Legal BasisPursuant to Section 9 of PD 1144 and

Article II, Sec. 1 of FPA Rules and

Regulations No. 1, Series of 1977, allpesticides intended for commercial use

in the Philippines shall be registered

with the Fertilizer and PesticideAuthority.

REGUL TORY M ND TES ON PESTICIDE To promulgate rules and regulations for theregistration and licensing of handlers of pesticide

and other agricultural chemicals.

To restrict or ban the use of any pesticide or the

formulation of certain pesticide upon evidence ofits imminent hazard, has caused and is causingwidespread serious damage to crops, fish, andlivestock or to the public health and the

environment.


11/23

To determine scientific uses or manner of uses

for each pesticide.

To enter and inspectfarmers field to ensure thatthe recommended pesticide are used in specific

crops in accordance with good agriculturalpractice (GAP).

To establish and enforce tolerance levels and GAP

for pesticide use in raw agriculturalcommodities.


12/23

PESTICIDE REGISTR TIONSYSTEM Toensure that pesticide products meet the

prescribed standards before they are imported,manufactured, formulated, distributed, sold andused in the Philippines.

Products for registration shall be tested forefficacy under local conditions followingstandard protocols .

Only FPA accredited researchers may conductfield tests and experiments.

Types and Use of Required Datafor Pesticide Registration

Bio eff icacy dataprovides a mechanism toensure that the pesticide product will performagainst the intended pests as indicated in the label.

Toxicology datadata from this study as well asresults from skin, eye and dermal sensitization

studies are used to identify relative acute toxicityfor classification and label precautionarystatements.


14/23

Human safetyworkers exposure studies is

required for new products with strong

toxicological concern. Workers exposure and

safety are generally arrived at by observation and

judgment and monitoring or calculation.

Environmental effectsinformation required to

assess hazards to non-target organisms derived

from tests to determine pesticidal effects on birds,

mammals, fish, aquatic invertebrates and plants.


15/23

Environmental fate and transport

data generated are used to assess

a) toxicity to man through exposure to pesticideresidues remaining on crops after application

b) presence of widely distributed and persistent

pesticide in the environment

c) potential exposure of other non-target organisms

like fish and wildlife.

Residue in fooddata used to estimate exposure of

the general public to pesticide residues in food.


16/23

Residue in food

FPA Greenbook, p. 31For registration purposes, FPA may allow

applicants to submit residue data generated

from other countries with similar agro-climatic conditions and use patters

following FAO Guidelines on Supervised

Pesticide Residue Field Test


17/23

SEC. 2. PD 1144 IRRAny person may file an application for registration of a pesticide, which must be

in the prescribed form addressed to the Authority and under oath, containing

complete and detailed information required, which shall include:

A statement of the composition, including all ingredients; and the

chemical identities of its active ingredients, including their stability in

storage;

Adequate toxicological data (i.e. oral, dermal and inhalation) concerning

the active ingredients;

Instructions for use, precautionary measures, first aid, claims and other

statements, which are proposed for the labeling;

Reports of official or other accredited experimental stations on

biological tests concerning the efficiency and safety of the pesticide,particularly under Philippine conditions;

Methods of analysis of the formulated compound;

Methods for determination of its residues; and

Such samples or information relative to the efficiency or safety of the

pesticide as may be required by the Authority.


18/23

SEC. 2. PD 1144 IRR

b.) The methods, facilities and controls used

Importance of SPRT

To assist in the evaluation, during registration ofthe safety and efficacy of the products;

Estimation of maximum residue levels on whichthe legal limits are based

Adequate data from properly conducted trials involving agricultural plantsor farm animals intended for the production of food are needed to

establish the parameters of:GOOD AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES

in the use of pesticides
