Preamble to the 2,4-D Review Statement of Reasons


2,4-D (2,4,-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) is a selective broadleaf chlorphenoxy Group 1 herbicide that has been registered

for use in Australia since the 1960s. It works by disrupting the actions of the plant growth hormone auxin. Its use causes

uncontrolled growth and eventual death in susceptible plants.

In Australia, 2,4-D is currently registered for post-emergent control of broadleaf and grass weeds in pasture, stubble and

fallow maintenance, cereal crops (including wheat, oats, barley, rye, triticale), grain crops (including sorghum, millet,

maize) and oilseed crops (safflower, canola, rape). Other agricultural uses include cotton, citrus crops (particularly to

inhibit post-harvest abscission of buttons), sugar cane, sweetcorn, peanuts and control of banana suckers. 2,4-D is also

used extensively for weed control in non-cropping situations, including commercial and industrial areas, turf, forestry,

aquatic areas and domestic situations.

The APVMA began its reconsideration of 2,4-D in 2003 because of concerns over toxicological, occupational health and

safety and environmental issues. The adequacy of instructions and warnings on product labels was also considered. Of

particular concern to APVMA have been the issues of spray drift and the environmental risks associated with the 2,4-D

high volatile (short chain) esters (ethyl ester, butyl ester and isobutyl ester forms of 2,4-D).

To address concerns regarding spray drift APVMA undertook regulatory actions in 2005, 2013, 2018 and 2019 to

strengthen label instructions, label restraints and label warnings in order to reduce the risk of undesirable chemical spray

drift. In addition to these actions the APVMA released the 2,4-D preliminary review findings report (environment) part 1:

2,4-D high volatile esters, volume 1: review summary in 2006. The same year the APVMA suspended the registrations

and label approvals of 24 products containing high volatile ester forms of 2,4-D and issued new instructions for use to

allow further data to be generated by registrants. In 2013 the agency published an annex to this report and cancelled the

active constituent approvals, registrations and associated label approvals for the 24 products containing high volatile

ester forms of 2,4-D. In 2018 and 2019 the APVMA suspended the label approvals of all commercial use products

containing 2,4-D and issued new instructions targeted to reduce spray drift occurrences and damage to sensitive off

target crops for the 2018–19 summer spray seasons. These label changes were implemented as an immediate priority,

rather than waiting to implement all of the proposed label changes at the completion of the review.

The APVMA has now reached the proposed decisions in relation to the 2,4-D chemical review as outlined in the following

statement of reasons.

BACKGROUND

Reasons for 2,4-D reconsideration

9. The 2,4-D reconsideration (registration of the 2,4-D active constituents, approval of the 2,4-D chemical

products and approvals of labels for containers for 2,4-D chemical products) was commenced in 2003

because of concerns over its potential risk to public health, occupational health and safety and the

environment (including impacts on waterways, non-target animals and plants).

Previous regulatory actions

10. To address concerns regarding spray drift the APVMA undertook regulatory actions in 2005, 2013 and

2018 to strengthen label instructions, label restraints and label warnings in order to reduce the risk of

undesirable chemical spray drift. In addition to these actions the APVMA released the 2,4-D preliminary

review findings report (environment) part 1: 2,4-D high volatile esters, volume 1: review summary in

2006. The same year the APVMA suspended the registrations and label approvals of 24 products

containing high volatile ester forms of 2,4-D and issued new instructions for use to allow further data to

be generated by registrants. In 2013 the APVMA published an annex to the preliminary review findings

report (https://apvma.gov.au/node/14271) and cancelled the active constituent approvals, registrations

and associated label approvals for the 24 products containing high volatile ester forms of 2,4-D. In 2018

the APVMA suspended the label approvals of all products containing 2,4-D and issued new instructions

that reduced the risk of the occurrence of spray drift and damage to sensitive off target species. In 2019

the APVMA suspended the label approvals of 2,4-D products and issued spray drift instructions

consistent with the terms of 2018.





11. To address concerns regarding the level of dioxin/dioxin like chemical impurities in 2,4-D active

constituents, in 2018 APVMA required (via a notice under section 33 of the Code) holders and nominated

agents to provide data on the level of these impurities in all currently approved 2,4-D active constituents.

