This notice specifies the requirements that must be met by the members of a class of persons (being veterinarians) recognised to authorise the purchase and use of restricted veterinary medicines (RVMs) that (under their conditions of registration) require veterinary authorisation.

Despite the general requirement that a risk management programme is tailored to the
individual business concerned, section 12(3A) of the Animal Products Act 1999 (“the
Act”) allows for a risk management programme for a particular business, or part of a
business, to be based on a template, a model, or a code of practice, if in the view of the
Director-General the template, model or code of practice is valid and appropriate for
businesses of that kind.
