COP-12 decision SC-12/9 lists chlorpyrifos in Annex A with specific exemptions

At COP-12, Parties adopted decision SC-12/9 amending Annex A to add chlorpyrifos (CAS 2921-88-2). The decision establishes the Annex A listing entry and specifies that production/use is to be eliminated except where a Party has registered applicable specific exemptions in the Register. Compliance teams should evaluate whether chlorpyrifos is present in products, formulations, or supply chains and determine whether any activities rely on uses that would only be permissible under registered exemptions in implementing jurisdictions.