The APVMA also conducted toxicological, worker health and safety evaluations, food residue and

environmental evaluations specifically in relation to issue of dioxin and dioxin-like impurities found in 2,4-

D.

SCOPE OF THE CURRENT RECONSIDERATIONS

12. The scope of the reconsideration included the following aspects of active constituent approvals, product

registrations and label approvals for 2,4-D:

12.1 toxicology,

12.2 occupational health and safety,

12.3 residues, and

12.4 environment.

Material considered when making the current proposed decisions

13. All the materials considered when making the proposed decisions can be found in the Review Technical

Report.

Definitions

14. For the purposes of this statement of reasons:

14.1 2,4-D active constituents means the approved active constituents appearing in Attachment 1,

14.2 2,4-D products means the registered products appearing in Attachment 2,

14.3 2,4-D labels means the approved labels appearing in Attachment 2, and

14.4 the proposed new required label components and instructions means the proposed new required

label components and instructions on how they are to be applied appearing in Attachment 4.

PROPOSED DECISION TO VARY THE CONDITIONS FOR 2,4-D ACTIVE CONSTITUENTS AND AFFIRM

APPROVAL OF 2,4-D ACTIVE CONSTITUENTS

Findings on material questions of fact

15. The recommendations of the dioxin and dioxin-like impurities the toxicology and worker health and safety

components of the Review Technical Report concluded that:

15.1 mixing, loading and applying 2,4-D products will result in an acceptable level of human dioxin and

dioxin-like compound exposure provided that:

15.1.1 the label directions are adhered to, and

15.1.2 the level of dioxins and dioxin-like compounds in 2,4-D active constituents is no more than one

part of total dioxin/dioxin-like compound toxic equivalency per billion parts of 2,4-D acid

equivalent (no more than 1000 picograms of total dioxin/dioxin-like compound toxic equivalency

per gram of 2,4-D acid equivalent).

16. The residues component of the Review Technical Report concluded that the presence of up to one part

of total dioxin/dioxin-like compound toxic equivalency per billion parts of 2,4-D acid equivalent (no more





than 1000 picograms of total dioxin/dioxin-like compound toxic equivalency per gram of 2,4-D acid

equivalent) in 2,4-D active constituents would not result in unacceptable food residues.

17. The environment component of the Review Technical Report concluded that the presence of up to one

part of total dioxin/dioxin-like compound toxic equivalency per billion parts of 2,4-D acid equivalent (no

more than 1000 picograms of total dioxin/dioxin-like compound toxic equivalency per gram of 2,4-D acid

equivalent) in 2,4-D active constituents is not a risk to the environment.

Proposed decision to vary the conditions for 2,4-D active constituents and reasons for the decision

18. I am not satisfied that the 2,4-D active constituent approvals shown in Attachment 1 meet the safety

criteria as set out in section 5A of the Code, and therefore, for the purposes of paragraph 34(1)(a), I am

not satisfied that the approvals of the active constituents shown in Attachment 1 can be affirmed.

19. The reason that I am not satisfied that the 2,4-D active constituent approvals shown in Attachment 1

meet the safety criteria as set out in section 5A of the Code is that the toxicology and worker health and

safety components of the Review Technical Report concluded that unless the total dioxin/dioxin-like

compound toxic equivalency in 2,4-D active constituents was restricted to no more than one part of total

dioxin/dioxin-like compound toxic equivalency per billion parts of 2,4-D acid equivalent (ae) (no more

than 1000 picograms of total dioxin/dioxin-like compound toxic equivalency per gram of 2,4-D acid

equivalent) health-adverse occupational exposures to these impurities may occur.

20. However, I am satisfied, for the purposes of paragraph 34A(1)(b), that the conditions of the approval of

the 2,4-D active constituents shown in Attachment 1 can be varied in such a way as to allow me to affirm

their approvals. The proposed variation to the conditions for all approved 2,4-active constituents is to

include the following condition:

20.1 2,4-D active constituents must contain no more than one part of total dioxin/dioxin-like compound

toxic equivalency per billion parts of 2,4-D acid equivalent (ae) (no more than 1000 picograms of

total dioxin/dioxin-like compound toxic equivalency per gram of 2,4-D acid equivalent).

