BVN PESTICIDES LTD. LABORATORY SERVICES
The Laboratory received its operating licence for the provision of services on 26 April 2019 (NÉBIH [National Food Chain Safety Office] registration number: HE/ÉBÁO/25-67/2019). We provide services in three main areas:
I. Laboratory testing to determine the data to be submitted for the licensing of products with plant protection effects that do not qualify as plant protection products, protective substances, synergists, excipients, adjuvants, equipment and materials used in plant protection, and macro-organisms (Annex 9 to Decree 89/2004 of 15 May of the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development). The laboratory measures the physical, chemical, and technical parameters of these products. These include the following:
