It was developed in accordance with the standards of the Biodynamic Federation Demeter International for the use of products in certified Biodynamic agriculture and the basic-admission criteria for the European Input List. The products in the BFDI Input list are conform to the International Demeter Biodynamic Standards 2020 with validity for the certification campaigns 2021. They are also evaluated with regard to the EU regulation No. 834/2007 and No. 889/2008, to the legal framework 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. "MAPA, 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. Please note, products on this list have been tested primarily for conformity with the BFDI Standard. This does not necessarily mean that they are compliant to all basic organic regu- lations such as the EU regulation or NOP. The usability of the products in the EU according to Reg. (EC) 834/2007 and No. 889/2008 or respective deviating national organic regulations can be verified on the website www.demeter.net/approved-inputs or https://www.input- list.com/search/search.html. 2 - Demeter Betriebsmittelliste 2021 The use of cleaning and disinfection agents in the processing of organic food and beverages is not covered by the EU Regulations nor by the BFDI Standard, which works mainly on the basis of recommendations. Recommended products for cleaning and disinfection in processing are attached to the BFDI Input list for certified Biodynamic agriculture. This serves as an orientation for all farmers, who also work in processing as well as processors. The Biodynamic Federation points out that the listing of a product on this list only confirms compliance with the current Standards, based on the information provided. Listing according to these criteria does not in any way imply the use of the trademarks administered by Demeter. Use of trademarks without a trademark usage contract with the appropriate certification organisation will be prosecuted as trademark infringement. The Biodynamic Federation Demeter International 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. 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. FiBL Projekte GmbH provides information about important changes that occur after the Input list for organic agriculture has been published on the website https://www.input-list.com/bml- info.html and, if applicable, via the newsletter. Released products after this list was published can be found at www.betriebsmittelliste.de/en. Here it is also possible to see whether and which products have been discontinued in the meantime. The Input list is published annually. It is valid until a new edition is published. The online search in English is available here: https://www.demeter.net/approved-inputs. Products that were evaluated after this list was published can also be found here.
