Abstract The conclusions of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authority of the rapporteur Member State The Netherlands for the pesticide active substancestrain FMCH002 are reported. The context of the peer review was that required by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses ofstrain FMCH002 as a fungicide and nematicide for potato tuber treatment (field) and seed treatment (indoor) on maize, sunflower, sugar beet and winter oil seed rape and applied by drip irrigation and pre‐transplant plant module treatment on solanaceous and cucurbit vegetables and lettuce (field and greenhouse (permanent) and non‐permanent (walk‐in tunnel) protected structures). The reliable endpoints, appropriate for use in regulatory risk assessment, are presented. Missing information identified as being required by the regulatory framework is listed.
