  "definition": "1. Data showing that the pesticide is effective in controlling the pests for which control claims are made on the product label. Efficacy data are routinely required to be submitted to support products that control pests of public health significance, including but not limited to products to control pathogenic bacteria, viruses, mosquitoes, ticks, roaches, fleas, rats, and mice. Efficacy data requirements related to these types of pest control products are detailed at 40 CFR §158.640 (https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/CFR-2007-title40-vol23/CFR-2007-title40-vol23-sec158-640). Also, refer to the OPPTS Harmonized Test Guidelines, Series 810 (https://www.epa.gov/test-guidelines-pesticides-and-toxic-substances/series-810-product-performance-test-guidelines) and Antimicrobial Science Policies, Disinfectant Technical Science Section (DIS/TSS) documents (https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/efficacy-requirements-antimicrobial-pesticides). Although efficacy data (product performance data) are not routinely required to be submitted for most insecticide, fungicide, or herbicide products, the applicant or registrant must conduct efficacy tests on each of its products in order to ascertain through testing that the product performs in accordance with its labeling and use directions claims. Efficacy data may be required to be submitted on a case-by-case basis and must be kept in the applicant's or registrant's files.\n\n2.
