The use, supply, storage and advertisement of pesticides is regulated by a number of pieces of legislation including, for Great Britain, the Control of Pesticides Regulations (COPR) and Plant Protection Products Regulations (PPPR). PSD is responsible for agricultural pesticides, most non-agricultural pesticides are the responsibility of Health and Safety Executive (HSE). PPPR is the newer legislation and implements a European Directive (91/414/EEC) which regulates ‘Plant Protection Products’, these include agricultural pesticides and growth regulators.

The use of pesticides is also regulated by COSHH (the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health).
