This evaluation will take into consideration the following information:
the toxicological and metabolism studies as provided for in Annex II and the results of the evaluation thereof including the acceptable operator exposure level (AOEL). The acceptable operator exposure level is the maximum amount of active substance to which the operator may be exposed without any adverse health effects. The AOEL is expressed as milligrams of the chemical per kilogram body weight of the operator. The AOEL is based on the highest level at which no adverse effect is observed in tests in the most sensitive relevant animal species or, if appropriate data are available, in humans;
other relevant information on the active substances such as physical and chemical properties;
the toxicological studies provided for in Annex III, including where appropriate dermal absorption studies;
other relevant information as provided for in Annex III such as:
composition of the preparation,
nature of the preparation,
size, design and type of packaging,
field of use and nature of crop or target,
method of application including handling, loading and mixing of product,
exposure reduction measures recommended,
protective clothing recommendations,
maximum application rate,
minimum spray application volume stated on the label,
number and timing of applications;
This evaluation shall be made for each type of application method and application equipment proposed for use of the plant protection product as well as for the different types and sizes of containers to be used, taking account of mixing, loading operations, application of the plant protection product and cleaning and routine maintenance of application equipment.
the type of packaging,
its dimensions and capacity,
the size of the opening,
the type of closure,
its strength, leakproofness and resistance to normal transport and handling,
its resistance to and compatibility with the contents.
obtainability and suitability,
ease of wearing taking into account physical stress and climatic conditions.
This evaluation will take into consideration the following information:
the toxicological and metabolism studies on the active substance as provided for in Annex II and the results of the evaluation thereof, including the acceptable operator exposure level;
the toxicological studies provided for in Annex III, including where appropriate dermal absorption studies;
other relevant information on the plant protection product as provided for in Annex III such as:
re-entry periods, necessary waiting periods or other precautions to protect humans and animals,
method of application, in particular spraying,
maximum application rate,
maximum spray application volume,
composition of the preparation,
excess remaining on plants and plant products after treatment,
further activities whereby workers are exposed.
the determination of an acceptable daily intake (ADI),
the identification of metabolites, degradation and reaction products in treated plants or plant products,
behaviour of residues of the active substance and its metabolites from the time of application until harvest, or in the case of post-harvest uses, until outloading of stored plant products.
data on the proposed good agricultural practice, including data on application as provided for in Annex III and proposed pre-harvest intervals for envisaged uses, or withholding periods or storage periods, in the case of post-harvest uses,
nature of the preparation,
analytical methods and the residue definition.
the proposed conditions of use of the plant protection product;
the specific information on residues in or on treated plants, plant products, food and feed as provided for in Annex III and the distribution of residues between edible and non-edible parts;
the specific information on residues in or on treated plants, plant products, food and feed as provided for in Annex II and the results of the evaluation thereof;
the realistic possibilities of extrapolating data from one crop to another.
