Live Online

18 March 2025

Introduction

This half-day live online training event will focus on environmental exposure of surface waters via drainflow. It will present attendees with an overview of drainflow, and the associated environmental fate assessments required to meet regulatory requirements in GB and NI, along with ecotoxicological consideration of situations where levels of exceedance need further consideration at higher tier.  Key issues that applicants must consider when preparing active substance or product submissions will also be highlighted.

The event will comprise a mixture of presentations and live run throughs of models using worked examples covering active substances, metabolites, mixed active products, and conclude with an open question and answer session.

The training will be delivered by HSE regulatory specialists and will help attendees improve the quality of their submissions and understand how these will be reviewed by the GB regulator.

The course will cover:

• Introduction to drainflow
• Key endpoints - the EFSA conclusion and GB Competent Authority conclusion, data gaps and critical areas of concern
• First tier drainflow - step-by-step guide and worked examples
• Higher tier drainflow - step-by-step guide using MACRO 5 and worked examples
• Presentation of higher tier MACRO modelling results and introduction to ecotoxicology criteria
• Ecotoxicological consideration of situations where exceedances are being predicted at higher tier
• The use of the risk envelope approach
• Mixed active products
• Common problems with applications
