9‑11 Reassessment after failed assessment

(1) If plants or plant products fail an assessment (the failed assessment), the plants or plant products must not be presented for another assessment (a reassessment) unless the reason for the failed assessment has been rectified. (2) If the reason for the failed assessment was because pests or contaminants above the applicable tolerance level were detected on the plants or plant products or in or on the flowpath for the plants or plant products, the relevant person for the failed assessment must ensure that the plants or plant products or the flowpath (depending on where the pests or contaminants were detected) is treated using a method that: (a) is effective to reduce the pests or contaminants to no higher than the applicable tolerance level; and (b) meets importing country requirements relating to the plants or plant products. (3) If the plants or plant products are required to be treated under subsection (2) and the exporter of the plants or plant products is not the relevant person for the failed assessment, the exporter of the plants or plant products must agree to the method of treatment to be used.

Note: The relevant person for the failed assessment may be the occupier of the registered establishment where operations to prepare the plants or plant products for export were carried out.
