Active constituents
Active constituents are the substance(s) in an agricultural or veterinary chemical product that are primarily responsible for a product's biological or other effects. They must be approved either before, or at the same time as, the product is being registered. A limited number of active constituents are evaluated and approved under section 14A of the Agvet Code.

The APVMA ensures the quality of active constituents used in agricultural chemical products through our Quality Assurance Scheme for Agricultural Active Constituents and Agricultural Chemical Products.
