PART A

Only uses as insecticide/nematicide (fumigant) applied by professional users in sealable structures

(a)

which are empty; or

(b)

where conditions of use ensure that consumer exposure is acceptable;

may be authorised.

PART B

For the implementation of the uniform principles of Annex VI, the conclusions of the review report on sulfuryl fluoride, and in particular Appendices I and II thereof, as finalised in the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health on 11 May 2010 shall be taken into account.

In this overall assessment, Member States must pay particular attention to:

  • the risk posed by inorganic fluoride through contaminated products, such as flour and bran that remained in the mill machinery during fumigation, or grain stored in silos in the mill. Measures are required to ensure that such products do not enter the food and feed chain,

  • the risk to operators and the risk to workers, such as when re-entering a fumigated structure after aeration. Measures are required to ensure that they wear self containing breathing apparatus or other appropriate personal protective equipment,

  • the risk to bystanders by applying an appropriate exclusion zone around the fumigated structure.

Conditions of authorisation shall include risk mitigation measures, where appropriate.

The Member States concerned shall ensure that the notifier submits to the Commission further information and in particular, confirmatory data on:

  • the mill processing conditions necessary to ensure that residues of fluoride ion in flour, bran and grain do not exceed the natural background levels,

  • tropospheric concentrations of sulfuryl fluoride. Measured concentrations should be updated regularly. The limit of detection for the analysis shall be at least 0,5 ppt (equivalent to 2,1 ng sulfuryl fluoride/m3 of tropospheric air),

  • estimates of sulfuryl fluoride atmospheric lifetime based on worst case scenario, with respect to the global warming potential (GWP).

They shall ensure that the notifier provides such information to the Commission by 31 August 2012.’
