Since Amazon was heavily penalized by the U.S. EPA, Amazon has increased its regulation of unlabeled and unregistered pesticide product transactions. Pesticide-related products (such as disinfectants, disinfection equipment, etc.) that are not registered with EPA certification will be removed from the shelves until they are registered and compliant before they can continue to be sold.

1 What is EPA?

EPA The Environmental Protection Agency of the United States Environmental Protection Agency is a functional department of the United States government, mainly responsible for environmental protection, including the protection of air quality, water, soil, animals and plants. The U.S. EPA enforces its law under Title 40 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR).

As people use more and more insecticidal, antibacterial, pesticide and other products in their daily life and production, these active agents and devices will inevitably have a certain impact on the environment (including water, soil, animals and plants, etc.). In order to facilitate better management of bactericidal, antibacterial and insecticide products, the U.S. EPA has enacted the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Products regulated by the Act include devices (which work by physical principles) and active agents (various chemical components). Disinfectant water and disinfectant for the surface of objects are among them.

2. Which products need to be compliant?
1, active agent: insect repellent, antibacterial agent, bactericide, insect attractant, disinfectant, disinfectant, nematicide, fumigant, herbicide, defoliant, desiccant, antifouling agent, insecticide, plant growth regulator, rodenticide, algaecide, algaecide, molluscicide, water purification agent containing active ingredients of insecticide, sterilization, antibacterial chemicals.

The above product compliance cycle is long and the cost is huge.

2. Pesticide equipment: instruments or equipment used to prevent, destroy, repel or reduce any harmful organisms by physical means or written with any antibacterial, antifungal, antibacterial or insecticidal. Common pesticide equipment includes: ultraviolet lamp, mosquito repellent sounder, insect trap, ground vibration equipment, water purification equipment, air purification equipment, etc. It should be noted that if the equipment contains pesticide-effective substances or mixtures, the whole product is a pesticide product, such as washing machine containing silver ions, microwave pest killer containing substances that can attract pests, etc. These products need to complete the compliance obligations of pesticide products, not just pesticide equipment.

Pesticide equipment compliance cycle is short, less cost.
