This is a selection of the Series on Pesticides and the Series on Biocides.
The objective of the OECD Pesticide Programme is to help governments co-operate in assessing and reducing the risks of agricultural pesticides. The OECD encourages governments to share the work of pesticide registration and develops tools to monitor and minimise pesticide risk to health and the environment.
Non-agricultural pesticides are dealt with under the OECD Biocides Programme. Biocides represent a range of products that help destroy and control viruses, bacteria, algae etc. such as disinfectants, wood preservatives and rodenticides.
The document provides guidance to both industry and regulatory authorities in the context of pre-submission consultations prior to submission of applications for the registration of microbial biological control agents.
