The Application of processes for Mandatory Reporting to the ACCC
If you are, or the company you work for is, a manufacturer, importer, distributor, retailer or contractor of consumer goods or product related services in Australia, then the Mandatory Reporting requirements of the Australian Competition and Consumer Act 2010 will apply to you and your company.
To assist the food and beverage sector, the AFGC has developed a guide to the application of processes in determining when mandatory reporting obligations may apply to suppliers consumer goods and product related services in the food and beverage sector which have been associated with death, serious injury or illness.
The guide has been developed with the support of industry members and in consultation with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and also with Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ), and has received broad support as an industry specific guide.
This guide in no way replaces the obligation on the supplier of consumer goods or product related services to make their own internal assessment of the need to report an issue under the Australian Competition and Consumer Act 2010 or via other legislative mechanisms.

The Mandatory Reporting requirements are detailed in Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010.
