Agricultural Input Authorisations
What is authorised, where, and under which decision — never how to apply it.
Three things are kept apart here because the law keeps them apart. An active substance is approved (or not) by the European Union. A product containing it is authorised (or not) by a national authority. An authorisation is one such decision, in one place, at one time.
So an approved substance may have no authorised product in a country, and a product may be withdrawn while its substance stays approved. Nothing here carries a single “approved” flag, because such a flag would have to pick one jurisdiction and one legal object and would be wrong about both everywhere else.

What each decision means
| Status | Records | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| authorized | 22,542 | Currently authorised by the register. |
| restricted | 19 | Recorded by the register without a decision this layer can classify. |
| not-approved | 979 | Approval refused, or never granted. This is not the same as withdrawn. |
| withdrawn | 18,617 | Authorised once, then revoked or surrendered. The withdrawal date is recorded. |
| pending | 83 | Applied for and not decided. Not an authorisation. |
| uncertain | 1,351 | Recorded by the register without a decision this layer can classify. |
Approval of an active substance is not authorisation of any product containing it, and a product authorised in one country is not authorised in another. The two decisions are made by different authorities under different law.
Registers covered
Each register is a separate decision-maker under separate law. Nothing is combined across them: an authorisation in one country is never evidence of authorisation in another, however similar the product.
| Jurisdiction | Records | What the register decides |

European Commission — EU Pesticides Database, active substances
Status is the database’s own approval state for the ACTIVE SUBSTANCE across the European Union. It says nothing about whether any commercial product containing that substance is authorised in any Member State — that is a separate decision by a national authority.

ANSES — E-Phy, catalogue of plant protection products, fertilising materials and growing media, adjuvants, mixed products and mixtures (open data)
Product status is the authorisation state E-Phy publishes for that AMM number in France. Substance status is E-Phy’s inscription state for the active substance in France, which is a different decision from the EU approval of the same substance.

Health Canada, Pest Management Regulatory Agency — Pesticide Product Information Database (public registry extract)
Status is PMRA’s own registration status for that registration number in Canada. It is a Canadian decision and says nothing about any other country, and nothing about whether the active ingredients are approved anywhere else.

Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority — PUBCRIS public chemical registration dataset
Status is APVMA’s own registration code for that product at the dataset release date. An APVMA registration is an Australian decision and is not evidence of registration in New Zealand or anywhere else.

What this layer does not publish
Doses, application rates, treatment intervals, buffer distances and mixing instructions are published by these registers and are deliberately not ingested. Active substance concentrations are not ingested either. A rate detached from its label, crop stage and local conditions is a hazard, not information.
