This registration ensures that the products comply with the <strong>safety and efficacy<\/strong> requirements established by the legislation in force.<\/p>\n<p>As in other European countries, <strong>in Spain it is compulsory to register any phytosanitary product<\/strong>, whether it is an active substance of chemical synthesis or of natural origin.

In Spain, the competent authority for the registration of plant protection products is the <strong>Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food<\/strong> (<strong>MAPA<\/strong>, in Spanish), through the General Directorate of Agricultural Production Health; however, there are also other institutions involved in the process such as the Ministries of Health and Environment, or the INIA-CSIC (Spanish National Research Council).<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-22315 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/kaeltia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/registro-fitosanitario-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"513\" height=\"287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kaeltia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/registro-fitosanitario-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kaeltia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/registro-fitosanitario-768x430.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kaeltia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/registro-fitosanitario-770x431.jpg 770w, https:\/\/kaeltia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/registro-fitosanitario.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 513px) 100vw, 513px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_a_plant_protection_product_registered\"><\/span><strong>How is a plant protection product registered?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to register a plant protection product, the applicant must <strong>submit a formal application to MAPA<\/strong> accompanied by a complete dossier with all required studies and data, including detailed information on the composition of the product, <strong>toxicology<\/strong>, operation way, <strong>biological efficacy <\/strong>and safety profile.<\/p>\n<p>The evaluation process can be long and complex, since it involves a<strong> thorough review by INIA-CSIC<\/strong> of the data submitted and, in some cases, <strong>additional studies if requested<\/strong> by authorities. However, the registration of a phytosanitary product is necessary to <strong>legalise <\/strong>it in the country of destination, as well as in third countries that are part of the OECD. Once the evaluation has been passed, the product is entered in the <strong>Official Register of Plant Protection Products<\/strong> and is granted a <strong>marketing authorisation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In order to facilitate the procedures for applications to the Register of Plant Protection Products, there is also the option of using the<strong> online platform FITOCERES<\/strong>, which use is voluntary but can help to ensure that the products to be registered comply with all regulations.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_is_the_product_registration_valid\"><\/span><strong>How long is the product registration valid?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The validity of the <strong>registration of a plant protection product<\/strong> is limited and depends on several factors. In any case, authorisation is granted for a <strong>maximum period of 10 years<\/strong>, although this may vary depending on risk assessments and the appearance of <strong>new data or new scientific studies<\/strong>. Before the end of this period, in order to continue marketing the product, it is necessary to <strong>apply for renewal of the registration<\/strong> by submitting new documents and data demonstrating that it continues to meet the safety and efficacy standards. To do so, it is necessary to wait until the active substance (s) contained in the product has\/have been renewed. However,it is common for the renewal of plant protection active substances to be postponed, and the validity of the product registration to be extended.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_importance_of_RETO_in_phytosanitary_products\"><\/span><strong>The importance of RETO in phytosanitary products<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to maintain greater control over phytosanitary products, the MAPA has created <strong>RETO <\/strong>(Electronic Register of Transactions and Operations with Phytosanitary Products, or <em>Registro Electr\u00f3nico de Transacciones y Operaciones con Productos Fitosanitarios <\/em>in Spanish). This is<strong> a computer app that registers online all transactions of these products<\/strong>.
