Victorian Consolidated Regulations

For ease of reference only, definitions (but not other parts of speech and grammatical forms of a word or phrase defined) appear in bold in the text. Section 39 of the Interpretation of Legislation Act 1984 provides that where a word or phrase is given a particular meaning in an Act or subordinate instrument, other parts of speech and grammatical forms of that word or phrase have, unless the contrary intention appears, corresponding meanings. - SECT 308

Review and revision of MSDS

308. Review and revision of MSDS



(1) A manufacturer or first supplier of dangerous goods must ensure that the
MSDS for the dangerous goods is reviewed-

   (a)  as often as is necessary to ensure that the MSDS contains accurate and
        current information; and

   (b)  in any case, every 5 years after the MSDS is first prepared or last
        reviewed, whichever is later.

(2) A manufacturer or first supplier must ensure that a MSDS is revised if a
review reveals that the MSDS contains any information that is not accurate or
current.

(3) Subregulation (1) does not apply if the manufacturer or first supplier has
not supplied the dangerous goods to any person or any premises for a period of
5 years since the MSDS for those dangerous goods was prepared or last revised.
