The Agricultural Chemicals Regulation Law of Japan was established in 1948 and the manufacture, importation, circulation and use of pesticides have been severely restricted by this Law (enforced by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries). For the registration of pesticides, the safety assessment to human beings, i.e., toxicity such as acute, chronic and the carcinogenicity, and to the organisms in environment is necessary. Establishment of maximum residue limits for pesticide in agricultural products is administered according to the stipulations of the Food Sanitation Law (enforced by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare). In recent years, importation and use of unregistered pesticides in Japan have increased people's anxiety, hi order to cope with this evolving situation, the Agricultural Chemicals Regulation Law was amended and enacted on March 10, 2003. The current amendment extends its scope of application to the persons who manufacture, process or import pesticides to distribute for non-business purposes and tightens the restrictions on the users of pesticides.
