Japan Proposes the Revision of MRLs for 6 Agricultural ChemicalsReport Categories:Sanitary/Phytosanitary/Food Safety

Approved By: Christopher Riker

Prepared By: Tomohiro Kurai

 Report Highlights:On Friday, July 28, 2017, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) of the Government of Japan (GOJ) announced revisions to Japan’s Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) for the following pesticides and veterinary drugs:  Cyanazine, Flometoquin, Mandipropamid, Dinotefuran, Gamithromycin, and Tiamulin.  The Embassy comment period for these proposals is open until Monday, August 14, 2017.  MHLW will also notify these revised MRLs to the World Trade Organization, which will allow for another opportunity for interested parties to comment on these proposed changes. Keyword: JA7102, Japan, MRL

 

 General Information:

 <The manner of submitting comments>The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) will amend the existing standards and specifications for food as shown in this document. Please provide comments in writing by Monday, August 14, 2017. After the given date, comments should be directed to the enquiry point in accordance with the WTO/SPS Agreement.

With regard to agenda item 1, the SPS notification will be made for the setting or revision of the MRL for the agricultural and veterinary chemicals except for Gamithromycin and Flometoquin for which regulations will not be strengthened by this amendment.

If you wish to request Japan to adopt the same limits as your country’s MRLs, you are requested to submit data supporting your country’s MRLs, such as risk assessment and residue data.

Item 1. Establishment of the Maximum Residue Limits for Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals in Food

The Food Sanitation Act authorizes the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) to establish residue standards (maximum residue limits, “MRLs”) for pesticides, feed additives, and veterinary drugs (hereafter referred to as “agricultural and veterinary chemicals”) that may remain in foods. Any food for which standards are established pursuant to the provisions in Article 11, Paragraph 1 of the act is not permitted to be marketed in Japan unless it complies with the established standards.

On May 29, 2006, Japan introduced the Positive List System1 for agricultural and veterinary chemicals in food. All foods distributed in the Japanese marketplace are subject to regulation of the system.

The MHLW is going to modify or newly set MRLs in some commodities for the following substances:

Pesticides: Cyanazine, Flometoquin, Mandipropamid Pesticides and Veterinary drugs: Dinotefuran Veterinary drugs: Gamithromycin, Tiamulin

1 The aim of the positive list system is to prohibit the distribution of any foods which contain agricultural

chemicals at amounts exceeding a certain level (0.01 ppm) in the Japanese marketplace unless specific

maximum residue limits (MRLs) have been set.

Summary

Cyanazine (pesticide: herbicide): Permitted for use in Japan. The MHLW is going to establish MRLs in some commodities in response to a request for setting MRLs by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) with the intention to expand its use pattern. The MHLW is also going to modify MRLs in some commodities that were provisionally set at the introduction of the Positive List System.

Flometoquin (pesticide: insecticide): Not permitted for use in Japan. The MHLW is going to establish MRLs in some commodities in response to a request for setting MRLs by the MAFF with the intention to newly register this substance as a pesticide. This action will not strengthen the current regulation for any commodities.

Mandipropamid (pesticide: fungicide): Permitted for use in Japan. The MHLW is going to establish MRLs in some commodities in response to a request for setting MRLs by the MAFF with the intention to expand its use pattern. The MHLW is also going to establish MRLs in some commodities in response to a request for setting import tolerances based on the Guideline for Application for Establishment and Revision of Maximum Residue Limits for Agricultural Chemicals Used outside Japan (Shokuan No. 0205001, 5 February 2004).

Dinotefuran (Pesticide and Veterinary drug: insecticide): Permitted for use in Japan. The MHLW is going to establish MRLs in some commodities in response to a request for setting MRLs by the MAFF with the intention to expand its use pattern. The MHLW is also going to establish MRLs in some commodities in response to a request for setting import tolerances based on the Guideline for Application for Establishment and Revision of Maximum Residue Limits for Agricultural Chemicals Used outside Japan (Shokuan No. 0205001, 5 February 2004).

Gamithromycin (veterinary drug: antibiotic): Not permitted for use in Japan. The MAFF asked the minister of Health, Labour and Welfare for comments about application for manufacture and sales approval as a veterinary drug, and modification of the application of this substance, under the Act on Securing Quality, Efficacy and Safety of Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, Regenerative and Cellular Therapy Products, Gene Therapy Products, and Cosmetics. In response to this, the MHLW is going to establish MRLs in some commodities. This action will not strengthen the current regulation for any commodities.

Tiamulin (veterinary drug: antibiotic): Permitted for use in Japan. The MHLW is going to modify MRLs in some commodities that were provisionally set at the introduction of the Positive List System.
