COMMISSION REGULATION(EU) 2026/1546
of 8 July 2026
amending Annexes II, III and V to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of
the Council as regards maximum residue levels for benomyl, carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl in
or on certain products
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 February 2005 on
maximum residue levels of pesticides in or on food and feed of plant and animal origin and amending Council
Directive 91/414/EEC(1), and in particular Article 14(1), point (a), Article 18(1), point (b), and Article 49(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) For the active substances carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl, maximum residue levels (‘MRLs’) were set in Annex II
and in Part B of Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
(2) The approval of the active substance carbendazim expired on 30 November 2014 and no application for its renewal
was submitted.
(3) The approval of the active substance thiophanate-methyl was not renewed by Commission Implementing Regulation
(EU) 2020/1498(2). An application for the renewal of its approval had been submitted in accordance with Article 1
of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012(3) within the set time period and assessed in
accordance with the procedure described by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the
Council(4). However, the applicant decided to withdraw the application. Nevertheless, based on the assessment of
that application, the European Food Safety Authority (‘the Authority’) published its conclusion on the peer review of
the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance thiophanate-methyl(5), which identified a number of critical
areas of concern and data gaps. In particular, the Authority concluded that, given the clastogenic potential of
thiophanate-methyl, toxicological reference values for consumers and operator risk assessment could not be derived.
Based on the dossier available on thiophanate-methyl, the Authority indicated that carbendazim might also have a
clastogenic potential.
(4) In its earlier reasoned opinion on the review of all existing MRLs for carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl in
accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005(6), the Authority noted that the two substances share a
common mode of action and have similar metabolic patterns. In view of the concerns about the potential
clastogenicity of carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl raised in the conclusions of the peer review, the Commission

OJ L, 9.7.2026
requested the Authority to provide a reasoned opinion under Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, assessing
the toxicological properties of carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl. In its reasoned opinion(7), the Authority
concluded that there is evidence indicating that carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl are aneugenic and proposed
toxicological reference values for both substances. The toxicological reference values were confirmed by the
Authority in two subsequent reasoned opinions(8)(9) and took into account the toxicological properties of the
substances.
(5) Carbendazim is classified in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the
Council(10)as mutagenic, category 1B and toxic for reproduction, category 1B(11), and the Authority concluded that
thiophanate-methyl meets the endocrine-disrupting criteria for the thyroid (T)-modality(12).
(6) In 2021(13), the Union submitted public health concerns with regards to the active substances carbendazim and
thiophanate-methyl to the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues. Consequently, carbendazim was scheduled for
periodic review by the Joint FAO/WHO meeting on pesticides residues (JMPR) in 2023. On 14 November 2025(14),
the Codex Alimentarius Commission revoked all Codex maximum residue limits (‘CXLs’) for the sum of
carbendazim, benomyl and thiophanate-methyl (expressed as carbendazim), as insufficient data had been submitted
to allow a re-evaluation of the toxicological properties of carbendazim, including the toxicological reference values
established in 1995 and 2005. Thus, CXLs no longer exist for carbendazim or for benomyl. For thiophanate-methyl
separately, there is only one CXL, for almonds, but the Union expressed a reservation based on the incompatibility of
the residue definition of thiophanate-methyl in almonds in the Union with the residue definition set by JMPR, and
that CXL was never implemented in the Union(15).
(7) Carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl are no longer approved for use in the Union and all authorisations for plant
protection products containing carbendazim or thiophanate-methyl have been revoked. MRLs based on import
tolerances are currently in place for those two substances in citrus fruits, in mangoes, papayas, and in okra/lady’s
fingers. Those import tolerances had been assessed by the Authority in the framework of the review of all MRLs for
carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl in accordance with Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005(16).

methyl and carbendazim according to Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005. EFSA Journal2014;12(12):3919.

