Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text

Section 5 on low-risk active substances is restructured into two new subsections, 5.1 covering active substances other than micro-organisms and 5.2 covering micro-organisms, replacing the single undivided list of disqualifying properties.

The classification criteria for excluding a substance from low-risk status are expanded and made more granular, listing specific hazard categories such as carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic to reproduction categories 1A, 1B or 2, skin and respiratory sensitisation categories, acute toxicity categories, specific target organ toxicity, aquatic toxicity, and skin corrosion sub-categories, along with identification as a priority substance under Directive 2000/60/EC, in place of the shorter prior list of hazard classes.

New text also addresses naturally occurring substances and substances used for communication by organisms as potentially qualifying for low-risk status despite persistence or bioaccumulation, and adds separate low-risk criteria for micro-organisms and baculoviruses based on antimicrobial resistance and effects on non-target insects.

An active substance substance, other than a micro-organism, shall not be considered as being of low risk low-risk where it corresponds to any of the following: (a) it is or has to be classified in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 as at least one any of the following: carcinogenic, mutagenic, carcinogenic category 1A, 1B or 2, mutagenic category 1A, 1B or 2, toxic to reproduction, sensitising chemicals, very reproduction category 1A, 1B or 2, skin sensitiser category 1, serious damage to eye category 1, respiratory sensitiser category 1, acute toxicity category 1, 2 or 3, specific Target Organ Toxicant, category 1 or 2, toxic to aquatic life of acute and chronic category 1 on the basis of appropriate standard tests, explosive, skin corrosive, category 1A, 1B or toxic, explosive, corrosive. It 1C; (b) it has been identified as priority substance under Directive 2000/60/EC; (c) it is deemed to be an endocrine disruptor; (d) it has neurotoxic or immunotoxic effects. 5.1.2. An active substance, other than a micro-organism, shall also not be considered as being of low risk if: low-risk where it is persistent (half-life in soil is more than 60 days), bioconcentration days) or its bio-concentration factor is higher than 100, 100. However, a naturally occurring active substance which does not correspond to any of points (a) to (d) of point 5.1.1 may be considered as being of low-risk, even if it is deemed persistent (half-life in soil is more than 60 days) or its bio-concentration factor is higher than 100. 5.1.3. An active substance, other than a micro-organism, emitted and used by plants, animals and other organisms for communication, shall be considered as being of low- risk where it does not correspond to any of points (a) to (d) of point 5.1.1. 5.2. Micro-organisms 5.2.1. An active substance which is a micro-organism may be an endocrine disrupter, or considered as being of low-risk unless at strain level it has neurotoxic demonstrated multiple resistance to anti-microbials used in human or immunotoxic effects. veterinary medicine. 5.2.2. Baculoviruses shall be considered as being of low-risk unless at strain level they have demonstrated adverse effects on non-target insects.
