CRD - Live Online Workshop: Introduction to Ecotoxicological Risk Assessment for Plant Protection Products

Live Online

Introduction

This workshop will help develop an understanding of the regulatory approach to ecotoxicological risk assessment under the GB Plant Protection Products regime (GB PPP).

It will focus on helping attendees develop an understanding of how to conduct first-tier risk assessments for non-target organisms and how these are assessed by HSE as the regulator responsible for authorisations and approvals under GB PPP.

The training will be delivered by HSE regulatory specialists and will help attendees improve the quality of their submissions and understand how these will be reviewed by the GB regulator.

The course will cover:

The workshop will be delivered over two half day sessions and will include a mixture of presentations and practical workshops and will be given by members of HSEs Ecotoxicological Regulatory Science Group directly involved in the registration process.

• Active substance and Plant Protection Product data requirements
• First tier bird and mammal risk assessment according to EFSA Bird and Mammal Guidance Document (2009)

• First tier bee and other non-target arthropod risk assessments
• First tier earthworm and soil macro- and micro-organisms risk assessment
