WHO and FAO are pleased to announce the publication of the second edition of the Manual on development and use of FAO and WHO specifications for chemical pesticides.  

This second edition of the manual takes into account points reported by the open and closed meetings of 2016 to 2020 and points suggested by JMPS members, CIPAC and industry. Furthermore, the former Section 9 was removed and, after major revision and amendment, will be available as a dedicated manual for the development and use of FAO and WHO specifications for microbial pesticides (FAO and WHO, forthcoming).

The revised manual can be accessed here: Manual and Amendments
