Simple terms explainer
Local authorities must ensure that only fertilisers which have been properly assessed, are safe for use, and comply with all relevant legal requirements can be placed on the market. This includes enforcing the post‑Brexit regulatory system for fertilisers, checking that products meet GB standards, carry the correct conformity markings and labelling, and taking action where non‑compliant or unsafe fertilisers are supplied or sold.
