You can access the Products Tab by clicking Products in the Tab bar near the top of the screen, or by clicking View All in the
My Products tile on the Dashboard.
On the Products Tab you will see:
1) The search bar. You can search the list by Product Name, Registration/Admin Number, Use Type, Signal Word, or
Pesticide Type. As you type, the list will filter the results.
2) The page navigation section where you can adjust the number of products that appear on the page and navigate through
the pages.
3) The products table. There are 9 fields in the table:
• Product Name
• Registration Number – Product’s EPA registration number.
• 
Use Type – The options are “EP” (end-use product) or “MP” (manufacturing use product)
• 
Restricted Use – A checkmark indicates whether the product is a Restricted Use pesticide. An empty checkbox
indicates that it is not an RUP.
• 
Signal Word – The options are Danger, Warning, Caution, or None. These correspond to the product’s toxicity category.
• 
Pesticide Type – The options include conventional pesticide, antimicrobial pesticide, and biopesticide. These options
can help you determine the PRIA 5 product type, though they do not correspond exactly.
• 
Bilingual Labeling Added – A check indicates the product has bilingual labeling. An empty checkbox indicates a
product does not have bilingual labeling.
• 
Not To Be Released For Shipment – A check indicates the product is not going to be released for shipment. An empty
checkbox indicates a product may be released for shipment.
• 
Spanish Labeling URL – Users can optionally paste in a URL where the bilingual labeling is stored.
Clicking any column header once will organize the table in ascending order based on that column. Clicking the same column
again will sort the table in descending order based on that column.
For example, clicking the Product Name column once will sort the table by product name from A to Z. Clicking Product Name
again will sort the table by product name from Z to A.
For columns with a checkbox, clicking once will sort the table with empty checkboxes at the top. Clicking a second time will
put checked checkboxes at the top.

How to Certify PRIA 5 Bilingual Labeling Compliance
Background
The Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2022 (PRIA 5) requires that each registered enduse pesticide product released for shipment include Spanish language translations for parts of the
labeling contained in EPA’s Spanish Translation Guide for Pesticide Labeling.
Translations may be included either on the pesticide product container itself or through a link to
such translation via scannable technology or other electronic methods readily accessible on the
product label. Antimicrobial pesticide products and non-agricultural/non-restricted use pesticide
products may instead provide a link to bilingual safety data sheets (SDS).
There is rolling schedule for the implementation of bilingual labeling requirements, from December
2025 to 2030. That schedule is found in the table below.
Please see https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-labels/bilingual-labeling for more information on PRIA 5
bilingual labeling requirements.

Should I report compliance with PRIA 5 bilingual labeling
requirements?
Do report compliance if…

• You have any products that are currently required to include bilingual labeling. (Note: this
includes both end-use products and products with a special local needs designation.)

• You have any products that would currently be required to include bilingual labeling, but you
are not releasing them for shipment at this time.

Do not report compliance if…
•
None of your products are end-use products or have a special local needs designation (i.e., all
are manufacturing use products or experimental use permits).
• 
None of your end-use products/special local needs permits are currently required to include
bilingual labeling.
If none of your products are end-use products/special local needs permits (i.e., all are
manufacturing use products or experimental use permits) or none are currently required to include
bilingual labeling, DO NOT check boxes or certify responses in MyPeST.

Product types are defined as follows:

Product Type

Definition

Restricted use
pesticides

Products classified as “restricted use” under 40 CFR 152.160; they have a
“restricted use” statement on the front panel.

Agricultural
products

Products that include an “Agricultural Use Requirements” statement on
the label. Dual use products are subject to agricultural product deadlines.
Animal products are not considered agricultural products.

Antimicrobial
products

An antimicrobial pesticide is intended to disinfect, sanitize, reduce, or
mitigate growth or development of microbiological organisms or protect
inanimate objects, industrial processes or systems, surfaces, water, or
other chemical substances from contamination, fouling, or deterioration
caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, algae, or slime. Wood
preservatives and anti-foulants are classified as antimicrobial pesticides if
the products have antimicrobial claims.

All other pesticide
products

Agricultural, antimicrobial, and non-agricultural pesticide products
classified as acute toxicity categories III and IV.

MyPeST User Guide | How to Certify PRIA 5 Bilingual Labeling Compliance

How do I report compliance with bilingual labeling
requirements?
For each pesticide product, check the product’s type and acute toxicity category to determine its
compliance date. (Some information is available in MyPeST to assist you, but you should verify
product information using the product label.)
Then, determine whether the product label includes bilingual labeling by any of the methods
permissible under PRIA 5 (e.g., translated text on the container; URL or QR code to the translated
text; or translated SDS where applicable).
If a product has reached its compliance date but does not contain the required bilingual labeling,
check whether the product has been released for shipment.
Note: Please report all products to which you have added bilingual labeling, even if they are
not required to include bilingual labeling at this time (e.g., products that have not reached
their compliance dates yet). EPA wishes to acknowledge registrants who have gone above and
beyond the statutory requirements.

How Do I Certify That Bilingual Labeling Was Added Or That A Product Is Not
To Be Released For Shipment?
1) First, you will select all products you want to certify as having
bilingual labeling.
2) Go to the “My Products” tab. Find the product or products you want
to certify.
If you are looking for a specific product, using the Search bar is the
most efficient method.
To select products using the page navigation features, begin by
setting the number of items per page. You can show 5, 10, 25, 50,
75, or 100 products.

