How to Register for Me-Too Technical Material Under China New Pesticide Regulation?

According to the Pesticide Registration Data Requirements, the registration of chemical pesticide technical material (technical concentrate) is divided into the registration of new pesticide technical material (TC), the registration of non-identical technical material (TC) and the registration of me-too technical material (TC). Compared with the registration of new and non-identical TC, the registration of me-too technical material requires fewer test data and expenses, and the corresponding registration period is shortened from four years to about one year. To complete a successful me-too technical material registration, the requirements of Annex 10 Guidance on Equivalence Assessment of TC in the Pesticide Registration Data Requirements should be followed. You need to review the me-too TC registration requirements, assess registration data and prepare registration data for me-too TC registration, and keep an eye on the approval process of ICAMA (Institute for the Control of Agrochemicals) of MOA (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs) to…
