4. (4) In addition to the other limitations expressed in this chapter and chapter 15.86 RCW, registration does not imply the Washington department of agriculture endorses the use of the product, does not make any guarantee that the material performs as represented by the registrant, and does not guarantee acceptance for use in organic production by certifying agents other than the department.
