The guidance is intended to be a practical, hands-on tool to assist government inspectors in preparing, conducting, recording, reporting and following-up on inspections of pesticide producers, importers, distributors and retailers. The guidance:

•     reviews the legal and regulatory framework for inspection;
•     provides advice on the management and coordination of inspections;
•     presents an approach to designing an inspection scheme; and
•     provides checklists of the materials to be collected and the procedures to be followed before, during and after inspections at various sites.
