Notification of Committee on Label-controlled products - Thailand

The Hazardous Substance Act B.E. 2535 was issued in 1992 and is the most important chemical control law in Thailand. The purpose of this Act is to regulate the importation, production, marketing, and possession of all hazardous chemicals (including industrial chemicals, pesticides and biocides) used in Thailand. The Department of Agriculture (DOA) takes responsibility for the control of fertilizer products for manufacturing, sale, importation, exportation, and transit.  

In Thailand, adjuvants and soil amendments do not require registration as these are not classified as fertilizers or as hazardous substances according to the Hazardous Substance Act. Adjuvants and Soil amendments are currently regulated under the Consumer Protection Act B.E. 2522 and amendment (No. 2) B.E. 2541.  

The Consumer Protection Act prescribes the requirements of adjuvant and soil amendment products. In order to protect consumer rights, it is important to designate adjuvants and soil amendments as label-controlled products. Thus, it is important to have appropriate elements and information on the product label as provided by the Notification. This Notification shall come into force after completion of four months from the date of its publication in the Government Gazette.
