• Upon receipt – What happens when HSE receives your application before approval is granted.
• Application form – The application form for approval of a non-agricultural pesticide product under COPR (known as a FEPA 1 form) and guidance on how to complete it.
• Data protection – A list of active ingredients that require a ‘letter of authorisation’ from the relevant company (or companies), giving HSE authority to access their data in support of the applicant’s new product.