Items per page selector

Clicking the Select All checkbox will select all the products displayed
on that page, not all products registered to an organization. For
example, if a company has 50 products and is showing 10 items per
page, clicking Select All on page 1 will only select those 10 products;
the other 40 products are not selected.
To choose specific products, you can click the checkbox next to each
product to select it and click it again to deselect it. If your company
has multiple pages of products, you can select specific products (or
click Select All) on page one, click the Next Page button, and click
specific products (or Select All) on page two, and repeat the process
on each page until you have made all your selections.

 4) Clicking a check box will make the
Edit button active. Once you have
finished clicking the check boxes next
to all products to which you have added
bilingual labeling, click Edit. This will
bring up the Certify Bilingual Label Status
popup.

3. The list of products you selected that
the certification will be applied to.
4. Submit and Cancel buttons to confirm
your choice.
5) To certify products as having bilingual
labeling added, select the Bilingual
Labeling Added bubble and click Submit.
This will bring up the Certify Bilingual
Labeling Compliance popup.

6) Click Yes to confirm that you have added
bilingual labeling, or click the X to return to
the Products Table to make changes.
7) If you click Yes, you will be returned to the
Products Tab. You will now see checkmarks
for your selected products in the Bilingual
Labeling Added column.

and the toast message confirming that the product records have been updated.

A green toast message will be displayed
at the top of the page for a few seconds,
indicating that your certification has been
recorded by the EPA.
Note: There is no “Save” button in MyPeST.
However, the checkmarks will save when
you accept the certification statements, so
you do not have to complete the report in
one sitting.

 8) Next, certify any products that would be
required to include bilingual labeling if
shipped, but which you are not releasing
for shipment.
Note: Only report whether a product
as “Not To Be Released for Shipment”
if that is the basis for not including
bilingual labeling. Otherwise, leave those
checkboxes blank.
9) To certify products as “Not To Be Released
For Shipment,” repeat steps 2 – 7, but this
time select the Not To Be Released For
Shipment bubble instead.

Certify Not To Be Released For Shipment popup.

Products Tab showing your selected products are now certified Not To Be Released For
Shipment.

10) Click Yes on the acknowledgement popup
to confirm that selected products will not
be released for shipment until bilingual
labeling is added. (Please note that you
can release a product for shipment at
any time; just add any required bilingual
labeling to the product and update your
bilingual labeling responses in MyPeST.)
11) You will return to the Products Tab. You
will now see checkmarks for your selected
products in the Not To Be Released For
Shipment column.

Products Tab showing your selected products have the certifications removed and the toast
message confirming that the product records have been updated.

A green toast message will be displayed
at the top of the page for a few seconds
indicating that your certification has been
recorded by EPA.
12) If you incorrectly certified a product, you
can check the box beside it, click Edit,
click the Remove Product Certification
bubble, and click Submit. There will be
no popup. However, you will return to the
Products tab and any checkmarks that
were in the Bilingual Labeling Added or
Not To Be Released For Shipment columns
will be removed.
A green toast message will be displayed
at the top of the page for a few seconds
indicating that your certification has been
updated.
Note: You can change your responses in
MyPeST at any time. If, before the next
reporting deadline, you decide to release a
selected product for shipment, remove the
certification by following the instructions
below, and instead certify that you have
added the required bilingual labeling.

How Do I Provide EPA With Links To Bilingual Labeling?
While reporting on compliance with PRIA 5 bilingual labeling requirements, registrants may also provide a link to their
translated labels. Note that providing a URL is not required to report bilingual labeling compliance, nor are registrants who
have not put their labeling online expected to create URLs exclusively to share it via MyPeST.
However, EPA hopes that registrants will consider providing URLs to bilingual labeling in MyPeST so that EPA may publish
the link on the Pesticide and Product Labeling System (PPLS) to make bilingual labeling accessible to farmworkers and the
general public.
1) To add a URL link to a bilingual label,
copy the link and paste it into the
Spanish Labeling URL field next to the
corresponding product.

Products Tab showing three URLS have been entered, but since they have a yellow background and the blue dots are visible, the data has not yet been saved in MyPeST.

Note: For products that have multiple
market labels, note that there is a
255-character limit on the field. Registrants
should include the most representative or
complete label, not all possible labels.
2) When you paste the URL in the field, the
background of that table cell will turn
yellow. You will see six dots at the top of
the column indicating that you have made
a change, but that your change has not
been saved yet.
In the example, there are three URLs that
are highlighted yellow, which means you
entered three URLs, but so far, none of
them have been saved. If you close my
browser window now, that data will be lost.

Products Tab showing your selected products have the certifications removed and the toast
message confirming that the product records have been updated.

3) After five seconds of inactivity, MyPeST
saves all the highlighted data. You will see
a green toast message at the top of the
screen indicating that your URLs have
been saved, and the URLs will have a white
background again. Because responses
save automatically, you do not have to
finish the report in one sitting.
Note: the Spanish Labeling URL is
separate from the Bilingual Labeling Added
checkbox. So, if you select products that
have been certified bilingual and click
Remove Product Certification, the URL will
remain in the Spanish Labeling URL field
until you highlight it and delete it.

I Already Reported Compliance. Should I Update/Recertify My Responses?
Do update/recertify responses if…

• You have any products that have reached their compliance dates since you last reported.

• You have registered any new products that require bilingual labeling per the compliance deadlines, or made label
changes (such as adding agricultural uses) that change a product’s PRIA 5 compliance dates.

• You released for shipment a product that must include bilingual labeling per the compliance deadlines, but that
previously did not have bilingual labeling because it was not released for shipment.

Otherwise, do not update or recertify responses.

Assistance
If you have questions about bilingual labeling, you can get assistance by sending an email to oppbilinguallabels@epa.gov.
