For your introduction to meet the 'internationally assessed for human health' and 'internationally assessed for the environment' criteria, you must meet all of the criteria in the sections:
- internationally assessed for human health only; and
- internationally assessed for the environment only
Note: Your introduction can meet the 'internationally assessed for human health' and 'internationally assessed for environment' criteria by using:
- only one of the acceptable overseas assessments (because one assessment considered both human health and environment risks); or
- two separate acceptable overseas assessments
