What does REI stand for?

• A. Restricted Entry Level
• B. Regulated Entry Interval
• C. Restricted Emergency Interval
• D. Restricted Entry Interval

Answer: (D)

REI stands for Restricted Entry Interval. It is the period after a pesticide application during which entry to the treated area is prohibited to protect workers from exposure. The label uses this exact term, so it is the correct choice. The other phrasings don’t appear on pesticide labels, so they don’t match the standard terminology. Labels specify the REI in hours or days, depending on the product, formulation, crop, and use pattern; once the REI has passed, entry is allowed with the required PPE as specified on the label. (Note: REI is different from Pre-Harvest Interval, which governs when harvest can occur after application.)
