Biostimulants legislation

Czech Republic has a very good website explaining how things work in terms of the placing on the market of biostimulants.

In a nutshell: biostimulants must be authorised before they can be placed on the Czech market, unless they are placed on the market under Mutual Recognition. The application is submitted with a form to be completed. The evaluation is done by CISTA. In case an application is submitted and no reponse received within 30 days, the authorisation can be considered to be granted (no response is positive response). In any case, CISTA (Central Institute for Supervising and Testing in Agriculture) carries out controls (label, composition, etc.).

Details on the authorisation procedure can be found on the CISTA website.
