GB PPP new active substance: public consultation on Elemental iron

Call for comments on the first GB approval of the new active substance Elemental iron.

HSE has received a dossier from ADAMA Agriculture B.V. for the following active substance/uses:

 

Substance: Elemental iron – a molluscicidal active substance for the control of slugs and snails in edible and non-edible crops (outdoor and protected).

 

The dossier is for the first approval of this substance in GB under assimilated Regulation No 1107/2009.

 

The assessment was performed by HSE's Chemicals Regulation Division.

 

Any interested third parties are invited to comment on the content and conclusions of the Draft Assessment Report (DAR) or share any relevant information. Comments can be submitted by any member of the public or interested party.

HSE published the DAR in mid-June during the general election period, when government communications are kept to a minimum. So the 60-day consultation period has since been extended to provide more time for responses.

 

The deadline for receiving comments is 1 September 2024.
