2021–22 Compliance Programs

Concentrated National Audit Programs

 

Under this program methodology, first introduced in 2018–19, all trade measurement inspectors will be involved together

in a concentrated national audit, focused on a single industry sector over a specific time period, to assess compliance with trade measurement legislation.

Two major factors determining which traders are targeted in these national audits will be:

  • previously identified non-compliance
  • relative market shares of industry participants.

Three concentrated national audit programs will be undertaken in 2021–22.

Importers

This program will include a focus on pre-packaged products with measurements based on volume. Imported products to be audited under this program will include:

  • consumable items, including oils and seasonings
  • animal food products, such as pet foods
  • beverages
  • sanitisers such as alcohol based products
  • cleaning products.

Inspectors will also be reviewing documentation for measurement-related QA processes to ensure regulatory compliance.
