Requirements for the authorisation holder and importer after the decision
The authorisation holder completes the product’s label for assignment of registration number.
When you apply for authorisation of a plant protection product, you should include a Norwegian draft label with the application. After the Norwegian Food Safety Authority have approved the product, the applicant should correct the draft label to be in accordance with the requirements in the decision letter, and send it back to the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. When the label is in accordance with the decision letter, we will assign the product a unique registration number, which you must add to the completed label. Not until then you may place the plant protection product on the marked.
The authorisation holder should always submit a pdf-copy of the print-ready label with the registration number to the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. We will then add the label to our list of approved chemical and microbiological plant protection products.
