EN 16636

EN 16636 is the European Standard for the pest management industry. It has been developed in order to professionalize the European pest management sector and to protect clients, public health and the environment.

Compliance with EN 16636 will enable pest management providers to demonstrate that:

• They have the necessary competence and know-how to deliver pest management services
• They have a management system to ensure a consistent level of quality
• They systematically minimize risks for clients and the public
• They systematically minimize potential negative impacts on the environment and animal welfare

The standard is intended for professional providers of pest management services, including assessment, prevention, consultancy and execution of the relevant procedures. It does not apply to field crop protection and routine cleaning and disinfection, carried out by regular contract cleaning services.
