated with those products may no longer be
adequate.
In January 2011, the APVMA
published the toxicology component of the report prepared by the Office of
Chemical Safety (OCS
)
in connection with the APVMA’s review of dimethoate: _Human Health Risk Assessment _
_of Dimethoate_ (the OCS REPORT).  The OCS
Report revised the public health standards for dimethoate.
The Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for
dimethoate was reduced from 0.02 mg/kg bw/day to 0.001 mg/kg bw
