The information provided, taken together with that provided for the active substance(s), must be sufficient to precisely identify preparations and define them in terms of their specification and nature. The information and data referred to, unless otherwise specified, are required for all plant protection products.

1.1. Applicant (name and address, etc.) U.K.

The name and address of the applicant (permanent community address) must be provided as must the name, position, telephone and telefax number of the appropriate person to contact.

Where in addition, the applicant has an office, agent or representative in the Member State in which the authorization is being sought, the name and address of the local office agent or representative should be provided, as should the name, position, telephone and telefax number of the appropriate person to contact.

A contact point (preferable a central contact point, to include name, telephone and telefax numbers) must be provided for each.

If the active substance originates from a manufacturer from which data according to Annex II had not been submitted previously, a statement of purity and detailed information on the impurities in Annex II have to be provided.

1.3. Trade name or proposed trade name, and manufacturer's development code number of the preparation if appropriate U.K.

All former and current trade names and proposed trade names and development code numbers of the preparation as well as the current names and numbers must be provided. Where trade names and code numbers referred to, relate to similar but different preparations (possibly absolete), full details of the differences, must be provided. (The proposed trade name may not give rise to confusion with the trade name of already registered plant protection products.)

1.4. Detailed quantitative and qualitative information on the composition of the preparation (active substance(s), and formulants) U.K.

1.4.1. For preparations the following information must be reported: U.K.

• the content of formulants.

The concentrations should be expressed in terms as provided for in Article 6 (2) of Directive 78/631/EEC.

1.4.2. For active substances their ISO common names or proposed ISO common names and their CIPAC numbers, and, where available, the EEC (EINECS or ELINCS) numbers must be provided. Where relevant it must be stated which salt, ester, anion or cation is present. U.K.

1.4.3. Formulants must where possible, be identified both by their chemical name as given in Annex I to Directive 67/548/EEC, or, if not included in this Directive, in accordance with both IUPAC and CA nomenclature. Their structure or structural formula must be provided. For each component of the formulants the relevant EEC (EINECS or ELINCS) number and CAS number where they exist, must be provided. Where the information provided does not fully identify a formulant, an appropriate specification must be provided. The trade name of formulants, where they exist, must also be provided. U.K.

• miscellaneous (specify).

1.5. Physical state and nature of the preparation (emulsifiable concentrate, wettable powder, solution etc). U.K.

1.5.1. The type and code of preparation must be designated according to the ‘ Catalogue of pesticide formulation types and international coding system (GIFAP Technical Monograph No 2. 1989) ’ . U.K.

Where a particular preparation is not defined precisely in this publication a full description of the physical nature and state of the preparation must be provided, together with a proposal for a suitable description of the type of preparation and a proposal for its definition.

1.6. Function (herbicide, insecticide, etc.) U.K.

The function must be specified from among the following:

• acaricide,

• bactericide,

• fungicide,

• herbicide

• insecticide,

• molluscicide,

• nematicide,

• plant growth regulator,
