Agrochemicals accepted by the BBPA (British Beer and Pub Association) and BRI (Brewing Research International) for use on cereals for malting and brewing
The purpose of the BBPA/BRI List
The BRI and BBPA aim to test agrochemicals which, because of their chemical nature or timing of application to barley could potentially either affect the malting, brewing or fermentation processes, or cause undesirable off-flavours in the finished beer. In the EU, Council Directive 93/71/EEC (Annex III) requires the effects of pesticides on transformation processes to be taken into account and requires an evaluation of the possible adverse effects on transformation processes, such as brewing and malting, or on the quality of their products. For a chemical to be included on the list of accepted agrochemicals, BRI will carry out an initial assessment of factors, including chemical nature, mode of action, time of application and available test data. Following this initial assessment, BRI will conduct any additional malting or brewing trials necessary to come to a decision. These further trials do not replace or duplicate the toxicological or efficacy testing required by the Chemicals Regulation Directorate (CRD) before the chemical can be registered, but are designed to test the suitability of treated crops for processing specifically within the malting and brewing industry. This document is issued in the UK by the BBPA as a Technical Circular and is a comprehensive list of active ingredients registered in the UK for barley. Users outside the UK will need to check whether listed chemicals are approved for use in their own countries. Products are withdrawn from the list if they are no longer registered in the UK by the CRD, even though they do not cause problems in terms of processing. Listed agrochemicals are classed as ACCEPTED for use on malting barley for brewing, NOT ACCEPTED or NOT TESTED OR ACCEPTED. Agrochemicals accepted for barley are also accepted for wheat for malting and brewing, provided that they are registered for that use by the CRD. Note that a few pesticides registered for use on wheat are not registered for barley; these have not been evaluated for potential effects in malting or brewing and are therefore not included in this list. The list is not exhaustive with regard to Product Names; products which are not listed are accepted if they contain the same active ingredient, and are used at the same growth period and dose as products which are listed. Full product listings are available on the CRD website: https://secure.pesticides.gov.uk/pestreg/ProdSearch.asp Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs). These are as given in EU legislation. A MRL is the maximum concentration of a pesticide residue (expressed as mg/kg), permitted in or on food commodities and animal feeds. MRLs are primarily a check that Good Agricultural Practice is being followed and are intended to assist international trade in produce treated with pesticides. MRLs are not safety limits. MRLs are established using toxicological and dietary exposure evidence concerning the safety to humans of the resulting residues and this means that MRLs represent residue levels which are toxicologically acceptable. They are generally well below safety limits, thus exposure to residues in excess of an MRL does not automatically imply a hazard to health.
