EPA Adds Pesticide Product Label System to Web Site

The U.S. EPA has added to its Web site the Pesticide Product Label System. This is a collection of images, in multi-page TIFF format, of pesticide labels which have been approved by the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) under Section 3 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act. The collection contains the initially approved label for pesticide products registered under FIFRA Section 3 as well as subsequent versions of labels that have changed via amendment or notification.

In addition to the stamped approved labels, this collection contains any associated correspondence about the terms of registration, specifying any changes that the registrant was required to make in the final printed label. Because some label amendments address only portions of the label, you may have to review several labels for a single product to determine the complete terms of registration.

The collection does not identify those products which have been subsequently canceled or transferred, but rather identifies each pesticide label as it appeared at the time that it was approved.

The label images are indexed by EPA registration number and the date on which the label was initially registered or amended. If you do not know the registration number, you can search all federally registered products by active ingredient, product name, or company name, in EPA's Pesticide Product Information System, which you can access on the California Department of Pesticide Regulation Web site.
