Biochemical pesticides are an increasingly popular alternative to traditional chemical pesticides in China. However, registering and complying with regulations for biochemical pesticides in China requires a detailed understanding of the relevant laws and policies.

In China, pesticide products must undergo registration toxicology tests before they can be sold. The acute toxicity test is an important part of risk assessment for pesticides. It is used to determine the health hazards of the test substance when orally, dermally, or via inhalation administered to animals once or several times within 24 hours.

On May 12, 2023, the Institute for the Control of Agrochemicals, Ministry of Agriculture of China (ICAMA) published the draft Measures on the Management of Pesticide Registration for public hearing. This article is to extract several key changes that may attract attention within the draft.

Pesticides are essential substances used in agriculture and forestry to prevent or control the spread of diseases, insects, weeds, rodents, and other harmful organisms. They regulate plant growth and insect behavior, helping to maintain the integrity of crops and forests.

On March 11, 2023, the Institute for the Control of Agrochemicals of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Areas of China (ICAMA) published a notice to announce the opening of a new technical consultation mailbox ([email protected]).

Currently, registering pesticide products in China can be costly and time-consuming due to regulations such as the Regulations on Pesticide Administration, Measures for the Administration of Pesticide Registration, and Requirements for Pesticide Registration Data. To help mitigate these challenges, authorizing pesticide product registration data can provide a more cost-effective and efficient solution.

On January 19, 2023, the General Office of China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MOARA) issued a notice on the establishment of a coordination mechanism for pesticide registration information, aimed at streamlining administration and delegating power, improving government, and upgrading services.

China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has announced the approval of 10 new pesticide product registrations from Sichuan Jinzhu Ecological Agricultural Science and Technology Co., Ltd. and three other enterprises. The National Pesticide Registration Review Committee has completed a technical and evaluation review of the applications, in accordance with the “Regulations on Pesticide Administration” and “Administrative Measures for Pesticide Registration.”

In 2022, Chinese officials fined a company for violating multiple regulations related to disinfectant products. This incident serves as a reminder that the Chinese government has strict regulations that must be followed by companies operating in China. To avoid penalties and fines, enterprises targeting China should take into account key considerations.
