Nebih Updates Regulations: Simple Substances Now Permitted in Non-Plant Protection Preparations with Additional License Holder Statement
National Food Chain Safety Office (Nébih) has reminded license holders about amended regulations for preparations that are not classified as plant protection agents.
Effective immediately, these preparations can now include simple substances in their composition. However, this requires a written declaration from the license holder stating that the intended use of the product differs from that outlined in the review report for the corresponding simple substance in the database established by Executive Order 540/2011/EU.
The formulation of treatments that are not classified as plant protection agents can now incorporate simple chemicals. This includes:
- Plant protection products that do not qualify as plant protection agents
- The coating aids
- Protective materials
- The interaction enhancers
- The auxiliary materials
- The effect modifiers
- Plant protection tools.
Key Points:
- Simple Substances Allowed: Preparations can now include basic components such as plant protection products, coating aids, protective materials, interaction enhancers, auxiliary materials, effect modifiers, and plant protection tools.
- Declaration Requirement: License holders must provide a signed and sealed statement declaring that the product’s use varies from the database’s review report. This declaration is required for all new and ongoing licence applications.
- Prohibited Active Ingredients: Preparations must still exclude active
substances labelled “approved” or “not approved” in the database. - Complete Composition: The complete composition of co-formulants must be submitted for evaluation. Confidential information can be sent directly to the licensing authority.
The review of already registered preparations composition will take place during renewals. Nebih encourages license holders to thoroughly assess the composition of their preparations to ensure compliance with the updated regulations.
