What is the PCP Act Registration Number?

• A. A unique identifier assigned to a pesticide product by regulatory authorities.
• B. The batch number assigned by the manufacturer.
• C. The expiry date of the product.
• D. The user license number.

Answer: (A)

The PCP Act Registration Number is the unique code assigned by the regulatory authority to a pesticide product's registration under the Pest Control Products Act. This number identifies that a specific product formulation has been evaluated and approved for the label claims, safety precautions, and usage directions, and it appears on the product label for traceability and regulatory compliance. It stays with the product as long as its registration remains valid, unlike a batch or lot number (which tracks production runs) or an expiry date (which indicates shelf life) or a user license number (which relates to who is licensed to apply pesticides).
