Plant protection products (PPPs) which are sold and used in Estonia must be labelled according to regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) of substances and mixtures and Commission regulation (EU) No 547/2011.
Companies manufacturing or selling plant protection products are responsible for labelling them correctly. The information shown on the label must provide information on what risks use of the products poses and mitigate the unnecessary or harmful exposure. Constructing clear and understandable labels, the manufacturers and sellers of plant protection products can assist farmers and other users in reducing the risks in handling.
The example of the label can be found here:
Harmonised Risk Indicator 1 (HRI 1) measuring the use and risk of pesticides.
Harmonised Risk Indicator 2 (HRI 2) is based on the number of emergency authorisations.
