Subpart A [Reserved]







    This subpart prescribes requirements for child-resistant packaging 

of pesticide products and devices. The requirements are established 

under the authority of FIFRA section 25(a)(1), which authorizes the 

Administrator to issue regulations to carry out the purposes of the Act, 

and FIFRA section 25(c)(3), which authorizes the Administrator to 

establish standards with respect to the package, container or wrapping 

in which a pesticide or device is enclosed in order to protect children 

and adults from serious injury or illness resulting from accidental 

ingestion or contact with pesticides or devices regulated under the Act.
