In compliance with the criteria defined by the European regulations, ANSES has been in charge of the appraisal of plant protection products, fertilisers and growing media, and adjuvants since 2006. Based on our scientific assessment of the risks and efficacy of these products, the Ministry of Agriculture issues marketing authorisations (MAs). Since 1 July 2015, in application of the French law on the future of agriculture, food and forestry of 13 October 2014, ANSES is in charge of issuing, withdrawing and amending MAs and permits for plant protection products, fertilisers and growing media, and adjuvants.

ANSES assesses fertilisers, their adjuvants and growing media before they can be placed on the market. Based on the findings of the assessment, the Agency approves them or not. The assessment is based on examination by the Regulated Products Assessment Department (DEPR) of the marketing authorisation approval application filed with ANSES, in compliance with the provisions of the French Rural and Maritime Fishing Code and based on recommendations proposed in the 'Information memo for applicants regarding approval of fertilisers and growing media'.
Below, a presentation of the contents of the marketing authorisation approval application and the methods for assessing these products.
