Division Circumstances in which required

A laboratory test with Lemna species shall be performed for herbicides and plant growth regulators and for substances where there is evidence from information submitted under point 8.6 of Part A of this Annex or point 10.6 of Part A of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 284/2013 that the test substance has herbicidal activity. Additional testing may be required by the F1... competent authorities on other macrophyte species depending on the mode of action of the substance, or if clear indications of higher toxicity are apparent to dicotyledonous (for example auxin inhibitor, broad leaf herbicides) or other monocotyledonous (for example grass herbicides) plant species from efficacy or terrestrial non-target plants tests (see point 8.6 of Part A of this Annex and point 10.6 of Part A of the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 284/2013).

Additional aquatic macrophyte species tests may be undertaken on a dicotyledonous species, such as Myriophyllum spicatum, Myriophyllum aquaticum or a monocotyledonous species, such as aquatic grass Glyceria maxima, as appropriate. The need to perform such studies shall be discussed with the ... competent authorities.
