(9) Verification that the product to be imported is materially identical to a UK approved product.
(10) Chemistry covers assessment of the technical specification of the active substance in the product and the physico-chemical properties of the product.
(11) Toxicology covers assessment of the mammalian metabolism and toxicology of the active substance in the product and determination of the types of hazard to which the product can give rise.
(12) Operator exposure additionally covers exposure of other persons resulting from the product use.
(13) Consumer exposure covers exposure of consumers resulting from consumption of produce from treated crops, treated produce or products derived from either, including products from animals to which any such matter has been fed.
(14) Fate and behaviour in the environment covers the potential environmental exposure from product use, including the identity and quantity of the active substance, metabolites, degradation products and reaction products which may be available in the soil, water or air and are of toxicological or environmental significance.
(15) Ecotoxicology covers the assessment of the potential impact on non-target species likely to be at risk from exposure to the product, including the active substance, and toxicologically or environmentally significant metabolites, degradation products and reaction products.
(16) Effectiveness covers the assessment of whether a product consistently controls the target pest. Crop safety covers the assessment of whether the product adversely affects the treated crops, following crops or treated produce.
