#### 126 Conditions of licences
(1) The conditions to which a licence may be subject are:
(a) the conditions that the APVMA imposes for the purpose of ensuring that the holder of the licence manufactures the chemical products in accordance with the manufacturing principles and any standards that apply to the products; and
(b) any other conditions relating to the manufacture of the products that the APVMA thinks appropriate to impose.
(2) The APVMA may, by written notice given to the holder of a licence, impose new conditions on the licence or vary or remove existing conditions.
(3) The imposition or variation of a condition under subsection (2) takes effect:
(a) on the day on which the notice is given to the holder, but only if the notice states that the action is necessary to prevent one or more of the following:
(i) an imminent risk to persons of death, serious injury or serious illness;
(ii) an imminent risk of unintended harm to animals, plants or things, or to the environment;
(iii) an imminent risk of impact on trade or commerce between Australia and places outside Australia; or
(b) otherwise—on a day stated for the purpose in the notice that, unless the APVMA and the holder agree, is not earlier than 28 days after the notice is given to the holder.
(4) In addition to any conditions imposed in accordance with subsection (1) or (2), each licence is, except as otherwise stated in the licence, subject to the conditions that the holder of the licence will:
(a) ensure that the chemical products conform to any standard that applies to them; and
(aa) allow an inspector to enter premises at which the chemical products are manufactured and to exercise the monitoring powers under section 131A in relation to premises; and
