Chemical name: Carbamic acid, (3-chlorophenyl)-, 1-methylethyl ester Final regulatory action has been taken for the category: Pesticide Final regulatory action: The chemical is Banned Use or uses prohibited by the final regulatory action: All applications as a plant protection product Pesticide use or uses that remain allowed: Not relevant The final regulatory action was based on a risk or hazard evaluation: Yes Summary of the final regulatory action: It is prohibited to place on the market or use plant protection products containing the active substance chlorpropham because chlorpropham is not approved as active substance in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market. EU Member States had to withdraw all authorisations for plant protection products containing chlorpropham as active substance by 8 January 2020. Disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks of plant protection products containing chlorpropham is prohibited as of 8 October 2020. The reasons for the final regulatory action were relevant to: Human health and environment Summary of known hazards and risks to human health: It was concluded that no plant protection product containing the active substance chlorpropham is expected to satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and the uniform principles laid down in Regulation (EC) 546/2011. According to the evaluation it cannot be concluded whether the residues of the plant protection products consequent on application consistent with good plant protection practice and having regard to realistic conditions of use shall not have any harmful effects on human health including that of vulnerable groups. The information available was insufficient to satisfy the requirements set out in Article 4(1) to (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, in particular with regard to the risk to consumers. ? The consumer risk assessment could not be finalised due to several data gaps and uncertainties identified for the food crop uses. On the basis of an indicative risk assessment acute and chronic exceedances of the health based reference values for chlorpropham and the metabolite (3-chloroaniline) were indicated. ? The risk assessment for bystanders and residents for the use on potatoes could not be finalised. Moreover, further scientific assessment of the potential endocrine disrupting properties of chlorpropham is needed to exclude an endocrine-mediated mode of action.Expected effect of the final regulatory action in relation to human health: Reduction of risk for human health from the use of plant protection products containing chlorpropham Summary of known hazards and risks to the environment: It was concluded that no plant protection product containing the active substance chlorpropham is expected to satisfy in general the requirements laid down in Article 29(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and the uniform principles laid down in Regulation (EC) 546/2011. According to the evaluation it cannot be concluded whether the residues of the plant protection products consequent on application consistent with good plant protection practice and having regard to realistic conditions of use shall not have any harmful effects to animal health. The information available was insufficient to satisfy the requirements set out in Article 4(1) to (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, in particular: ? the risk assessment with regard to the risk to non-target arthropods for the field uses could not be finalised due to the lack of toxicity data on the two standard species.Expected effect of the final regulatory action in relation to the environment: Reduction of risk for the environment from the use of plant protection products containing chlorpropham. Date of entry into force of the final regulatory action: 17/06/2019 |
