Hi Scott, Adding to Ted Eckert's, comments......
Not sure of the source of your information however, it would depend upon the Act or regulation and the nature of the change, i.e. if it is safety related it may well require compliance from the date the change was gazetted. Typically however, any change would allow a phase-in period during which on-sale and first introduced (newly arrived) products may comply with either the previous or new requirements. At the end of that specified phase-in period the new requirements would be mandatory. Changes to standards that are mandated by any Act/regulation are generally handled in a similar manner.

From: Scott Xe [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, 3 October 2016 11:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [PSES] Put product on the Australia's market When there is an update to an Act or a applicable standard, it said it applies to both on-sale products meeting previous ones and newly arrived products on the effective date. The retailers must sell out all the stock before the effective date or return to the suppliers for alternation in compliance with the latest standard. Is there any legal document to endorse this rule?
