4 Consideration
Sequence of the consideration
4.1
In accordance with section 32, the approach adopted when considering this
application was to confirm whether the application was for one of the purposes
specified in section 30, to identify and assess the risks and to determine whether
the substance could be adequately contained by controls to provide for each of
the matters specified in Part III of the Third Schedule of the Act.
4.2
This application was considered by the Chief Executive of ERMA New Zealand
under delegated powers from the Authority (section 19(2)(e)).
Purpose of the application
4.3
This application has been submitted to gain approval to import a fully
formulated insecticide product into containment for the purpose of relabelling
and storage for subsequent export to the Pacific Islands.
4.4
The project team considers that the purpose of the application qualifies it to be
considered under section 30(ca) as the substance will be stored and relabelled for
export to a destination outside New Zealand.
Lifecycle of the substance
4.5
DuPont (New Zealand) Ltd intends to import Prevathon® Insecticide into
New Zealand as a manufactured product. The product will be packed in 100 ml
polyethylene bottles, 8 bottles to a cardboard carton. Once imported the
substance will be transported, by a specially designated carrier (such as
Chemcourier Services), to the DuPont (New Zealand) Ltd warehouse in
Manukau City. This is where the product will be relabelled with the label
relevant to the Pacific Islands destination. The applicant expects to import and
relabel approximately 500 litres of Prevathon® Insecticide annually.
4.6
Prevathon® Insecticide will be stored in the dedicated chemical warehouse of
DuPont (New Zealand) Ltd in Manukau City. This store has PRINCE
accreditation, location certificate and two approved handlers on site. It is
bunded, well equipped with fire extinguishers and carries the approved signage.
ERMA New Zealand Decision: Application HSC08028
2
The staff are trained in and are familiar with the procedures for the safe
handling, storage and preparation of products for transport.
4.7
The applicant has stated that the substance will not be released for sale or use in
New Zealand.
4.8
Once relabelled, the substance will be despatched to the Auckland Airport for
transportation to the Pacific Islands again using the designated carrier. The
applicant has indicated that the substance will be exported to Fiji, Samoa, Tonga,
Tahiti, New Caledonia, Cook Islands, Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu.
Hazardous properties of the substance
4.9
Typically containment applications only require sufficient understanding of the
hazardous properties of the substance concerned to ensure that any risks can be
managed by the containment controls. However, because Prevathon®
Insecticide is being exported for use outside New Zealand, the project team
considers that that the substance’s hazards should be clearly identified so that
they can be communicated and thus aid in the informed assessment of the
substance within the importing country.
4.10
The project team has evaluated the classification determined by the applicant for
Prevathon® Insecticide in relation to the information supplied and other
available data sources; refer Table 4.1. The hazard profile determined by the
project team has been based on the read across from formulation data provided
by the applicant for application HSR07132, data for individual components and
the application of mixture rules where formulation data was not available. The
mixture rules applied are as defined in the ERMA New Zealand publication
“User guide to HSNO thresholds and classifications”.

9.1A
4.11
The project team notes that the applicant has not classified Prevathon®
Insecticide as a target organ toxicant (6.9B).
4.12
Based on the information provided and additional information available to it, the
project team considers that its classifications are more representative of the
substance’s hazardous properties. Thus, these classifications have been used for
the purposes of assessing this application and assignment of default controls that
would require consideration if the substance were to undergo full assessment and
approval in New Zealand.
Identification and evaluation of the significant risks of the substance in
containment within New Zealand
4.13
The applicant has identified and assessed potential risks and detailed proposals
for, and impacts of, risk management. The project team has reviewed the
potential risks to the environment, human health and welfare and Maori issues
and concerns as set out below.
ERMA New Zealand Decision: Application HSC08028
3
4.14
It is noted that a full risk assessment has not been carried out for Prevathon®
Insecticide for two main reasons. The first is that the HSNO controls cannot be
enforced outside New Zealand, and the second that significant differences in
environmental susceptibility and legislative requirements may exist within the
importing country. However, it is considered appropriate to review the
hazardous nature of the substance to ensure that the detail available to importing
nations regarding the substance is as complete as possible.
Risks to the environment of the substance in containment
4.15
Given the harmful nature of Prevathon® Insecticide in the aquatic environment,
the project team considers that it has the potential to cause adverse effects if it
were to come into contact with aquatic organisms.
4.16
Due to the substance’s export-only status it is noted that the lifecycle stages
occurring in New Zealand are limited; refer Paragraphs 4.5 to 4.8 above.
However, if an incident was to occur during one of those lifecycle stages, for
example, during transport to the port or shipping within New Zealand waters, the
effects could be severe. However, it is noted that the overall impact would be
largely dependant on the volume of the substance released and the susceptibility
of the environment and organisms exposed.
4.17
In assessing the risks to the environment while the Prevathon® Insecticide is in
New Zealand, the project team noted the specialised nature of the repackaging
and storage facilities, the protection provided by the packaging during import,
and the containment provisions specified by the applicant and those set under the
Act and other relevant legislation.
4.18
Given the factors described above, the project team considers that no significant
risks will be posed to the environment.
Risks to human health and welfare of the substance in containment
4.19
As Prevathon® Insecticide has been classified as a target organ toxicant, the
project team considers that it has the potential to cause harm to human health
and welfare if ingested.
4.20
On the basis of the lifecycle of the substance outlined in Paragraphs 4.5 to 4.8
above, adverse health effects could arise from:



