Approvals for research and development
9.—(1) A person shall not carry out any experiment or test for research or development purposes involving the release into the environment of a plant protection product which has not been approved under regulation 5, 7, 8 or 11 unless an approval for trial purposes has been granted by the Department under this regulation in respect of that product.
(2) Subject to paragraph (3), any person who wishes to obtain an approval under this regulation shall submit an application to the Department before the commencement of the experiment or test, together with a dossier containing all the available information, so as to permit an assessment to be made of possible effects on human or animal health or the possible impact on the environment.