Proposed decision to affirm 2,4-D active constituent approvals following variation of the conditions for the 2,4-D active constituents and reasons for the decision

21. I am satisfied that if I make the above variation to the conditions for the approved 2,4-D active

constituents shown in Attachment 1, those active constituents can meet the safety criteria as set out in

section 5A of the Code provided that they comply with the variation to the conditions. On that basis, in

accordance with subsection 34(1), I can affirm the approvals of the active constituents shown in

Attachment 1.

Proposed decision to vary the relevant particulars of 2,4-D chemical product approved labels, to affirm the varied approval labels and to affirm their associated product registrations and reasons for the decision.

Findings on material questions of fact

22. As part of the 2,4-D reconsideration, the APVMA assessed the toxicology, residues in food, risk to

worker health and safety (including those due to dioxin and dioxin-like impurities), the environment, and

risk from residues in food to public health and to Australian international trade of commodities on which

2,4-D is used.

Toxicology assessment

23. The human health hazards and risks associated with free phenols, calculated as 2,4-dichlorophenol at up

to 3 g/kg (an impurity in 2,4-D active constituents) were also considered as part of the review.



24. The 2,4-D toxicology component of the Review Technical Report concluded that the active constituents

and registration of products containing 2,4-D, its salts and esters:

24.1 would not be an undue health hazard to the safety of people exposed to it during its handling or

people using anything containing its residues,

24.2 would not be likely to have an effect that is harmful to human beings,

24.3 the toxicological profiles of the 2,4-D salts and esters evaluated were similar to the free acid. This is

most likely due to their bioconversion to the free acid. As such, it was concluded that doses in

animal studies could be directly compared using the 2,4-D acid equivalent dose,

24.4 the acceptable daily intake (ADI) for 2,4-D should be revised to 0.05 milligrams of 2,4-D acid

equivalent per kilogram body weight per day based on a no observed adverse effect level of 5 mg of

2,4-D acid equivalent per kilogram body weight per day for renal toxicity occurring at higher doses in

two 2-year rat toxicity/carcinogenicity studies and an extended 1-generation rat reproduction study.

The ADI incorporates a 100-fold uncertainty factor to account for inter- and intra-species variation in

sensitivity,

24.5 the acute reference dose (ARfD) for 2,4-D should be revised to 0.8 milligrams of 2,4-D acid

equivalent per kg body weight based on a no observed adverse effect level of 75 mg per kilogram

body weight for acute (single dose) neurotoxicological effects. The ARfD incorporates a 100-fold

uncertainty factor to account for inter- and intra-species variation in sensitivity, and

24.6 that 2,4-D should remain in Schedule 6 of the Standard for the Uniform Scheduling of Medicines

and Poisons.

Exposure assessment (including exposure to impurities) and risk characterisation

25. The exposure assessment and risk characterisation evaluated the risks to workers associated with 2,4-D

and any associated impurities.

26. The worker health and safety component of the Review Technical Report evaluated level of inhalation

and dermal exposure to 2,4-D associated with mixing, loading and applying products containing 2,4-D as

an active constituent. Re-entry worker exposures was also considered. The evaluation considered the

worst-case levels of exposure at the highest feasible daily work-rates and maximum registered

application rates of 2,4-D in selected agricultural crops and other situations of use. The worker health

and safety component of the Review Technical Report also evaluated the level of exposure to members

of the public (including children) exposed to 2,4-D dispersed from application sites by spray-drift,

application within residential settings, or applied to turf in sports and recreational facilities.

27. The worker health and safety component of the Review Technical Report also characterised the risks

associated with 2,4-D exposures associated with mixing, loading and applying 2,4-D products as well as

the risks associated with re-entry work, 2,4-D dispersed from application sites by spray-drift and 2,4-D

application within residential settings, or applied to turf in sports and recreational facilities. Risk

characterisation was performed by calculating the margins between human exposure and relevant no

observed adverse effect levels (identified in the Toxicology component of the Review Technical Report)

taking account of the effectiveness of clothing, personal protective equipment and respiratory protective

equipment in limiting exposure to acceptably safe levels. This information was combined with the

assessments of acute hazard in the toxicological component of the Review Technical Report to produce

safety directions to appear on the new required label components and instructions shown in Attachment

4.

