Would an agricultural-use claim require an APVMA-related assessment distinct from household use?

Would an agricultural-use claim require an APVMA-related assessment distinct from household use?

The company offers no agricultural use for the filter, and it publishes no position under Australian law.

The label sets where the filter is used: forced-air heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems in homes, businesses and institutions that take a panel filter of the stated size. The position is set out in two documents. Under United States law, the Statement of Classification, issued by NF Technical Products Inc., classifies the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter as a device under Section 2(h) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, 7 U.S.C. § 136(h), and 40 C.F.R. § 152.500(a), and a device is not required to be registered under FIFRA section 3. The requirements that apply instead are labelling; establishment registration and reporting; books and records; inspection of establishments; violations, enforcement and penalties; import and export; child-resistant packaging; and the Agency's authority under FIFRA section 25(c)(4). Under Regulation (EU) No 528/2012, the Statement of Regulatory Status, issued by C-POLAR Technologies, Inc., classifies the filter as neither a biocidal product nor a treated article. Neither document addresses the law of any other country. No authority has approved, registered or endorsed the filter; the company classifies its own article.
