HML – Reporting Templates

These templates can help you comply with requirements on HML in the generic standards (SPO 3.2.15 & 3.2.17); CP ( A 3.2.7 & B 3.1.10); HL
(4.2.12 & 4.2.15) and Trader Standard (3.2.2 & 3.2.3). These requirements pertain to making a list of materials used for pest/diseases/weed
control and development of a reduction/phase out plan, in case a material from the Orange List is used.

It is not necessary that you use this template in order to comply with the requirements, but it can help you to have a starting point, guide you
through the process and provide you with ideas.

LIST OF MATERIAL USED

Table 1 is for list materials used on Fairtrade products for pest/disease/weed control. The list must be updated, when new materials are used.
The list must have the name of the active ingredients, commercial name, crop/product on which the pesticides are used and the targeted pests.
You must indicate which of those materials are in the Fairtrade International Hazardous Materials List (HML), part 1, Red List; Part 2, Orange
List and part 3 Yellow List. You can also include other details like formulation, dose or concentration used, amount used etc. The commercial
names, the name of the active ingredient, the formulation are all available on the package of the material. Some examples have been given in
the table 1

PHASE OUT/REDUCTION PLAN

Table 2 is a template for the reduction plan, which should be developed in case a material in the Orange list is used on the Fairtrade product.
The plan must include information on the type of material (technical name/active ingredient (a.i.), formulation (% of a.i.), commercial name), the
quantity used (spray concentration (a.i. /ha or in % or ppm etc.) and total consumed a.i./ha/year), actions taken for reducing/phasing out the
material including details of other non-chemical controls which are part of the IPM strategy. The plan is implemented and made available to the
certification body. For materials which need to be phased out by 2019, there should be clear date for phasing out. The commercial names, the
name of the active ingredient, the formulation are all available on the package of the material. Some examples have been given in the table 2