28. The worker health and safety component of the Review Technical Report reached the following

conclusions:



28.1 with the exception of Group 22b home and garden products (home and garden pesticide products

containing 80 g 2,4-D/L as the DMA/DEA salt, 336 g/L mecoprop and 40 g/L dicamba), using

suitable combinations of clothing, personal and/or respiratory protective equipment the exposure of

workers preparing spray mixture from 2,4-D products or applying 2,4-D by aerial or groundboom

spray, orchard airblast and hand-held spray equipment can be limited to levels which will pose

negligible risks of adverse effects on worker health and safety,

28.2 the safe, non-professional residential use of group 22b home and garden products (home and

garden pesticide products containing 80 g 2,4-D/L as the DMA/DEA salt, 336 g/L mecoprop and 40

g/L dicamba) would require the following: (a) in order to mitigate the human health hazards and

risks associated with opening the container and preparing the product for use the following personal

protective equipment would be required: protective waterproof clothing, elbow-length chemical

resistant gloves, impervious footwear, goggles and half facepiece respirator with organic vapour/gas

cartridge or canister; and (b) when using the product the following personal protective equipment

would be required to mitigate the human health hazards and risks: cotton overalls buttoned to the

neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and elbow-length chemical resistant gloves. Due to concerns

regarding effectiveness and compliance this level of personal protective equipment is not regarded

as a reliable risk management approach for non-professional, home and garden product use.

Accordingly I propose to cancel the registration of these products and to cancel the associated label

approvals,

28.3 the current uses of 2,4-D on agricultural crops and in non-agricultural situations do not pose

unacceptable exposures or risks of toxicity to workers re-entering and performing inspection,

harvesting or maintenance activities in treated areas after the spray has dried. If re-entering treated

areas before the spray has dried, workers should wear overalls, elbow-length gloves and water-

resistant footwear,

28.4 when applied by liquid spray at up to the current maximum registered label rate, 2,4-D will not cause

adverse effects on the health of bystanders exposed via foliar residues deposited by spray-drift

within areas adjacent to application sites,

28.5 when applied to turf in locations such as sports facilities, parks or home gardens at up to the

currently registered maximum label rate, 2,4-D poses negligible risk of adverse effects on the health

of members of the public during recreational activities,

28.6 the human health risks associated with spray drift exposures are considered to be negligible. Risk

mitigation is not required for these exposures, and

28.7 taking into consideration the potential toxicological hazard, the first aid instructions and safety

directions on 2,4-D product labels require updating (as shown in Attachment 4). 2,4-D products,

when used according to the new label direction shown in Attachment 4, will not cause unacceptable

exposures or risks.

29. The recommendations of the impurities worker health and safety component of the Review Technical

Report concluded that mixing, loading and applying 2,4-D products will result in an acceptable level of

human exposure to 2,4-D-associated impurities provided that:

29.1 the label directions are adhered to, and

29.2 the level of dioxins and dioxin-like compounds in 2,4-D active constituents is no more than one part

of total dioxin/dioxin-like compound toxic equivalency per billion parts of 2,4-D acid equivalent (no

more than 1000 picograms of total dioxin/dioxin-like compound toxic equivalency per gram of 2,4-D

acid equivalent).



Residues and trade assessment

30. The residues and trade component of the Review Technical Report considered the metabolism data,

residue trial data, analytical methodology, fate in storage and processing data, and residues in trade

information for 2,4-D.

31. The chronic dietary exposure to 2,4-D was estimated by the National Estimated Daily Intake (NEDI)

calculation encompassing all registered and temporary uses of the chemical and the mean daily dietary

consumption data derived primarily from the 2011–2012 National Health and Physical Activity Survey.

The NEDI calculation is made in accordance with WHO Guidelines1 and is a conservative estimate of

dietary exposure to chemical residues in food. The NEDI for 2,4-D is equivalent to <40 per cent of the

ADI.

32. The acute dietary exposure to 2,4-D was estimated by the National Estimated Short-Term Intake

(NESTI) calculation. The NESTI calculations were made in accordance with the deterministic method

used by the JMPR with 97.5th percentile food consumption data derived primarily from the 2011–2012

National Health Survey. NESTI calculations are conservative estimates of short-term exposure to

chemical residues in food.

