This Guidance describes how to perform hazard identification for endocrine-disrupting properties by following the scientific criteria which are outlined in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/2100 and 2018/605 biocidal products plant protection products, respectively.
New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) comprise in silico and vitro methods applied as alternative to animal testing. Even though NAMs are already fully implemented research tools, their use regulatory risk assessments (RA) is limited currently. To promote the uptake/acceptance of NAMs, a paradigm shift assessment approaches, proper dialogue between assessors managers needed. Several reviews addressed for chemical RA generic terms, but without providing specific considerations on food/feed safety...
Positive results in the Ames test correlate well with carcinogenic potential rodents. This correlation is not perfect because mutations are only one of many stages tumour development. Also, situations can be envisaged where mutagenic response may specific to bacteria or protocol, e.g., bacterial-specific metabolism, exceeding a detoxification threshold, induction oxidative damage which more sensitive than mammalian cells vitro tissues vivo. Since most chemicals also tested for genotoxicity...
Abstract The conclusions of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) following peer review initial risk assessments carried out by competent authorities rapporteur Member State, Belgium, and co‐rapporteur Austria, for pesticide active substance lenacil are reported. context was that required Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012, as amended 2018/1659. were reached on basis evaluation representative uses a herbicide sugar fodder beet (field use). reliable end points,...
The conclusions of EFSA following the peer review initial risk assessments carried out by competent authorities rapporteur Member State United Kingdom and co-rapporteur Greece for pesticide active substance mancozeb are reported. context was that required Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012. were reached on basis evaluation representative uses as a fungicide wheat (winter/spring), grapevine, potatoes tomatoes. reliable end points, appropriate use in regulatory assessment...
This guidance document provides a tiered framework for risk assessors and facilitates managers in making decisions concerning the approval of active substances (AS) that are chemicals plant protection products (PPPs) biocidal products, authorisation products. Based on approaches presented this document, conclusion can be drawn impact water treatment processes residues AS or its metabolites surface and/or groundwater abstracted production drinking water, i.e. formation transformation (TPs)....
According to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, EFSA has reviewed the maximum residue levels (MRLs) currently established at European level for group pesticide active substances cypermethrins. To assess occurrence
In compliance with Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, EFSA received from the European Commission in 2020 a mandate to provide its reasoned opinion on toxicological properties and maximum residue levels (MRLs) for benzimidazole substances carbendazim thiophanate-methyl. Specifically, was asked assess whether thiophanate-methyl or has clastogenic potential and, case can be excluded, derive reference values necessary consumer risk assessment (MRLs). Although these active are no longer...
The conclusions of EFSA following the peer review initial risk assessments carried out by competent authorities rapporteur Member State Austria and co-rapporteur Italy for pesticide active substance captan are reported confirmatory data Article 12 Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 as well. context was that required Commission Implementing (EU) 844/2012, amended 2018/1659. were reached on basis evaluation representative uses a fungicide pome fruit, peaches nectarines, plums, cherry, tomato,...
