Other changes concerning an authorisation

Extension of approval period for the duration of the procedure

If it appears that the approval is likely to expire before the competent authorities have completed the evaluation process of the product or its active substance, Tukes may postpone the expiry of the approval period. The approval may be extended for a period necessary to complete the examination and adopt a decision on the renewal. Tukes asks the authorisation holder for a permission to postpone the expiry of the approval period and informs the applicant of the new expiration date by email.

Tukes does not carry a fee for postponing the expiry of the approval period.

Identical product

The authorisation holder or an operator authorised by the authorisation holder may apply for an authorisation for an already authorised plant protection product under another trade name, i.e., an identical product, if the composition of the product is the same as that of an already authorised product. In addition, the packaging sizes, materials and uses of the identical product must be the same as those of the already authorised product. Identical products will receive their own registration numbers. Use this form and send it to ppp (at) tukes.fi.

Amendments of an authorisation

If the application concerns amendments to the classification, composition, labelling, authorisation holder or withdrawal from the register, submit it using this application form. Please note that a separate application form must be completed for each product and application type, except for new manufacturer and new registration holder, which can be submitted for multiple products using the same form.

In case of composition change, submit data of the co formulants contained in the plant protection product or ask the manufacturer of the co formulants to provide the composition information of the co formulants contained in the plant protection product using this form. Compositional information must also be submitted for alternative co formulants. If the name of the plant protection product cannot be told to the co formulant manufacturer, ask Tukes for the code number for the plant protection product in order to supply the compositions of the co formulants.

When a product is withdrawn from the register, Tukes may grant a grace period for the disposal, storage, placing on the market and use of existing stocks.