33. Potential residues in edible products derived from cattle that may result from 2,4-D spray drift onto

pastures were assessed in the residues and trade section of the review technical report.

34. Risks associated with food residues: The residues and trade assessment component of the Review

Technical Report concluded that the risks associated with food residues can be mitigated by:

34.1 changing the maximum residue limits for various food commodities and updating Table 1 of the

APVMA Maximum Residue Limit Standard as follows:

COMPOUND FOOD MRL (mg/kg)

2,4-D

DELETE:

MO 0105 Edible offal (Mammalian) 2

VD 0545 Lupin (dry) *0.05

MM 0095 Meat [mammalian] 0.2

ML 0106 Milks *0.05

ADD:

MO 0105 Edible offal (Mammalian) 7

MM 0095 Meat [mammalian][in the fat] 0.7

ML 0106 Milks 0.1

35. The residues and trade assessment component of the Review Technical Report concluded that export

slaughter intervals and chemical withholding periods are not required for uses of 2,4-D on animal feeds.

36. The residues and trade assessment component of the Review Technical Report concluded that

mandatory no-spray zones for protection of international trade are not required.

1 WHO (2008). Consultations and workshops: Dietary Exposure Assessment of Chemicals in Food: Report of a joint FAO/WHO Consultation, Annapolis, Maryland, USA, 2–6 May 2005.



37. The residues and trade assessment component of the Review Technical Report concluded that varying

the conditions for all approved 2,4-active constituents stipulated above is sufficient to mitigate any risks

associated with residues and trade.

Environmental assessment

38. The environmental assessment component of the Review Technical Report characterised the

environmental fate and behaviour of 2,4-D, and its effects and associated risks to non-target species

associated with 2,4-D product use. The assessment considered dietary exposure of terrestrial

vertebrates, direct and indirect exposure of aquatic species, contact and/or oral exposure of non-target

arthropods including bees, exposure of soil organisms within the treatment area, and spray drift exposure

of non-target terrestrial plants.

39. The environmental assessment component of the Review Technical Report reached the following

conclusions:

39.1 Risks to terrestrial vertebrates: a maximum application rate of less than or equal to 4500 g 2,4-D

acid equivalent per hectare is required to mitigate the risks to birds and mammals;

39.2 Risks to aquatic species:

39.2.1 Due to spray drift exposure: the environmental risks associated with 2,4-D can be adequately

mitigated by the buffer zones specified in the new proposed required label components and

instructions shown in Attachment 4,

39.2.2 Due to runoff exposure: the environmental risks associated with the post-application runoff of

2,4-D can be adequately mitigated by the relevant required label elements shown in Attachment

4,

39.2.3 Due to ground water exposure: at maximum application rate of less than or equal to 4500 g 2,4-D

acid equivalent per hectare the environmental risks associated with the presence of 2,4-D in

ground water are negligible. No risk mitigation is required,

39.2.4 Due to direct exposure from aquatic weed control situations: the required label elements shown

in Attachment 4 are required to mitigate the risks to aquatic ecosystems associated with the use

of 2,4-D products for aquatic weed control,

39.2.5 Risks to bees: the risk to bees associated with the use of registered 2,4-D products in Australia is

considered to be acceptable. No risk mitigation is required,

39.2.6 Risks to other non-target terrestrial arthropods: the required label elements shown in Attachment

4 are required to mitigate the risks to non-target terrestrial arthropods that are associated with

the use of products containing 2,4-D ethylhexyl ester as an active constituent,

39.2.7 Risks to soil organisms: the risk to soil organisms associated with the use of registered 2,4-D

products in Australia is considered to be acceptable. No risk mitigation is required, and

39.2.8 Risks to non-target terrestrial plants: the environmental risks to non-target terrestrial plants

associated with 2,4-D can be adequately mitigated by the buffer zones shown indicted in the

proposed new required new label components and instructions shown in Attachment 4.

40. Risks to the environment associated with dioxin and/or dioxin-like impurities are considered to be

acceptable based on negligible exposure relative to background levels of dioxins in the environment.



