ANSES' deadline for Co-formulants

Posted on:

4 / 5 / 2021

COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2021/383 amending Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 entered into force on 24 March 2021.

This Annex III lists the co-formulants which are unacceptable because of their toxicological profile, PBT/vPvB or endocrine disrupting properties.

To comply with regulatory timeline for amendment or withdrawal of the authorisations of Plant Protection Products and adjuvants containing these unacceptable co-formulants at national level, French National Competent Authorities require that complete information on all Plant Protection Products, adjuvants and mixt products that are authorised in France must be provided to ANSES’ services
before 31 May 2021.

Need some support to meet this short timeline?
Our Plant Protection experts Philippe ADRIAN, Estelle BELTRAN and Blandine JOURNEL can help you!

IUCLID dossier will be soon required for all new active substance applications

14 / 11 / 2020

Posted on:

In the framework of the implementation of the EC General Food Law and the Transparency Regulation, a IUCLID dossier will have to be submitted for every new active substance application from March 27th, 2021, and later in 2021 for renewal submissions. However, the CADDY dossier may not be immediately withdrawn and could still be required by some Member States. Therefore, applicants may be compelled to submit both IUCLID and CADDY dossiers.

CEHTRA has a long experience with both software systems: CADDY for the PPP regulation and IUCLID for REACh and Biocides regulations. Moreover, we can help you for the whole registration process, from data gap analysis to the final dossier submission and beyond, including IUCLID and CADDY dossiers.
