USA EPA EST Registration
Introduction
In 1976, EPA issued a Federal Register Notice concerning the regulatory status of devices. In that notice, EPA also explained its interpretation of the distinction between a “pesticide” and a “device.” More information can be found on the EPA’s Pest Control Devices and Device Producers: 1976 Federal Register Notice webpage.
FIFRA defines a device as any instrument or contrivance (other than a firearm) that is intended for trapping, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest or any other form of plant or animal life (other than man and other than bacteria, virus, or other microorganism on or in living man or other living animals); but not including equipment used for the application of pesticides when sold separately therefrom. Refer to FIFRA section 2(h).
Pesticidal devices must be produced in an EPA registered pesticide-producing establishment. It is important to note that EPA establishment numbers, which are required for devices, are not the same as EPA pesticide registration numbers required for pesticide products. Obtaining an establishment number is an administrative process, completed upon request to the EPA. In contrast, obtaining an EPA pesticide registration requires a fee for review of product specific data and is a longer process.