OJ L, 9.7.2026
(8) However, the Good Agricultural Practices (‘GAPs’) supporting those import tolerances for carbendazim and
thiophanate-methyl on citrus fruits are no longer authorised(17). Under Article 14(2), point (e), of Regulation (EC)
No 396/2005, a MRL may be set based on a GAP implemented in a third country for the legal use of an active
substance in that country. Since the GAPs previously submitted for setting those MRLs based on import tolerances
are no longer authorised, there is no basis to maintain the MRLs based on import tolerances in citrus fruits. The
MRLs for carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl in citrus fruits should therefore be lowered to the limit of
determination (‘LOD’).
(9) Additionally, in its 2024 risk assessment(18), the Authority conducted a combined risk assessment for residues of
carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl considering that these substances have similar metabolic patterns, share the
same mode of action and may be used on the same crop. In this combined risk assessment, the Authority identified
unacceptable risks concerning the current MRLs for carbendazim in grapefruits, oranges, mangoes and papayas, and
for thiophanate-methyl in grapefruits, oranges, mandarins, mangoes and papayas. Since it cannot be excluded that
both substances may be used on the same crop, the MRLs based on import tolerances for carbendazim in
grapefruits, oranges, mangoes and papayas, and for thiophanate-methyl in grapefruits, oranges, mandarins, mangoes
and papayas should therefore be lowered to the LOD.
(10) With regards to okra/lady’s fingers, the Authority could not conduct a combined exposure assessment as only a GAP
for thiophanate-methyl had been submitted to the Union(19). In this regard, uncertainty remains as to whether both
substances may be applied on the same crop in practice, or whether they may be present together in a plant
protection product used in a third country. GAPs for both plant protection products containing carbendazim and
plant protection products containing thiophanate-methyl on okra/lady’s fingers, as well as GAPs for plant protection
products containing a mixture of both, are registered in some third countries(20). It is not possible to know how these
plant protection products are applied in practice in third countries. Therefore, to ensure a high level of consumer
protection, the Commission considers it appropriate to also lower the MRLs for both substances on okra/lady's
fingers to the LOD.
(11) In view of the above, all MRLs for carbendazim and thiophanate-methyl should be lowered to the relevant product-
specific LODs and listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005.
(12) In addition, in its reasoned opinions, the Authority proposed to modify the residue definitions for carbendazim,
which currently includes benomyl, and to set separate MRLs for both substances. It also proposed to change the
residue definitions for enforcement purposes for carbendazim in all products of animal origin from ‘carbendazim
and thiophanate-methyl, expressed as carbendazim’ to ‘sum of carbendazim and 5-hydroxy-carbendazim, expressed
as carbendazim’ and for thiophanate-methyl in all products of animal origin from ‘carbendazim and thiophanate-
methyl, expressed as carbendazim’ to ‘thiophanate-methyl’. The Commission, therefore, considers it appropriate to
establish these new residue definitions.
(13) Benomyl is not approved as an active substance in plant protection products under Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009
and was never assessed in the Union. It is classified as mutagenic and reprotoxic, category B, under Regulation (EC)
No 1272/2008(21).
(14) For benomyl, no EU toxicological reference values are available and the safety of MRLs for this substance could not be
assessed. As uses for benomyl are not authorised in the Union, and as no import tolerances or CXLs exist for this
substance, default MRL values should be listed in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, as provided for in
Article 18(1), point (b), of that Regulation.

(15) Through the World Trade Organisation, the trading partners of the Union were consulted on the new MRLs and their
comments have been taken into account.
(16) Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(17) For all active substances covered by this Regulation, in order to allow for normal marketing, processing and
consumption of products, this Regulation should provide for a transitional arrangement for products which have
been placed on the market in the Union before the modification of the MRLs and for which information shows that
a high level of consumer protection is maintained. Based on the opinion of the Authority(22), this applies to all
products except for carbendazim in grapefruits, oranges, papayas and mangoes, and for thiophanate-methyl in
grapefruits, oranges, mandarins, papayas and mangoes.
(18) A reasonable period should be allowed to elapse before the modified MRLs become applicable in order to permit
Member States, third countries and food business operators to prepare to meet the new requirements resulting from
the amendments.
