The Pesticide Product Label System is a collection of images, in
multi-page TIFF format, of pesticide labels which have been approved
by the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) under Section 3 of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act. The collection contains
the initially approved label for pesticide products registered under
FIFRA Section
3
as well as subsequent versions of labels which have changed via
amendment or notification.
In addition to the stamped approved labels this collection contains
any associated correspondence about the terms of registration, specifying
any changes which the registrant was required to make in the final printed
label. Because some label amendments address only portions of the label,
you may have to review several labels for a single product to determine
the complete terms of registration.
The collection does not identify those products which have been subsequently
canceled or transferred, but rather identifies each pesticide label
as it appeared at the time that it was approved. In additon, please
review Limitations
of the Pesticide Product Label System.
The label images are indexed by EPA registration number and the date
on which the label was initially registered or amended. If you do not
know the registration number, you can search all federally registered
products by active ingredient, product name, or company name, in EPA's
Pesticide Product Information System, which you can access on the
California Department of Pesticide Regulation website at
California Department of Pesticide Regulation (CDPR)
NOTE! We are making available, with each label updates posting,
a database which contains a dump of the PPLS index. The database
(pestlabl.dbf)
has the following record format: COMPANY_NR (N6), PRODUCT_NR (N5),
LABEL_DT (N8 - formatted as YYYYMMDD) and IMAGE_ID (N6). The IMAGE_ID
for each label image is assigned at the time of posting (ascending
numerical sequence). (updated November 8th, 2004)
