List of chemicals subject to the international PIC procedure The following chemicals have been introduced in the PIC procedure following control actions reported by participating countries. For Group I reported control actions refer to pesticide use (as defined by the FAO/UNEP). For Group II, reported control actions refer to industrial use. Decisions Guidance Documents (DGDs) have been prepared by UNEP/FAO (IRPTC) to help countries to make import decisions concerning those chemicals. Nevertheless, DGD is not the only information taken into account by countries when they take their import decision. Therefore, the import decision does not necessarily refer to the uses mentioned in the DGD. Since the update of PIC Circular VI and PIC Circular VII were distributed, the following new substances were introduced to the PIC procedure: Captafol, Chlorobenzilate, Hexachlorobenzene, Lindane, Methami- dophos, Methyl Parathion, Monocrotophos, Parathion, Phosphamidon, Pentachlorophenol and 2,4,5-T.