an incident during handling or repackaging of the substance that results in
the substance being ingested,
an accident during storage or transportation, resulting in release of the
substance and subsequent ingestion,
failure to follow the correct operational procedures as set out in the
controls, resulting in release and ingestion of the substance.
4.21
In determining the overall level of risk posed to human health while the
substance is in New Zealand, the project team has taken into account the
specialised nature of the repackaging facilities; the trained, informed and
equipped nature of the staff handling the substance, its restricted accessibility,
and the additional requirements set under the Act and other relevant legislation.
4.22
Given the factors outlined above, the project team considers it highly improbable
that any significant risks will be posed to human health or welfare through the
ERMA New Zealand Decision: Application HSC08028
4
contained importation and repackaging of Prevathon® Insecticide in New
Zealand for export to Pacific Island Nations.
Māori issues and concerns about the substance in containment
4.23
The project team considered the potential Māori cultural effects in accordance
with clauses 9(b)(i) and 9(c)(iv) and sections 6(d) and 8. In addition, the project
team applied the assessment framework contained in the ERMA New Zealand
User Guide “Working with Māori under the HSNO Act 1996” in consideration
of this application.
4.24
As Prevathon® Insecticide is ecotoxic in the aquatic environment, the project
team considers that the potential exists for the substance to affect the mauri of
taonga flora and fauna, the environment and the general health and well-being of
individuals and the community. In addition the potential exists for Prevathon®
Insecticide to inhibit the ability of iwi/Māori to fulfil their role as kaitiaki,
particularly in relation to the guardianship of waterways.
4.25
After careful consideration of the risks associated with the contained importation
and relabelling of Prevathon® Insecticide for export only purposes, the project
team does not consider that any significant adverse effects are likely to occur to
Māori culture or traditional relationships with their ancestral lands, water, sites,
wāhi tapu, valued flora and fauna or other taonga.
4.26
This assessment is made on the condition that the compounds are imported,
handled, stored and transported in accordance with the explicitly stated HSNO
controls, and any controls stipulated in other applicable Acts. However, should
an accident result in the contamination of waterways or the environment, it is
suggested that DuPont (New Zealand) Ltd notify the appropriate authorities
including the relevant iwi authorities in that region. This action should include
advising them of the contamination and the measures taken to contain and
remedy it.
International considerations of the substance in containment
4.27
Due to the limited scope of the “containment” approval pathway provided for
export-only substances and the potential variability in environmental conditions
and legislative requirements in importing nations, the project team has not
conducted any risk assessment on lifecycle stages that will occur outside of New
Zealand.
4.28
In previous decisions, the Authority has considered it appropriate, for exportonly substances approved under the “containment” pathway, to determine the
hazard profile for these substances and set out the default controls that would be
considered if the substance was to be approved for use in New Zealand. It is
noted that this level of assessment is greater than would normally be conducted
for containment applications; however, it is considered necessary to meet New
Zealand’s obligations to promote informed approval and use of hazardous
substances in importing countries.
4.29
The applicant has noted that Prevathon® Insecticide and other formulations
based on the same active ingredient are approved around the world including the
USA, EU, Australia and New Zealand. The applicant has further noted that the
Pacific Islands are signatories are have implemented both FAO International
ERMA New Zealand Decision: Application HSC08028
5
Code of Conduct on the Distribution and Use of Pesticides and the Rotterdam
Convention on Prior Informed Consent.
4.30
The applicant has indicated they have made an application for an approval with
the ACVM Group to import Prevathon® Insecticide for the purposes of export.
4.31
The project team considers that the information provided in this decision, in
particular, the hazard classification, should provide regulating bodies within the
importing nation(s) with an overview of the substance, which may be used for
preliminary screening or as part of an assessment.
5 Containment and controls
5.1
The project team has evaluated the adequacy of the containment arrangements
proposed by the applicant and the controls listed in Appendix 1, and notes that
these cover the matters set out in Part III of the Third Schedule of the Act, being:





5.2
to limit the likelihood of escape of any contained hazardous substances or
contamination by hazardous substances (for example, control 4 c);
to exclude organisms and unauthorised people from a facility (for example,
control 4 b);
to control the effects of any accidental release of the substance (for
example, control 14);
inspection and monitoring requirements (for example, control 6); and
qualifications required of the person responsible for implementing the
controls (for example, control 12).
The project team is satisfied that, with adherence to the controls listed in
Appendix 1 and those controls in place under other legislation, Prevathon®
Insecticide can be adequately contained within New Zealand.
6 Decision
6.1

of the purposes specified in section 30 and if I am satisfied that the substance can
be adequately contained.
6.2
Under section 32(2), an approval must include controls that provide for each of
the applicable matters specified in the Third Schedule to the Act and that provide
for other matters that give effect to the purpose of the Act.
6.3
I have considered the application made by DuPont (New Zealand) Ltd, under
section 31, to import and repackage the substance Prevathon® Insecticide in
containment for export only purposes.
6.4
I am satisfied that the application is for the purpose of “formulating, re-labelling,
repackaging or storing any hazardous substance for export to a destination
outside New Zealand” as provided for in section 30(ca).
6.5
I have considered the risks associated with the substance’s lifecycle in
New Zealand, as evaluated by the project team. As a result, I am satisfied that
the controls proposed under section 32(2), as set out in Appendix 1, and the
requirements of other legislation will result in the substance being adequately
contained.
ERMA New Zealand Decision: Application HSC08028
