Authorisation procedure
News
In the context of the Federal Reduction Plan, an agreement was made with Belplant regarding the indication of the resistance code and nature on the label of plant protection products.
We make all non-confidential data of authorised plant protection products available for use by third parties. This data is shared in a raw format so that it can be easily implemented in various applications.
For the use of products containing aclonifen or carfentrazone-ethyl, a minimum drift reduction of 90% is imposed. The measure takes effect immediately and is necessary to avoid damage to adjacent crops due to spray drift.
A new version of the guidance for the applicant of an authorisation of a plant protection product in Belgium is now available.
In the search function, the way for searching by active substance has been changed. It is now possible to search by the generic name and to display products with all variants. In addition, the filter based on ‘product nature’ was also optimised.
From now on, valid emergency authorisations are included in the search function among the other authorisations. All authorisations that were valid for at least one day in 2024 were added.
