The conclusions of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authorities of the rapporteur Member State Sweden and co‐rapporteur Member State Finland, for the pesticide active substance iodosulfuron‐methyl‐sodium are reported. The context of the peer review was that required by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses of iodosulfuron‐methyl‐sodium as a herbicide on winter wheat and winter barley for the control of grass weeds. The reliable end points, appropriate for use in regulatory risk assessment are presented. Missing information identified as being required by the regulatory framework is listed. Concerns are identified.