PROPOSED DECISIONS AND REASONS

41. I am not satisfied that the existing label approvals shown in Attachment 2 contain adequate instructions

to meet the labelling criteria set out in section 5D of the Code, and therefore, for the purposes of

paragraph 34(1)(c), I am not satisfied that the labels shown in Attachment 2 meet the labelling criteria.

42. The reason that I am not satisfied that the 2,4-D label approvals shown in Attachment 2 meet the

labelling criteria as set out in section 5D of the Code is that the outcomes of the Review Technical Report

indicated that variations to the relevant label particulars were required in order to provide adequate

instructions to ensure, as far as reasonably practicable, that the products meet the safety criteria as set

out in section 5A of the Code.

43. However, I am satisfied, for the purposes of paragraph 34A(1)(b), that the relevant particulars of the label

approvals for all 2,4-D products, except for home garden pesticide products containing 80 g 2,4-D/L as

the DMA/DEA salt + 336 g/L mecoprop + 40 g/L dicamba (Group 22b products), can be varied in such a

way as to allow me to affirm the label approvals. Accordingly, under paragraph 34A(1)(b), I propose to

vary the relevant particulars of label approvals of all 2,4-D products except Group 22b products. The

proposed new required label components and instructions on how they are to be applied are shown in

Attachment 4. A general requirement of the proposed new label approvals of all 2,4-D products except

group 22b products is that the maximum application rate is restricted to less than or equal to 4500 g 2,4-

D acid equivalent.

Proposed decision to vary the relevant particulars of 2,4-D chemical product approved labels, except those for home garden pesticide products containing 80 g 2,4-D/L as the DMA/DEA salt + 336 g/L mecoprop + 40 g/L dicamba (Group 22b products), and to affirm their approval

44. I am satisfied that if I make the variation to the relevant particulars of the label approvals as referred to

above, that the labels shown in Attachment 2, once varied as proposed, will contain adequate

instructions relating to such matters as are outlined in subsection 5D(1) of the Code. On that basis, for

the purposes of paragraph 34(1)(c), I can be satisfied that the labels (except those for Group 22b

products) meet the labelling criteria as the labels will ensure, as far as is reasonably practicable, that the

products meet the safety criteria. Accordingly, I can, in accordance with subsection 34(1), affirm the

approvals of the labels shown in Attachment 2.

45. I am satisfied that use of all products, except those for home garden pesticide products containing 80 g

2,4-D/L as the DMA/DEA salt + 336 g/L mecoprop + 40 g/L dicamba (Group 22b products), in

accordance with the new (varied) labels would meet the safety criteria defined in section 5A(1) of the

Code, namely that the use of the product in accordance with the new label is not, or would not be, an

undue hazard to the safety of people exposed to it during its handling or people using anything

containing its residues, is not likely to have an effect that is harmful to human beings or is not likely to

have an unintended effect that is harmful to animals, plants or things or to the environment. Accordingly,

I can affirm the associated product registrations identified in Attachment 2.

Proposed decision to cancel the product registrations and to cancel the approved labels for home garden pesticide products containing 80 g 2,4-D/L as the DMA/DEA salt + 336 g/L mecoprop + 40 g/L dicamba (Group 22b products) and reasons

46. I am not satisfied that the registered home garden pesticide products containing 80 g 2,4-D/L as the

DMA/DEA salt + 336 g/L mecoprop + 40 g/L dicamba (Group 22b products) satisfy the safety criteria set

out in section 5A of the Code, and therefore, for the purposes of paragraph 34(1)(b), I am not satisfied

that the registrations of the chemical products shown in Attachment 3 can be affirmed. I note that if I am

not satisfied that the product meet the safety criteria then I do not need to also consider whether they

meet the trade criteria or the efficacy criteria as required by s34(1)(b) of the Code.



