[Toxicological evaluation of crop protection chemicals in the EU registration process].
Authorisation of crop protection chemicals prior to placing into the market is being regulated with standardized regulations in the European Community territory. The Member States are obliged to introduce all provisions constituting the base for the evaluation of protection chemicals and determining their safety for man and environment. The rules governing toxicological evaluation of plant protection products and their active substances have been discussed and the practical relevance of the harmonized provisions for the safety assessment of pesticides in the EU were also presented. Introducing the assessment of risk resulting from treatments with chemical crop protection chemicals in the registration process widens the safety margin for users of plant protection products as well as fixes new safety standards at agrochemical works.
