Pesticides and other agrochemicals (ICS 65.100)

Administrative Order No. ___ : "New Rules and Regulations in the Registration of Household Pesticide Products and Their Active Ingredients" (11 page(s), in English)

Consistent with this Act, Administrative Order (AO) No. 2014-0038 entitled "Rules and Regulations Governing Household/Urban Pesticides Licensing of Establishments and Operators, Registration of Their Products and for Other Purposes" was issued on 27 October 2014. As there is a need to provide updated guidelines and requirements consistent with international commitments such as but not limited to Montreal Protocol, Rotterdam Convention, and/or Stockholm Convention, and related local pesticide regulations and standards, this AO shall replace AO 2014-0038 to (1) better protect public health and the environment from the risks associated with pesticide use; and (2) to ensure safety, efficacy and quality of pesticide products.
