What is the PCP Act Registration Number used for?

Explanation:
The registration number shows that the pesticide has been evaluated and authorized under federal regulation to be sold and used in Canada, confirming it meets safety, efficacy, and labeling requirements. In Canada, the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) reviews data on a product’s risks and benefits and assigns a registration number once it approves the product for specific uses. That number appears on the label and helps inspectors and users verify that the product is legally registered for the described uses and that all label directions are applicable. It is not about price, brand logo, or shelf life—the latter details come from the product label or formulation data, not the registration number.
