New regulation on environmental remedial products in Brazil.

Normative Instruction 11 of October 17, 2022, replaces Normative Instruction 5, of May 17 2010.  This new regulation adjusts the registration obligation of remedial products, prior consent for importation, and authorization to carry out research and experimentation. These procedures are adopted by the Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources. 

The Instruction enters into force on November 1, 2022. The National Council for the Environment will update its classification (Resolution 464 of 2014) of environmental remedial products concerning their nature: chemical or physical-chemical remediators, bioremediators, phytoremediators, biostimulators, and physical process agents. Currently, the last three are exempt from registration. 

Failure to comply with the provisions of this Normative Instruction and other legal rules applicable to activities involving remedial products will subject violators to the sanctions provided for in Act 9,605/1998.
