The Registration Handbooks

Guidance on the policies, procedures and data requirements relating to the control and registration of agricultural pesticides and plant protection products in the United Kingdom.

This website (www.pesticides.gov.uk) deals with the approval of agricultural, horticultural and home garden pesticides (also known as plant protection products). Non-agricultural (public hygiene) pesticides and biocides are also the responsibility of CRD. However, information about these products is held on the main HSE website at the following link: http://www.hse.gov.uk/biocides/index.htm . (Further information about this website's current purpose)
