Commonwealth Consolidated Acts(1) Unless the contrary intention appears in a standard, the standard applies to therapeutic goods for use in humans and therapeutic goods for use in animals.
(2) For the purposes of this Part, where a statement in a monograph in the British Pharmacopoeia or the British Pharmacopoeia (Veterinary) refers to a statement in a monograph in another publication, the first‑mentioned statement is to be taken to include the other statement.
(3) Subject to subsection (4), where:
(a) a standard applicable to therapeutic goods is constituted by statements in a monograph in the British Pharmacopoeia or the British Pharmacopoeia (Veterinary); and
(b) requirements applicable to the labelling or packaging of the goods are specified in the British Pharmacopoeia or the British Pharmacopoeia (Veterinary); and
(c) the goods are not labelled or packaged in accordance with those requirements;
the goods are to be taken not to comply with that standard.
