Communication from the Commission concerning Part B of the Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 283/2013 setting out the data requirements for active substances in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2023/C 202/03)

This guidance has been developed in consultation with the Member States. It does not intend to produce any legally-binding effects and, by its nature, cannot prejudice any measure taken by a Member State in the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009, nor any case law developed with regard to this provision. Only the Court of Justice is empowered to authoritatively interpret and apply Union law.

The present Commission Communication fulfils Point 6 of the Introduction of the Annex to Regulation (EU) 283/2013 that provides that, for purposes of information and of harmonisation, the list of test methods and guidance documents relevant to the implementation of this Regulation must be published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The list below represents this list for Part B of the Annex to Regulation (EU) 283/2013, as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) 2022/1439 [(1)](#ntr1-C_2023202EN.01001401-E0001), and will be updated regularly.

Where provisions of Part B of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 283/2013 require generation of data based on requirements laid down in Part A of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 283/2013, the relevant test methods and guidance are listed in the Commission Communication relevant to the implementation of Part A of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 283/2013 (i.e. regarding chemical active substances).

Listing of a document for a section means that it is relevant for all the sub-sections. In case there is no document listed for a section, no agreed test method or guidance document is currently available. In these cases, potential applicants should discuss proposals during the pre-submission meeting with the Rapporteur Member State and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), e.g. based on draft test methods.

Test methods

Only test methods that have been validated (i.e. ring-tested by the OECD or equivalent international organisations) are listed. Test methods only described in scientific publications have not been included.

The listing of a test method should be read as referring to the most updated version of that test method available at the time of the initiation of the study.

For active substances that are micro-organisms, ad-hoc test protocols may be needed to address some data requirements. During the pre-submission phase [(2)](#ntr2-C_2023202EN.01001401-E0002), applicants, the Rapporteur Member State, and EFSA may discuss this kind of ad-hoc test protocols, in particular if test protocols listed in the Commission Communication relevant to the implementation of Part A of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 283/2013 can be used as surrogates or whether they can be adapted to be more suitable for active substances that are micro-organisms.

In view of minimising testing on vertebrate animals, tests already carried out based on older test methods should be considered as part of the risk assessment, as provided for in Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. However, during the pre-submission meeting, applicants, the Rapporteur Member State and EFSA may consider whether new test according to newer test methods are needed, if scientifically justified.

In all cases, in accordance with Directive 2010/63/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2010 on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes [(3)](#ntr3-C_2023202EN.01001401-E0003), Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 (Recitals 11 and 40, Articles 8.1(d), 18(b), 33.3(c) and 62.1) and Commission Regulation (EU) No 283/2013 [(4)](#ntr4-C_2023202EN.01001401-E0004), unnecessary animal testing must be avoided. More specifically, Article 62 of Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 provides that testing on vertebrate animals for the purposes of the approval of active substances for plant protection products shall be undertaken only where no other methods are available. Alternative methods include in-vitro testing, in-silico methods or other approaches such as read-across, as described for instance in the EURL ECVAM Status Report on the Development, Validation and Regulatory Acceptance of Alternative Methods and Approaches and the EURL ECVAM Status Report on Non-animal Methods in Science and Regulation [(5)](#ntr5-C_2023202EN.01001401-E0005). Furthermore, availability of guidance documents on non-animal testing and validated and reliable in–vitro study protocols should be considered as a valid scientific justification when considering point 1.5 of the Introduction of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 283/2013.

If several test methods are available to fulfil a data requirement, the order of test methods listed indicates a preference in case a new test is needed. The order prioritises methods where no or fewer test animals are needed and/or this method is associated with less severe suffering of the test animals. However, during the pre-submission meeting, upon advice by EFSA and the Rapporteur Member State, the order of priority can be changed when scientifically justified (e.g. due to limitations of the applicability domain of some methods) in order to ensure the scientific quality of the assessment.

Guidance documents

Guidance documents qualify to be listed when they:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | have been endorsed by the Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed (SCoPAFF) before the publication of this Communication, |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | have been developed under the auspices of an official body (e.g. EFSA, the Commission, national authorities) with the aim to address a certain area of risk assessment or procedural issues, and were consulted with relevant stakeholders, or |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | have been endorsed by an intergovernmental organisation (such as OECD, FAO, WHO, or EPPO) where the Member States take part in the endorsement process. |

The following types of guidance documents have been considered for listing:

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | Technical guidance documents, including guidance documents that are of horizontal nature that are relevant for several or all sections of the data requirements, including implementation of point 1.5 of the Introduction of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 283/2013; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | Administrative/procedural guidance documents if they are relevant for the implementation of the data requirements; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | Models or calculation tools, if they are relevant for the data requirements and can be linked to or are supportive to a guidance document; |

|  |  |
| --- | --- |
| — | Scientific Opinions of the EFSA Panels and guidance documents from the interzonal Steering Committee relevant for all the Member States have been listed following a consideration on a case by case basis, if they are relevant for the implementation of specific data requirements. |

Documents such as zonal guidance documents, EFSA statements, peer reviewed publications, technical reports, scientific reports, strategies are generally not included in the list below, except for some which were subject to a public consultation.

The listing of a guidance document should be read as referring to the most updated version of that guidance document available at the time of the initiation of the study.

As regards the EPPO standards series concerning the efficacy evaluation of plant protection products, the most relevant standards are indicated in the list below. However, the list must be considered not exhaustive since the EPPO global database is updated regularly and other standards may be needed on a case-by-case approach. Consequently, the EPPO global database is also included in the table below.
