Understanding the EPA IO4 Licencing in Victoria
The AISF held a members' forum online in the first quarter 2024 to update our members. The AISF has created a documentation booklet for our members that has been well received as they work through the EPA pathway process.
The AISF has formed a working Committee of Electroplaters in Victoria, to make the licencing process as easy as possible for our members.
An AISF Director, also represents the AISF on the EPA Victoria’s Small Business and Manufacturing consultation group to ensure all our members gain the IO4 licence with a minimum of fuss.
We meet with the EPA each quarter and we are working with them in regard to best practices for achieving and keeping operating licences in VIC.
