Management of agrichemicals
Objective of this standard is to provide practical and specific guidance on the safe, responsible and effective management of agrichemicals, including plant protection products (such as herbicides, insecticides, fungicides), veterinary medicines, fumigants used in rural situations and agricultural use. A number of updates have been included in this revision including expanding off-label guidelines to align with current industry practice, including new technologies such as UAVs and drones, and reflecting recent changes to legislation and an updated classification system for hazardous substances.
