Guidance for developing datasets for conventional pest control product applications: data codes for parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 10
Purpose
This document is an update to the Health Canada Pest Management Regulatory Agency’s (PMRA) Guidance for Developing a Database for Conventional Pest Control Products, which was first made available to registrants and applicants of pesticides and other pest control products in July 2013. An applicant applying to register a pesticide in Canada can use this information to better understand the data required for completing their application. This guidance must be used along with the Data Code (DACO) Tables and use-site category information available on the Pesticides section of Canada.ca. The DACO tables outline the required data elements for a specific use-site category and this guidance document will clarify the conditions for each required data element. Note that this document contains guidance and conditions for DACO Parts 1 through 10, excluding Parts 8 and 9, which are being developed separately (refer to PRO2016-01-Regulatory Proposal: Revised Environmental Data Requirements).
