Hazardous substances classification workshops

19 Mar 2013 - 19 Mar 2013
Auckland and Sydney (to be determined)
Environmental Protection Authority of New Zealand
Details

​Hazardous substances need to be approved under the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms (HSNO) Act to be imported or manufactured in New Zealand.

 

To establish if a substance is already covered by an existing approval, for example by a group standard approval, an applicant needs classify a substance's hazardous properties.

 

We are developing a training programme and tools that will help applicants understand the classification process and how to self-classify a hazardous substance.

 

This programme will be introduced through a number of workshops - the first of which are planned to take place in Auckland and Sydney in June 2013. 

 

If you are interested in attending one of these workshops, please register your interest by completing the application downloaded from the EPA website.
