It was developed in accordance with the standards of Demeter-International for the use of products in certified Biodynamic agriculture. The products in the Demeter-International Input list are conform to Demeter-International Standards 2019, the EU-Eco-regulation No. 834/2007 and No. 889/2008, to the legal frame- work of the EU and to German regulations for various inputs (e.g. fertilizers, plant protection agents, feedstuff), regarding companies, that are distributing their products in Germany. The conformity to legislations in countries, other than Germany, is only evaluated regarding the plant protection products (ppp). Whenever a plant protection product is approved in Germany, the according approval number is given without further mentioning of the country. When a product is approved in another country, the number, relevant authority and country is given, e.g. "MAPAMA, Spain". In countries other than Germany, users of ppp have the responsibility to clarify either with the producers or with the respective national authorities if a specific product is conform to all relevant national legislations and if it can be used legally. This also applies to products of other categories. The use of cleaning and disinfection agents in the processing of organic food and beverages is not covered by the EU Regulations. Therefore, the special FiBL criteria for such products and the standards by Demeter-International for processing are the only basis for the evalua- tion. Suitable products for cleaning and disinfection in processing are attached to the Demeter- International Input list for certified Biodynamic agriculture. This serves as an orientation for all farmers, who also work in processing. Demeter-International e.V. disclaims liability in connection with the use in practice of the listed products. Reproduction and extract copies are only allowed with a written permission from the publisher, issued upon request. The Input list does not claim to be complete. Products, not listed in the Input list can only be used after consulting the respective national Demeter Organisation or the International Certi- fication Office (ICO) of Demeter-International. Users and operators are generally responsible for the use of any inputs.The listing of products in the current Input list is no recommendation for their use. The effectivity of the products, e.g. of plant protection agents or fertilizers, has not been evaluated and is no criteria for the listing. 2 The Input list is published annually. It is valid until a new edition is published. The Input list is written in English and contains all products meeting the standards of Demeter- International. The online search in English is available here: www.demeter.net/approved-inputs. Products that were evaluated after this list was published can also be found here.
