    International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management. Guidelines on Highly Hazardous Pesticides
    Guidelines on Highly Hazardous Pesticides. March 2016

    Also available in:
    The FAO/WHO Guidelines on Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs) elaborate upon specific articles in the International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management that address HHPs. This document is intended to provide guidance to countries on how to interpret and apply these articles effectively in order to reduce risks posed by HHPs. Countries are encouraged to identify the HHPs in use, to assess the risks involved and to decide upon appropriate measures to mitigate these risks. These guidelines apply to all pesticides, including agricultural, public health, household, amenity and industrial pesticides. They have been developed by the FAO/WHO Joint Meeting on Pesticide Management (JMPM).

    Technical Guidelines are issued to elaborate specific articles of the CoC and related technical aspects of pesticide management. These guidelines provide a framework to establish or strengthen national legislation, institutions, policies and strategies for pest and pesticide management. These guidelines are developed by the FAO/WHO Joint Meeting on Pesticide Management (JMPM) to ensure an informed and independent process. Older guidelines may have been reviewed through different mechanisms, but always involved broad expert peer review. This Annotated list of Guidelines for the implementation of the International Code of Conduct on the Distribution and Use of Pesticides provides a brief overview of all Guidelines and their purpose. It is aimed as a hand-out for meetings related to pesticide management to enhance familiarity with, and use of, the available technical guidelines. The annotated list follows the same structure as the actual list of guidelines on the FAO website.

    Supporting Implementation of the International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management - GCP/GLO/567/SWE 2019

    The use of pesticides in low and middle-income countries poses large risks for both human health and the environment. Suboptimal national capacities and resources to soundly manage pesticides throughout their life cycle, lack of awareness at decision-making level and inadequate decision support systems are the main barriers to addressing these risks. Against this background, the project aimed to support the implementation of the FAO/World Health Organization (WHO) International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management, which sets standards and establishes voluntary norms for pesticide management. This involved preparing key guidelines, as prioritized by the FAO\WHO Joint Meeting on Pesticide Management, contributing to the development of a web-based pesticide registration toolkit, and advancing initiatives to expedite the phasing out of highly hazardous pesticides (HHPs).
