EPA Registration Number
The EPA Registration Number (EPA Reg. No.) identifies the pesticide as being registered by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).
This means that the product has been through the level of scrutiny required by the EPA to identify possible risks. All pesticides in the U.S. have to be registered by the EPA. Each pesticide in the U.S. goes through a "Risk to Benefit Analysis"; even the home use products.
Example:
EPA Reg. No. 1234-56
