Import risk review for dehydrated and pre-sterilised microbiological media: draft report. |
Summary |
The Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry has released the Import risk review for dehydrated and pre-sterilised microbiological media: draft report (the review) for a 60-day consultation period.
This review aims to modernise Australia's dehydrated and pre-sterilised microbiological media import conditions to appropriately reflect the level of biosecurity risk and simplify import permit conditions. It considers the biosecurity risks associated with importing (from any country) dehydrated and pre-sterilised microbiological media. It takes into account new and relevant peer-reviewed scientific information, international standards, relevant changes in industry practices and operational practicalities.
The review identified two hazards of biosecurity concern for imported dehydrated and presterilised microbiological media. Risk assessments were undertaken for each hazard and measures were proposed to manage the biosecurity risks.
The draft report proposes baseline risk management measures for dehydrated and presterilised microbiological media and specific risk management will continue to be required for bovine spongiform encephalopathy and scrapie.
