# §158.2200. Applicability.


[Part 158](/cfr/40/part158.md), [subpart W](/cfr/40/subpartW.md) establishes data requirements for any pesticide product that is:

- (a) **A pesticide that is intended for use as an “antimicrobial pesticide” within the meaning of FIFRA sec.** 2(mm)(1)(A), regardless of whether it also meets the criterion of FIFRA [sec. 2(mm)(1)(B)](/cfr/40/2.md?p=mm-1-B). That criterion excludes from the definition any antimicrobial product that is intended for a food-use requiring a tolerance or exemption under FFDCA [sec. 408](/cfr/40/408.md) or a food additive regulation or clearance under FFDCA [sec. 409](/cfr/40/409.md). EPA will apply this subpart to all products intended for an antimicrobial use, purpose or function; the exclusion in FIFRA [sec. 2(mm)(1)(B)](/cfr/40/2.md?p=mm-1-B) does not exclude products from the data requirements of this subpart.
- (b) A product that bears both antimicrobial and non-antimicrobial uses or claims is subject to the data requirements for pesticides in subparts C through O, R, and U or V of this part with respect to its non-antimicrobial uses and claims, and to the requirements of this subpart with respect to its antimicrobial uses and claims.
- (c) A wood preservative, including a product that is intended to prevent wood degradation problems due to fungal rot or decay, sapstain, or molds.
- (d) An antifoulant, including a product that is intended to kill or repel organisms that can attach to underwater surfaces, such as boat bottoms.
