International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management

The purpose of this Code of Conduct is to provide guidance on different phase-out options to a country’s government authorities and other stakeholders where they have decided to remove (or ban) a pesticide product from their market, and guide on the development and implementation of a phase-out plan for risk reduction. Therefore, the starting point of the guidance is when the regulatory authority identifies the potential need to remove a pesticide product or active ingredient. This guidance also includes the case of a voluntary pesticide withdrawal by a pesticide registration holder. The guidance describes different aspects that need to be considered when deciding on a suitable phase-out strategy. It also provides guidance on how to select appropriate strategies for the planning and implementation of risk reduction and risk communication plans. National plans and strategies will largely depend on a country ́s legal and regulatory context, the hazard, and risks of the pesticide, as well as on the country’s capacities to implement the phase-out elements. Therefore, guidance will also be provided on options to establish or strengthen the regulatory framework needed to support the phase-out process.
