Summary

The purpose of this document is to inform registrants, pesticide regulatory officials and the Canadian public that Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has re-evaluated carbendazim. The risk assessment indicates that the use of carbendazim as a fungicide to control Dutch elm disease (Ophiostoma ulmi and Ophiostoma novo-ulmi) in elm species (including American, English, slippery, Chinese and Siberian) presents minimal risk to workers and the environment.

The PMRA has determined that this active ingredient is acceptable for continued registration. Mitigation measures to further protect workers are specified in this Re-evaluation Note. The registrants have been informed by letter of the specific requirements affecting their product registrations and the regulatory options available to comply with this decision.
