This is a reminder that businesses and other organisations working with plant protection products (PPPs) in Great Britain are required to register basic information about their activity with Defra under The Official Controls (Plant Protection Products) Regulations 2020.
Businesses and other organisations that use PPPs professionally in Great Britain, or have them applied by a third party, are legally required to register with Defra. The registration deadline for existing users was 22 June 2022, however it is still possible to register as a professional user of PPPs. If you started using PPPs professionally more than 3 months ago, you should have registered already and must do so as soon as possible. New users should register within 3 months of starting business. If you have already registered, you do not need to take any further action.
The form is available on GOV.UK. There is detailed guidance on who should register and how they can do this. Defra have also developed video guidance to help you fill in the form and send it to Defra.
