Active substances exempted from the ban
Innehållsförteckning:
Here you can find comprehensive tables over the active substances exempted from the ban on use of plant protections products in certain areas. The ban and the exemptions apply from the 1st of October 2021.
What do the exemptions mean in practice?
The use of plant protections products in certain areas is banned in Sweden since the 1st of October 2021, according to Chapter 2, 37 § p. 2-6 in the Swedish Ordinance (2014:425) on pesticides. But according to 37a § in the ordinance, the Swedish Chemicals Agency has the mandate to decide on exemptions from the ban for active substances that only pose limited risks. This means that plant protection products containing only exempted active substances with limited risks may be used in the areas otherwise covered by the ban - provided that the intended use is included in the conditions of the product authorisation.
Please note that so called "basic substances for plant protection purposes" and NIS (nematodes, insects and arachnids) are not defined as plant protection products in the Regulation (EC) 1107/2009, and are therefore not covered by the ban.
The substances exempted by the Swedish Chemicals Agency are:
- active substances approved as substances posing low risks in accordance with Article 22 of the EU Plant Protection Products Regulation (No 1107/2009) and listed in Part D in the Annex of the EU Regulation (EC) No 540/2011.
- active substances listed in Annex 15 to KIFS 2008:3. The majority of these substances have been listed as potential low risk substances in the EU.
Here you can find regulation KIFS 2008:3. , 1.3 MB.
Plant protection products for non-professional use may only contain the exempted substances
The tables also show which substances that will in the longer term be allowed in products authorised for non-professional users. The Swedish Chemicals Agency has decided that from the 17th of May 2021 only products containing exempted active substances can be placed in authorisation class 3 when authorisations are granted or renewed. Authorisation class 3 includes the products allowed for non-professional users.
Description of the tables of exempted active substances
The tables below show comprehensive lists of the exempted active substances and in which legislation they are listed. Substances that occur in both legislations are shown as listed in (EC) No 540/2011. There is one table for chemical substances and one for microorganisms.
About one third of the exempted chemical active substances, and less than half of the exempted active microorganisms, are today represented on the Swedish market in authorised plant protection products.
For details on authorised products, please consult the Swedish version of the tables.
Tables in Swedish list also the authorised products in Sweden with only exempted active substances
The tables are compiled by the Swedish Chemicals Agency. The completeness and correctness of the tables cannot be guaranteed at a given time, due to updating of the legislations. Hence, for the current and valid exemptions at any given time, we refer to the legislation mentioned above.
