EU approval record for one pesticide (plant-protection) active substance from the European Commission EU Pesticides Database: approval status (Approved / Not approved / Pending), an explicit approval_state that flags an Approved entry whose expiry date has already passed, first-approval date, expiry date, the governing Commission regulations and directives (links to EUR-Lex; this is how to see whether and under which implementing regulation an approval was renewed or extended), rapporteur member state, candidate-for-substitution and low-risk flags, ADI / ARfD / AOEL reference values, CLP classification, national authorisations and MRL residue definitions. Look up by name (exact, then partial), CAS number or substance id. Returns data_as_of with every answer. Keyless.
