Objective of Notice

This notice amends the following EPA notices in order to implement the new hazard classification system contained in the Hazardous Substances (Hazard Classification) Notice 2020.

Hazardous Substances (Labelling) Notice 2017 (New Zealand Gazette, 3 November 2017, Notice No. 2017-au5641)

Hazardous Substances (Importers and Manufacturers) Notice 2015 (New Zealand Gazette, 22 October 2015, Notice No. 2015-au6161)

This notice also revokes the existing Hazardous Substances (Classification) Notice 2017 (New Zealand Gazette, 3 November 2017, Notice No. 2017-au5634) and the Hazardous Substances (Minimum Degrees of Hazard) Notice 2017 (New Zealand Gazette, 3 November 2017, Notice No. 2017-au5631) which are replaced by the Hazardous Substances (Hazard Classification) Notice 2020 (New Zealand Gazette, 29 October 2020, Notice No. 2020-au4842).

Extent of Consultation

This notice reflects the amendments made to the six EPA notices listed in the objective and revokes the Hazardous Substances (Classification) Notice 2017 and the Hazardous Substances (Minimum Degrees of Hazard) Notice 2017. This notice itself was not made available for public consultation.

The Authority publicly notified its intention to implement a new classification system on 29 October 2019 by publishing a consultation document on its website. It invited comments by 9 January 2020. The revocation of the Hazardous Substances (Classification) Notice 2017 and the Hazardous Substances (Minimum Degrees of Hazard) Notice 2017 and the consequential amendments proposed to six EPA notices were described in this consultation document.

A second consultation was carried out between 8 June 2020 and 4 August 2020 seeking further feedback. Exposure drafts of consolidated versions of the six EPA notices with the proposed amendments were provided in this consultation.

Both consultation documents were also sent to relevant persons in accordance with section 76C(1)(c) of the Act, and other interested parties.

Comments received from the public consultations were taken into account by the Authority during the drafting of this notice.
