Special Registrations

The Special Registration Program responds to unexpected and temporary pest control problems and supports state governments in registering pesticides for intrastate use. 

Under Section 24 of FIFRA, EPA reviews state registrations of pesticides distributed and used only within the registering state to meet special local needs. EPA s review is intended to insure that state registrations meet FIFRA requirements and do not pose unreasonable adverse effects. 

Under Section 5 of FIFRA, EPA may issue experimental use permits (EUPs) to pesticide registrants. These EUPs permit large scale experimentation to develop data for new pesticides or new uses of currently registered pesticides. In many cases the crop subjected to the experimental pesticide is destroyed. If the crop will be marketed after the experimental program is completed, a temporary tolerance for a safe residue level on the food or feed commodity must be established by the Agency before the EUP is issued. Both EUP and temporary tolerance decisions are based on an evaluation on human and environmental risks and benefits associated with a proposed use.

For this, the manufacturer and the importer have to register the chemicals they are placing on the European market. The registration is mandatory for all chemicals that are sold in a volume of more than 1 Mg/a. With the registration the manufacturer and the importer have to provide a special registration dossier. This dossier should cover all necessary information to do the safety check. To be precise, the structure of the dossier has to follow well-defined requirements, which will not be explained in this article. More information is offered here [10, 11]. 

Pre-congress Courses were held "Bioimpedance Basics" by Prof. Orjan Martinsen of the University of Oslo, Norway and "Clinical Applications of Bioimpedance " by Prof. Carlos Gonzdlez Correa and co workers of the Universidad de Caldas, Colombia. Students received, as part of their special registration, a copy of the 2015 Book by Dr. Martinsen. 

Besides standard designs special GDC designs have been developed for registration of charge patterns upon the electrostatic paper with thermoplastic potential layers with an input semiconductor target, with a microchannel plate at the input and so on. The GDC design provided the basis for series production of GDC with maximum dimensions (500 x 600 mm ) and a service life above 5000 hours. 

Japan. In Japan, registration of dmgs for aquatic species requires the same data as those required for dmgs on other animals. The Ministry of Agriculture, Eorests, and Eisheries and the Ministry of Welfare control the use of chemicals in aquaculture in Japan (17). The preclinical data requirements include product chemistry, toxicity (acute, subacute, special) using rats and mice, safety to target animals, and metaboHsm. The requirements for clinical data include avadabiHty and residues. As of July 1990, more chemicals were registered for aquacultural use in Japan than in any other country (Table 4). 

Copyright registration is easily accompHshed. The copyright claimant completes a relatively simple form, returns it to the Copyright Office with a nominal fee, and deposits copies of the work. Special provisions allow for nondisclosure of trade secrets or full computer programs and the like in the deposit. 

The conduct of clinical trials is regulated in all the countries, except Cypms. In Cypms, the policy of the Ministry of Health is not to permit clinical trials for experimental medical products. Multicountry clinical trials for products licensed in developed countries are undertaken in some institutions and regulated by ethics committees (Table 8.5). In these countries, approval of clinical trials is carried out either by the DRA, as in Estonia, Malaysia, Tunisia, Venezuela and Zimbabwe, or by ethics committees. When the DRA itself is responsible for control, information about the trials is processed centrally. In Tunisia, clinical trials form part of the registration process. Trials are requested, when deemed necessary, by the specialized committee charged with reviewing the new dmg. The trial proposal is then evaluated by the technical committee, and forwarded to the Health Minister for final approval. Cuba has a National Centre for the Coordination of... 

Nevertheless, such special study protocols should be discussed with those regulatory authorities which are involved in the national registration and/or EU evaluation in advance. 

When an economic poisons product is accepted for registration, the manufacturer is authorized to sell it in the state. Official samples are drawn by inspectors to determine if a product corresponds to guarantee. Approximately 8000 different economic poisons are registered for sale in the state and it is possible, with present facilities, to sample and analyze only about one fifth of these materials in any one year. Samples are always drawn from original containers that have not previously been opened, and they may be drawn from supplies in the hands of manufacturers, dealers, or users. Reports of analyses are sent to the registered manufacturer, any dealer involved, and any user involved. At the end of each year, reports of all samples are published in a special publication of the department. Copies are available without charge upon request.

The registration of this special means encounters substantial difficulties in almost all countries, following their inclusion in the category of usual drugs. A lot of requirements concerning a very wide, preclinical and clinical investigation, which practically hinders registration of antidotes and makes no sense in case of these special pharmaceutical products. 

The UK Metals Industry REACH Group was founded in June 2005 to lobby for exclusion of metal ores and secondary raw materials from REACH and recognition of alloys as special preparations of metal covered by registrations of their components. 

Innovation in the area of chemicals is frequently reduced to the development of new substances. The registration of new substances and relevant market shares are thus interpreted as indicators of the innovation activity (or abihty to be innovative) in various economic areas". This indieator appears at best to be eapable of indicating essential aspeets of the iimovation history for the area of the active ingredients (pharmaceuticals and pesticides) and industrial special chemicals. In the extensive market of industrial ehemicals, on the other hand, the invention of new applications for old substances, the reformulation of preparations or the invention of new chemicals services should play a more important role.
