Spraying pesticides on your land illegal without licence after march 2015?

[starloc]

Sounds like tosh to me ... I certainly have Hydrogen Peroxide in my house - relatively high concentration too, used to sterilise bulbs and the like before planting.

It may sound like tosh but I assure you there are some very strange bans recently, I have 3 factories manufacturing chemicals around Europe and the UK and have regular contact with official bodies about changes in the law both for UK and Europe

The thing is many of these things are not made public, for example the ban on nitromethane.... the UKs largest seller of model engine fuels knew nothing of the ban of a lot of there products mid August as nobody had told them it was banned for supply from September and ownership for a member of the public from January 2015 ( i think )

Acetone banned for purchase unless a company from the 1st september, nitromethane banned in any product greater than 30% from the 1st september, peroxide greater than 12% banned 1st september

Even as a company we need to make declarations as to the use of acetone, everyone does but it says not for sale to the general public declaration forms need to be kept by the seller and purchaser for something like 10 years

Members of the general public to buy lots of chemicals have to buy a licence now , only costs about £40 every year but needs criminal background and financial background check and they can still turn you down for a secret reason

There are many other bits of law banning different things in different amounts, this is a bit of it

Check out the amended chemical weapons and explosive precurser regulations as well as the drug precurser regulations, they state somewhere what people have to do to prove they have a real reason to buy something

Other things baned under other bits of legislation, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, strong sodium hypochlorate ( bleach )
