Book (stand-alone)International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management – Guidance on Good Labelling Practices for Pesticides
Second revision
2022Also available in:
This second revision of the Guidance on Good Labelling Practice for Pesticides targets pesticide regulatory authorities, primarily in developing countries and countries with economies in transition, which have to define or revise national pesticide labelling requirements. The guidance aims also to assist pesticide registration authorities in reviewing the design and contents of (draft) pesticide labels. Other stakeholders, such as pesticide industry and civil society groups, may also find the guidance useful for writing or evaluating pesticide labels. The revised guidance further stresses the importance to adopt the Globally Harmonised System of classification of pesticides by hazard (GHS) and to use it for pesticide labelling. It provides a revised section on colour bands (4.7) so that labels of pesticide products reflect both acute health and severe chronic toxicity. -
Book (stand-alone)International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management - Guidance on Pesticide Legislation - Second edition 2020

No results found.The purpose of the guidelines is to provide guidance to governments that seek to review, update or design national pesticide legislation. It should be emphasized, however, that legislation alone cannot ensure effective pesticide management and adequate protection of the environment and public health. Governments will need to have in place the necessary institutional infrastructure for registering pesticides and enforcing legislation. Further, governments also need effective supporting policies and tools to promote sustainable pest and pesticide management. This may include promoting Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Integrated Vector Management (IVM) through training programmes and incentive schemes, increasing availability and use of low risk products, fostering scientific research, carrying out public education campaigns and providing training for inspectors, retailers and professional users. A solid legislative framework should underpin the selected institutional framework, policies and tools. This document supersedes the Guidelines for Legislation on the Control of Pesticides of 1989. -
