Schedule 21           Extraneous residue limits

Note 1        This instrument is a standard under the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991 (Cth). The standards together make up the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code. See also section 1.1.1—3.

                   Extraneous residue limits are regulated by subsection 1.1.1—10(6) and Standard 1.4.2. This Standard identifies *active constituents of agvet chemicals, and their permitted residues, for the purpose of section 1.4.2—5.

Note 2        This Standard applies in Australia only. In New Zealand, extraneous residue limits for agricultural compounds are set out in a Maximum Residue Limits Standard.

S21—1                Name

                            This Standard is Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code – Schedule 21 – Extraneous residue limits.

                                      Note    Commencement:
This Standard commences on 1 March 2016, being the date specified as the commencement date in notices in the Gazette under section 92 of the Food Standards Australia New Zealand Act 1991 (Cth). See also section 93 of that Act.

S21—2                Interpretation
