Purpose
This Standard regulates the sale and distribution of Piper methysticum (kava) in Australia and New Zealand. It also provides for labelling requirements and restrictions on the parts of the Piper methysticum (kava) plant which may be sold under food legislation.

In Australia, this Standard should be considered in conjunction with the Customs (Prohibited Imports) Regulations 1956 and certain State and Territory restrictions on the supply of kava which seek to minimise the detrimental effects associated with kava abuse. Where kava is permitted for supply, the requirements in this Standard complement those restrictions.
