Pesticides and Toxic Chemicals Regulations 2004 (No. 8 of 2004).

These Regulations provide for the control of the manufacture, importation, handling, storage, placing on the market and use of pesticides and toxic chemicals. They require such hazardous substances to be classified and registered. The Regulations also concern pesticide residues. Pesticides are products used to combat pests (as defined in regulation 3).
A person shall not manufacture, import, advertise, store, transport, use, distribute or sell any pesticide product or toxic chemical that is not registered under the Pesticides and Toxic Chemicals Control Act 2000, except as provided in regulations 7 to 14. The Pesticides and Toxic Chemicals Control Board will consider and shall classify as it sees fit any pesticide or toxic chemical. The pesticide and toxic chemical contained in the First Schedule hereto has been classified as prohibited by the Board. A prohibited pesticide or toxic chemical is prohibited for importation, manufacture, distribution, use or sale in Guyana. A pesticide classified in accordance with the se Regulations as "restricted" (reg. 15) is permitted for usage only on certain stated crops, animals or feedstuffs.
The Board shall set maximum permissible concentrations for pesticide residues in foods and animal feed. Where a pesticide is proposed for use on food or feed crops, the applicant must determine whether pesticide residues including residues of any active ingredient, inert ingredient, metabolic or degradation product, are authorized by Maximum Residual Limits established under the Food and Drugs Act (1977) or the Plant Protection Act.
