The end of HSNO Transition 30th June 2006 also signalled the end of the ability for the controlling authority (ERMA) to Gazette Controls. Any changes from now on must be by the more protracted change to regulations involving government. With the exception of those substances covered by the paragraph below, all single component Hazardous Substances have now been transferred and can be searched on through the following link:  http://www.ermanz.govt.nz/find/TestCertifierSearch.aspx

30th June also signalled the end of Dangerous Goods Licensing for those Notified Toxic Substances (NOTS) with Class 2 – 5 hazardous properties. Envirocom’s delegation from ERMA to issue DG Licenses ended on that date.  We are now in a 2 year period of Transition for NOTS the controls for most of which can be found in the relevant Group Standard.
