What is a Controlled Substance Licence?
Under the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms (HSNO) Act, certain substances can only be used by people who have a Controlled Substances licence. This licence ensures that high risk substances are only possessed by fit and proper persons, much like a firearms licence does. Controlled Substances licences are issued by Test Certifiers who can also issue Approved Handlers Certificates.
