In recent years, affected by environmental protection and production costs, the global pesticide industry is facing various challenges. Major pesticide enterprises have begun to look for new market opportunities, strive to improve their market share, and constantly turn their eyes to the international market. REACH24H has been deeply engaged in the global pesticide registration regulations for many years, committed to helping enterprises break the global import and export trade barriers, let good products go to the world, and create value with compliance.

Therefore, with years of regulatory research and practical experience, REACH24H is launching the 2022 Global Pesticide Registration Online Courses to share regulatory updates with pesticide enterprises. The courses will be divided into five sessions, each on the last Wednesday of February through June.

[Resources Available] How to Enter the EU Pesticide Market

As an important part of the global pesticide market, the EU has had a stable demand for pesticides and is also considered one of the premium markets for pesticides in the world, due to its well-established and strict regulatory system. However, precisely because of it, many companies are deterred from the EU pesticide market and even regard it as an “exclusive” market for those who engage in multinational businesses.

In this webinar, experts from REACH24H will discuss the various ways to enter the EU pesticide market and help you efficiently break through the technical barriers to EU pesticide registration.

Main Contents

• Introduction of EU Pesticide Regulation
• Various ways to enter the EU pesticide market
  • Technical equivalence assessment
  • Active substance renewal
  • Product authorization
• Characteristics of each way
• Overall strategy to enter the EU pesticide market

[Resources Available] US EPA Biopesticide Registration and Market Analysis

Biopesticides are pesticides derived from natural materials such as animals, plants, bacteria, and certain minerals. Typically, biopesticides have unique modes of action and are considered reduced risk pesticides. Biopesticides fall into three major classes:

• Biochemical pesticides
• Microbial pesticides
• Plant-incorporated protectants

As an alternative to conventional chemical pesticides, biopesticides have attracted more and more attention from The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) due to their advantages of low toxicity, no or less residue and strong specificity to target pests. US EPA is committed to encouraging the development and use of biopesticides, and some measures have been taken to promote the registration of biopesticides. For example, compared with traditional chemical pesticides, microbial pesticides and biochemical pesticides have simpler data requirements, shorter review time and less review costs, which can greatly save the registration cost of enterprises and shorten the registration time. Meanwhile, EPA may exempt some low-risk biochemical pesticides from registration if certain requirements are met.

In addition, in the United States, biopesticides, as a safe, green and low-toxicity of pest control means, are included in the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program, which aims to improve the efficiency of pest management and encourage the use of biopesticides instead of traditional chemical pesticides.

REACH24H will hold a free open webinar on May 25, which will introduce biopesticides in detail from various aspects of U.S. biopesticides registration and market advantages, biopesticides registration strategies and exemption registration, and answer questions related to biopesticides registration.

[Resources Available] Application of (Q)SAR and Expert Knowledge for the Impurity Present in Technical Grade Pesticides

(Q)SAR models could provide useful information on impurities of unknown toxicity, and they have become one of the most important tools to assess the equivalence of a new source (TC/TK) when compared to the reference source. Along with this, an increasing number of countries and organizations (e.g., EU countries, Australia, Brazil, FAO/WHO) requires the applicants to perform (Q)SAR analysis for new/increased levels of impurities in their technical grade active ingredients via pesticide registration by equivalence.

In our upcoming webinar, REACH24H will discuss basic concepts, requirements in different countries, application of expert knowledge, establish an acceptable upper limit concentration and uncertainty analysis for (Q)SAR application in assessing the toxicological equivalence of technical grade active ingredients.

And beyond that, REACH24H will also share our practices on (Q)SAR applications in toxicological evaluation of new pesticide active ingredients as well as identifying relevant impurities/metabolites in accordance with China pesticide regulation.

Main Contents

• The generic approach for assessing toxicological equivalence
• (Q)SAR basics
•  Requirements for (Q)SAR analysis in different countries
•  Application of expert knowledge: Expert Review
• Establish an acceptable upper limit concentration for the impurity of toxicological concern
•  China News and REACH24H’s practices

[Resources Available] China Pesticide Regulation and Registration

The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the People’s Republic of China updated the Regulations on Pesticide Registration and the corresponding administrative measures in 2017. During the implementation of the new regulations, the Ministry of Agriculture has been continuously updating the regulations based on the actual pesticide assessment. As China’s pesticide registration policy is gradually tightening, it will become more difficult to register pesticides in China in the future. Therefore, it is important for enterprises to understand the latest pesticide registration policies, to be clear about the pesticide registration trends in China, and to be familiar with the key points and requirements of pesticide registration, which reduce the risk of registration and increase the approval rate.

This webinar mainly focused on the analysis of new pesticides and new requirements, which will be helpful for enterprises to register pesticides in China.

Main Contents

• Registration Trends on China Pesticide
• Procedures of China’s New Pesticide Registration
• Compliance Strategy Analysis about New pesticide
• Introduction of the Latest Pesticide Policies & Requirements
