HSE Pesticides ebulletin, 16 February 2023
Thiram is no longer an approved active substance in GB and all plant protection product authorisations have been withdrawn.
As harmful effects on human health cannot be excluded, it is proposed to lower all MRLs for thiram to the limit of quantification.
The proposed date of adoption/publication of the new MRLs is 14 June 2023 and the proposed date of entry into force of the new MRLs will be 6 months after the date of adoption/publication.
To meet the UK’s international trade obligations, the measures have been notified to the World Trade Organization.
On completion of this process, an update on the final MRLs agreed, along with the date of entry into force, will be communicated via HSE’s ebulletin service.
