Industry Technical Committee (no longer in operation)

This committee was discontinued on 24 May 2010.

Historical purpose

The Industry Technical Committee was created by the Industry Liaison Committee (ILC) to:

  • improve the functioning of the ILC both for industry and the APVMA by dealing with specific technical issues
  • provide a forum for peak industry and technical/professional bodies to progress technical, administrative and other relevant issues

Historical objectives

The objectives of the committee were to:

  • Address specific technical issues through working groups, which were led by an industry representative where possible
  • Provide technical input to APVMA guidelines, standards, operating procedures and publications for the assessment of agvet chemicals prior to their release for public consultation
  • Consider matters relating to the technical work of the APVMA

Winding up actions

  • After consultation with the ILC it was determined that arising technical issues could be better addressed through ILC itself.
  • To make the discussion of technical issues affecting regulatory policy, programs and performance more flexible, ILC will establish working groups on a needs basis. The working groups will draw members from ILC and other relevant experts and stakeholders to address technical issues. These working groups will provide feedback to ILC as required.
