PMRA Pest Control Registrant Inspections – Canada
Health Canada PMRA inspections of pest control product registrants: company, date, compliant/non-compliant rating, measures and each observation with its legal reference. No street addresses.
What it does
Reads Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) Pest Control Product Registrant Inspections open data and returns one item per inspection (261 inspections, June 2016 to February 2023). Each item has the company inspected, city, province/state and country, end date, the Compliant / Non-compliant rating, the measures taken, and a list of observations with the Pest Control Products Act reference in English and French.
The source CSV has one row per observation; the Actor groups them into one inspection each. It makes one download per run from open.canada.ca.
Source: Pest Control Product Registrant Inspections Database on open.canada.ca.
Who it's for
Compliance and regulatory-affairs teams, pesticide and biocide suppliers checking partners, distributors, insurers, journalists and researchers.

Privacy
- The output is reduced, not anonymous: personal fields are dropped, but the remaining records are still public data about named organisations.
- Dropped: the three street lines and the postal code. Only city, province/state and country are kept.
- The source has no contact names, emails or phones.
- A regulated-party name that looks like an individual person (for example a given name, middle initial and surname with no company suffix) is blanked, with
regulatedPartyWithheld: true. On the Oct 16, 2026 data this was 1 of 261 inspections ("KAI R. SPANGENBERG EFTF I/S", a Danish sole-proprietor business). Firm names made of surnames, such as "GROULX & ROBERTSON", are kept.
Licence and terms
- Licence: Open Government Licence – Canada, which allows use "including for commercial purposes" with attribution. Every item carries the attribution.
- Automated access: the file is an open.canada.ca resource download. open.canada.ca robots.txt allows it with
Crawl-delay: 20; the Actor makes a single request. No terms were found that ban automated download of open data. - Independent; not endorsed by Health Canada.
Pricing
Price: $0.003 per result, no start fee (pay per event, one result = one inspection). The full list (261 inspections) costs about $0.78.
Limits
- The published file is dated 2023-03-20 and covers inspections up to February 2023. Health Canada has not posted a newer export on open.canada.ca; its own search page (
lookupUrl) may be more current. - This is inspection data, not the list of registered products. A rating applies to the inspection, not to the company as a whole.
- Observations are passed through as published; English text comes from the source's English column.
