# §152.160. Scope.

- (a) **Types of classification.** A pesticide product may be unclassified, or it may be classified for restricted use or for general use. The Agency does not normally classify products for general use; products that are not restricted remain unclassified.
- (b) **Kinds of restrictions.** The Agency may restrict a product or its uses to use by a certified applicator, or by or under the direct supervision of a certified applicator, as described in FIFRA [sec. 3(d)(1)(C)](/cfr/40/3.md?p=d-1-C). The Agency may also, by regulation, prescribe restrictions relating to the product's composition, labeling, packaging, uses, or distribution and sale, or to the status or qualifications of the user.
