Neonicotinoids chemical review

Neonicotinoid (acetamiprid, clothianidin, dinotefuran, imidacloprid, thiacloprid, thiamethoxam) active constituents, product registrations and label approvals were nominated for review following identification of new environmental risks in 2019. As a result of the limited use pattern (in companion animals) and formulation (as oral tablets), the registered products and approved active constituent containing nitenpyram are considered to be outside the scope of this review.

The scope of the review includes reconsideration of neonicotinoid active constituents, chemical products and labels through assessments related to environment and worker safety.

The review scope document is available in the publication archive tab.

The work plan was first published on 19 November 2019.

The s 32 notice of reconsideration for active constituents, chemical products and labels for neonicotinoids was published in the Gazette on 19 November 2019.

The s 32 notice of reconsideration was given to holders and chemical coordinators of the states and territories upon commencement of the review on 19 November 2019.
