Standard for the uniform scheduling of drugs and poisons (SUSDP)
The SUSDP
The Standard for the Uniform Scheduling of Drugs and Poisons (SUSDP) and its Amendments contain the decisions of the National Drugs and Poisons Schedule Committee (NDPSC), regarding the classification of drugs and poisons into Schedules for inclusion in the relevant legislation of the States and Territories. The SUSDP also includes model provisions about containers and labels, a list of products recommended to be exempt from those provisions, and recommendations about other controls on drugs and poisons.
The SUSDP is presented with a view to promoting uniform scheduling of substances and uniform labelling and packaging requirements throughout Australia.
The Amendments to the SUSDP include recent decisions of the NDPSC and must be read in conjunction with the SUSDP, not as stand-alone documents.
The SUSDP and its three Amendments are consolidated annually and available for purchase as an annual subscription item. The SUSDP is not available electronically.
SUSDP No.22 is the current edition and Amendments No.1, 2 and 3 have been released for distribution. SUSDP No.22 and its Amendments are effective up until 31 August 2008.
