Application for the Reassessment of a Hazardous Substance under ...

6.1.13.3 Guidance to provide information for operators regarding the transport ofDDVP strips and sachets should be developed by the registrant to ensurethat operators are aware of the risks posed by open of damaged sachetscontaining DDVP strips.6.1.13.4 By specifying identification requirements to be placed on trapscontaining dichlorvos-containing strips that indicate the potential for aninhalation risk should ensure that the level of adverse effects tobystanders is negligible.6.2 Evaluation of options to reduce risk by restricting use6.2.1 The risks posed by a substance can be removed by restricting the use of thesubstance, either by revoking approvals or by imposing controls that restrict use toparticular applications. Given that no risk assessment has been carried out for offlabelusage, in order to ensure that use of dichlorvos-containing substances are usedin a manageable fashion then use must be restricted to those detailed on the productlabels, taking into consideration any implications of this reassessment.6.2.2 The discussion in Section 2 indicates that in some sectors the risks can be controlledby strengthening the controls. In sectors where this is not the case, revocation of theapproval is proposed.6.3 Effect of proposed additional controls on the level of risk6.3.1 The Use Scenarios have been reproduced in Table 15 to assist in understanding theproposed additional controls.6.3.2 The effect on the final level of risk by the addition of controls to reduce exposure isdetailed in Table 16.Table 15Summary of Use Scenarios.UseOutdooragricultural useIndoor agriculturaluseIndoor nonagriculturaluseIndoor domesticuseOutdoor domesticuseOutdoor nonagriculturaluseManufacture forexportUse Scenario1, 2 (boom application: strawberries)3, 4 (boom application: vegetables, cereals, berries)5, 6 (air-blast application: fruit - tamarillo, persimmon, berries)7, 8 (hand-held sprayer: passionfruit)9, 10, 11, 12 (automatic fogging: glasshouse crops, mushroom houses)13, 14 (automatic fogging: glasshouse flowers)15, 16 (manual spraying: glasshouse flowers)17, 18, 20, 21 (automatic fogging: enclosed space (industrial))19, 22, 23 (manual fogging: enclosed space (industrial))24, 25 (manual spraying: enclosed space (industrial))26, 27 (manual application: enclosed space (domestic))28, 29 (manual application: enclosed space (domestic))30 (manual fogging: public outdoor use)31 (MAF-BNZ fruit fly monitoring)32 (for exportation)Dichlorvos reassessment – application Page 81 of 436
