Resumo: Pesticide labelling and packaging leaflets are essential communication instruments between pesticide companies, health professionals, regulatory agencies, farmers, and consumers within the agri-food chain. This paper presents a conceptual model for ranking indicators to monitor and evaluate the outcomes of the current regulation on pesticide and wood preservative labelling and packaging leaflets in Brazil. The model applied to the Resolution of the Collegiate Board – RDC 296/2019, published by the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) in Brazil, could effectively demonstrate its adequacy and usefulness to help the Agency to monitor and evaluate label and packaging leaflet compliance with the regulatory framework on a national scale. The main results can be summarized as follows: (i) a fuzzy multicriteria tool for ranking indicators associated with the categories of legal requirements of the RDC 296/2019; and (iii) a set of 69 indicators ranked by these categories to be subsequently selected by the Agency.
