United States of America

The US Environmental Protection Agency manages the Pesticide Product Label System (PPLS). Pesticide labels can be found by entering the product name, the company name or the EPA registration number. If only the active ingredient name is available, e.g. because the product that is submitted for registration in your country has not been registered in the USA, similar products may be found through the Pesticide Product Information System (see"Checking for registrations elsewhere").

Searching PPLS will result in a list with one or more products. Clicking on the registration number yields a data page with a list of authorized labels. The label with the most recent date is the most up-to-date one.

Australia

Authorized pesticide labels in Australia can be found through the PUBCRIS Database, of the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA). (see"Checking for registrations elsewhere", for more information).

Canada

Basic pesticide label information in Canada can be found through Pesticide Label Search of Health Canada. Pesticide labels can be searched by entering the active ingredient name, product name, the registrant's name or the registration number. The label search result is a list of registered pesticide products. To access the relevant label click on the registration number. The output of the search is a label transcript which however does not replace the hard-copy label. Pesticide label transcripts can also be accessed through a mobile application, for which the installation links are provided.

Labels published by pesticide industry

Many pesticide companies will publish generic master labels of their products on their own web sites. In addition, some will also publish the labels authorized by national regulatory bodies on the national or regional web sites of the companies.

Registration authorities may wish to verify, however, whether the labels published by the pesticide companies are the latest versions authorized in the relevant country.
