Labelling
All chemical containers must be labelled.
The Queensland Agricultural Standards Act 1994 (PDF, 421 KB) states agricultural chemical labels must contain the following information:
- the identity and amount of the active constituent and any other poisonous substance;
- the poison schedule, any cautionary statements, safety directions and first aid instructions;
- the pests controlled by the chemical, and crops, animals or other host situations for which it is registered;
- the application rates for the chemical;
- any restriction on methods of application;
- the withholding periods;
- directions for storage;
- batch number, manufacture or expiry dates and mixing instructions.
It is important when decanting chemicals the container the chemicals are being transferred to is labelled properly.
