EUROPE: New EPPO standard on efficacy evaluation for low-risk plant protection products is published

The EPPO standard “PP 1/296 (1) Principles of efficacy evaluation for low-risk plant protection products” has been first approved in September 2017 and released on 13 October 2017.

This Standard describes the principles for determining the requirements for an efficacy evaluation of low-risk plant protection products in a registration procedure, based on addressing the data requirements as specified by Regulation (EC) 1107/2009. This standard is intended for the harmonization of requirements for the efficacy evaluation of low-risk plant protection products to facilitate their placement on the market.

This document provides a framework for the minimum efficacy data requirements needed to demonstrate that a low-risk plant protection product is sufficiently effective and crop safe for authorisation, taking into consideration that a more specialised approach may be used compared to other plant protection products because they often have different properties and modes of action, and that a more flexible efficacy evaluation may be followed.
