Re: CESSATION OF AQIS ASSESSMENTS / APPROVALS
Notice released by AQIS detailing the status of the IOA/LOA programme
Basically this notice means that IOA's/LOA's (known as AQIS Approvals) will not be renewed upon expiration as the old chemical approval process as we knew it has effectively been dismantled. Instead a manufacturer's declaration detailing a particular product's fitness for use will be accepted. IOA/LOAs already in the system will remain so until they expire and then AQIS wants the new declaration as their replacement.
As more information comes from AQIS we will pass it along.
Until then please contact our office for further information or assistance with auditors.
