General procedure of registration

The Board also ensures that the technical information is summarized on the label in conformity to the Pest Control Products, Labeling, Advertising and Packaging Regulations. Every person desiring to register a pest control product is requested to submit:

2. an application for registration form, Form A ,
3. an experimental label, Label format
4. a copy of a dossier of technical information (details of requirements are available at PCPB).
5. a sample of the pest control product, and samples of the technical grade and analytical laboratory standard of the active ingredient.

If the Board is satisfied with the information provided, the product is released under experimental permit for local biological efficacy trials.
