Peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the
active substance pydiflumetofen

The conclusions of EFSA following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out
by the competent authority of the rapporteur Member State France and co-rapporteur
Member State Austria for the pesticide active substance pydiflumetofen and the
assessment of applications for maximum residue levels (MRLs) are reported. The context
of the peer review was that required by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European
Parliament and of the Council. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the
evaluation of the representative uses of pydiflumetofen as a fungicide field application on
pome fruits, grapes, potato, fruiting vegetables, cucurbits and Brassica vegetables. The
reliable endpoints, appropriate for use in regulatory risk assessment and the proposed
MRLs, are presented. Missing information identified as being required by the regulatory
framework is listed. Concerns are identified.