47. The reason that I am not satisfied that the registered home garden pesticide products containing 80 g

2,4-D/L as the DMA/DEA salt + 336 g/L mecoprop + 40 g/L dicamba (Group 22b products) meet the

safety criteria as set out in section 5A of the Code is that outcome of the Review Technical Report

required the use for following personal protective equipment in order to ensure mitigation of the human

health risks associated with the use of these products: protective waterproof clothing, elbow-length

chemical resistant gloves, impervious footwear, goggles and half facepiece respirator with organic

vapour/gas cartridge or canister. In my view, compliance with these requirements is highly unlikely during

the non-professional home garden use of Group 22b products. Furthermore, non-professional users of

Group 22b products are highly unlikely to have sufficient training and experience in the effective use of

the combination of personal protective equipment that is necessary to mitigate the risks to human health.

Therefore I am not satisfied that the risks to human health associated with the non-professional home

garden use of Group 22b products can be adequately mitigated.

48. Furthermore, I am not satisfied, for the purposes of paragraph 34A(1)(b), that the relevant particulars or

conditions of the registrations of the products can be varied in such a way to allow me to affirm the

registrations for the reasons shown in the preceding paragraph.

49. I therefore propose to cancel the registrations of home garden pesticide products containing 80 g 2,4-D/L

as the DMA/DEA salt + 336 g/L mecoprop + 40 g/L dicamba (Group 22b products) as shown in

Attachment 3.

50. I am not satisfied that the approved labels for the home garden pesticide products containing 80 g 2,4-

D/L as the DMA/DEA salt + 336 g/L mecoprop + 40 g/L dicamba (Group 22b products) satisfy the

labelling criteria set out in section 5D of the Code, and therefore, for the purposes of paragraph 34(1)(c),

I am not satisfied that the label approvals shown in Attachment 3 can be affirmed.

51. The reason that I am not satisfied that the registered home garden pesticide products containing 80 g

2,4-D/L as the DMA/DEA salt + 336 g/L mecoprop + 40 g/L dicamba (Group 22b products) meet the

labelling criteria as set out in section 5D of the Code is that outcome of the Review Technical Report

required the use of the following personal protective equipment in order to ensure mitigation of the

human health risks associated with the use of these products: protective waterproof clothing, elbow-

length chemical resistant gloves, impervious footwear, goggles and half facepiece respirator with organic

vapour/gas cartridge or canister. In my view compliance with these requirements is highly unlikely during

the non-professional home garden use of Group 22b products. Furthermore non-professional users of

Group 22b products are highly unlikely to have sufficient training and experience in the effective use of

the combination of personal protective equipment that is necessary to mitigate the risks to human health.

Therefore I am not satisfied that adequate instructions could be provided to ensure, as far as reasonably

practicable, that products meet the safety criteria.

52. Thus I am not satisfied for the purposes of paragraph 34A(1)(b), that the label approvals for home

garden pesticide products containing 80 g 2,4-D/L as the DMA/DEA salt + 336 g/L mecoprop + 40 g/L

dicamba (Group 22b products) can be varied in such a way as to allow me to affirm the approval of these

labels.

53. I therefore propose to cancel the label approvals of home garden pesticide products containing 80 g 2,4-

D/L as the DMA/DEA salt + 336 g/L mecoprop + 40 g/L dicamba (Group 22b products) shown in

Attachment 3.

Resistance Warning

THE PRODUCT contains members of the phenoxy and triazolopyrimidine sulfonanilide group of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of cell growth and acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor modes-of-action. For herbicide resistance management, the product is a Group I + Group B herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I and/or Group B herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by this product or other Group I or Group B herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use the holder accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of the product to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant or local Department of Agriculture. The herbicide is a broadleaf herbicide with no grass weed activity and exerts no selection pressure on annual ryegrass.

Precautions RE-ENTRY Do not allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried when conducting low exposure activities such as hand weeding unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use. Do not allow entry into treated areas for 13 days when conducting medium exposure activities such as scouting unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.

There are no instructions for the supply, possession, custody or use of 2,4-D active constituent approval No. 68950 since

the supply, possession, custody or use of 2,4-D active constituent approval No. 68950 is prohibited.

WARNING

2,4-D active constituent approval No. 68950 is not approved and any associated products are unregistered and any

associated labels are not approved. A person must not possess with the intent to supply, or deal with, have custody of, or

use 2,4-D active constituent approval No. 68950 or any products containing 2,4-D active constituent approval No. 68950.

A failure to comply with the cancellation will result in an offence against the Agvet Codes and the APVMA will take
