Plant protection products

Changes to the authorisation certificates

Currently, the authorisations of plant protection products are being transferred to a new database. This requires adjustments to the admissions themselves. This means that there may be small temporary differences between the pdf version of the authorisations and the data in the search module.

Electronic submission of applications for plant protection products

Applications can be submitted via the following email address: secret.div1@health.fgov.be. The email must clearly state all the information with reference to any attachment. Additional information can be submitted as an attachment to the e-mail or via another channel (e.g. a cloud system). Dossiers submitted electronically no longer need a submission in writing.
