The law used to say that some products had to be tested every year to check what they contain. You would test products that the government says are regulated. This law was part of the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Act 1990, which is about packaging and labelling of regulated products. The rule about annual testing was repealed, which means it is no longer a law, as of 1 January 2023, by section 32 of the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Amendment Act 2022.
