FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why do I need to be entered on the Poisons List?
Local Authorities are responsible for maintaining a list
of persons allowed to sell a range of substances which are
listed in the various schedules of the Poisons Act 1972.
Inclusion on the list permits the retail sale of substances
on the list.
Whose details are on the list?
The person who will carry out the sale should be entered
on the list, a deputy or deputies may also be
nominated.
Do wholesalers of Part II Poisons need to be on the
list?
If the sale is on a wholesale basis, there is no need to
be entered on the list. The details of substances, which
form the list, are very complex and there are variations
between parts of the list as to whom some substances may be
sold. All sales must be in a closed container, which has
been closed by the manufacturer.
How do I apply for inclusion in the
list?
