'
162 pirimiphos-methylCAS No 29232-93-7CIPAC No 239 O-2-diethylamino-6-methylpyrimidin-4-ylO,O- dimethylphosphorothioate ≥ 880 g/kg 1 October 2007 30 September 2017 
PART A Only uses as insecticide for post harvest storage can be authorised.
Hand-held applications shall not be authorised.

PART B In assessing applications to authorise plant protection products containing pirimiphos-methyl for uses other than applications with automated systems in empty cereals storehouses, Member States shall pay particular attention to the criteria in Article 4(1)(b), and shall ensure that any necessary data and information is provided before such an authorisation is granted.
For the implementation of the uniform principles of Annex VI, the conclusions of the review report on pirimiphos-methyl, and in particular Appendices I and II thereof, as finalised in the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health on 16 March 2007 shall be taken into account.
In this overall assessment Member States must pay particular attention to:

— the operators safety. Authorised conditions of use must prescribe the application of adequate personal protective equipment including respiratory protective equipment and risk mitigation measures to reduce the exposure,
— the dietary exposure of consumers in view of future revisions of Maximum Residue Levels.
