Test Guidelines
OPPTS Harmonized
Test Guidelines - The OPPTS harmonized guidelines have been developed
for use in the testing of pesticides and toxic substances and the development
of test data that must be submitted to the Agency for review under federal
regulations. The purpose for harmonizing these guidelines into a single
set of OPPTS guidelines is to minimize variations among the testing procedures
that must be performed to meet the data requirements under the Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA) (15 U.S.C. 2601) and the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide,
and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136 et seq.).
Information about the specific scientific studies required for pesticide
registration is located in 40
CFR 158 
. A fact sheet summarizing these data
requirements also is available.
