Pharmacy and Medicines Regulatory Authority Act, 2019
Complete 70-page original Gazette Act supplied by PMRA, including 135 sections and the Schedule. Medical devices, medical/surgical sundries, reagents and condoms fall within allied substances. The Act establishes authorisation, premises, import/export, inspection, advertising, safety-surveillance and enforcement powers. Assent is 19 February 2019 and Gazette publication is 22 February 2019. The separately retained reproduced Government Notice 69 appoints 1 October 2019 as the Act commencement; the notice is made on 2 October and its Gazette publication date is still being corroborated. Sections 47–49 concern premises-licence transfer, amendments and duplicate certificates. Section 48(2) requires notification within fourteen days after specified registered particulars change; it is not a universal product-variation approval period. Section 128(2) requires guidelines under that section to be published in the Gazette. Section 130 repeals the former Act while conditionally preserving existing subsidiary legislation unless conflicting with this Act or later replaced, amended, revoked or repealed. This original expression is not a verified current consolidation. The current authority download was retrieved again with unchanged source bytes; later amendments, Gazette implementation and device/IVD-specific requirements remain under review. Excluded from default current-law discovery.
