HSE Pesticides ebulletin

Date issued: 5 June 2024

An independent pesticides regulatory regime is in operation in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales).

This ebulletin includes information relating to plant protection products (PPP) legislation in Great Britain (GB).

Expiry of the approval of the active substance myclobutanil in GB

The approval of myclobutanil was not supported for GB renewal. The approval of myclobutanil has now expired as a pesticide active substance in GB.

The statutory approvals register has been updated to reflect this change.

There are products authorised in GB containing myclobutanil, which will expire with grace periods for the sale, distribution, storage, disposal, and use of existing stocks.

Details of authorised products and their grace periods can be found on the Pesticides Register.

The expiry of the approval of myclobutanil has no immediate impact on the GB Maximum Residue Levels (GB MRLs) which will remain in force unless HSE decides to take specific regulatory action; no such action is currently planned, but GB MRLs will be reviewed and this will be based on a priority of protecting UK consumers. For MRLs, please see the GB MRL Statutory Register.
