How can I tell if a particular product is exempted from registration by the U.S. EPA?
Look at the product label for a U.S. EPA or a California registration number. If the label does not have a registration number, then the product may be exempt. (Note: very few products are exempt from registration). In the absence of a registration number, a proper label will list all active and inert ingredients. To ensure you have an exempt product, check to see if all active and inert ingredients are listed on the FIFRA section 25(b) list and the U.S. EPA 4a list, respectively. (See www.cdpr.ca.gov/schoolipm/ and click on “Pesticides Exempted Under the Healthy Schools Act” for the lists of exempt active and inert ingredients.
