However, Schedule 2 of the Act contains a list of laws that are permanently exempt from this principle.\n\nThis amendment adds the Northern Territory's ozone protection legislation to that exemption list (as item 32). This means that despite mutual recognition rules, goods sold in the Northern Territory may still need to comply with specific requirements under the NT's Ozone Protection Act—such as restrictions on ozone-depleting substances or products containing them."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/mutual-recognition-act-1992-amendment-regulations","history":"/api/acts/mutual-recognition-act-1992-amendment-regulations/history","analysis":"/api/acts/mutual-recognition-act-1992-amendment-regulations/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/mutual-recognition-act-1992-amendment-regulations/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/mutual-recognition-act-1992-amendment-regulations/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/mutual-recognition-act-1992-amendment-regulations/documents"}}
