Procedure of state registration of pesticides and agricultural chemicals in Ukraine
State registration of pesticide preparations and agricultural chemicals in Ukraine includes not only registration procedure but also pre-registration researches.
Pre-registration researches stage
A request to include pesticide preparation into agenda of the Ukrainian Ministry of Natural Environment Protection for registration is to be filed before
February 25, 2010.
In parallel a request for testing of the pesticide preparation and permission for experimental party importation is also filed to the Ukrainian Ministry of Natural Environment Protection.
Upon filing the request the Ukrainian Ministry of Natural Environment Protection issues referrals to research institutions that prepare toxicity and hygiene assessment as well as bioassay. The assessment is carried out during 1-2 vegetation periods.
According to the results of the above-mentioned assessments the Ukrainian Ministry of Health Protection issues a resolution and sends it to the Ukrainian Ministry of Natural Environment Protection.
Registration stage
A request for state registration and information about the pesticide preparation (file) is filed to the Ukrainian Ministry of Natural Environment Protection.
Upon payment of the official fee for examination on the session of the registration board is taken a decision about registration. Usually the registration board takes decision about the registration term for 1-2 years, which further can be extended up to 10 years.
After payment of the registration fee (for 1, 2, 5 or 10 years term) the Certificate about state registration is issued. The certified pesticide preparation is registered in the Official Register.
In accordance with the Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 800 of 07.06.2006, the procedure of state registration and extension of registration of pesticides and agricultural chemicals includes the requirement to provide information on the patent protection rights for the active substance.
