This document notifies that Resolution No. 7128/2022 introduced amendments to Resolution No. 1557/2014 "Establishing requirements for the authorization of pesticides", which in substance incorporates one more option for the evaluation and authorization of pesticides for agricultural use, for those that have already undergone the process for recognition of the registration or authorization of an active substance identical to a pesticide already authorized by the relevant authority in the United States of America or the European Union, adding the requirements and conditions necessary to qualify for recognition.

The authorization of these pesticides by SAG under this mechanism will be on the condition that the registration or authorization of the active substance in the United States of America or the European Union remain in force.

Recognition as an option was already available in the regulations on the authorization of semiochemical pesticides (Resolution No. 2082/2022), and this amendment extends to all pesticides regulated by Resolution No. 1557/2014, in accordance with the principle of applicability.

The amendments to SAG Resolution No. 1.557 of 2014 establishing requirements for the authorization of pesticides are available on the website of the Library of the National Congress of Chile http://www.sag.gob.cl/.
