DISCLAIMER 1

FAO specifications are developed with the basic objective of

promoting, as far as practicable, the manufacture, distribution and use of pesticides
that meet basic quality requirements.

Compliance with the specifications does not constitute an endorsement or

warranty of the fitness of a particular pesticide for a particular purpose, including its
suitability for the control of any given pest, or its suitability for use in a particular
area. Owing to the complexity of the problems involved, the suitability of pesticides
for a particular purpose and the content of the labelling instructions must be decided
at the national or provincial level.

Furthermore, pesticides which are manufactured to comply with these

specifications are not exempted from any safety regulation or other legal or
administrative provision applicable to their manufacture, sale, transportation, storage,
handling, preparation and/or use.

FAO disclaims any and all liability for any injury, death, loss, damage or other
prejudice of any kind that may arise as a result of, or in connection with, the
manufacture, sale, transportation, storage, handling, preparation and/or use of
pesticides which are found, or are claimed, to have been manufactured to comply with
these specifications.

Additionally, FAO wishes to alert users to the fact that improper storage,
handling, preparation and/or use of pesticides can result in either a lowering or
complete loss of safety and/or efficacy.

FAO is not responsible, and does not accept any liability, for the testing of
pesticides for compliance with the specifications, nor for any methods recommended
and/or used for testing compliance. As a result, FAO does not in any way warrant or
represent that any pesticide claimed to comply with a FAO specification actually does
so.

This disclaimer applies to all specifications published by FAO.

INTRODUCTION TO FAO SPECIFICATIONS

DEVELOPED UNDER THE OLD PROCEDURE

Between 1975 and 2000, FAO published booklets of specifications for technical
materials and related formulations of plant protection products. Revisions of, and
additions to, already published specifications will be issued when necessary. However,
all changes and revisions of FAO specifications are now subject to the new procedure
described in the Manual on the development and use of FAO and WHO Specifications for
Plant Protection Products, FAO Plant Production and Protection Paper No. 173, Rome
2002 (Revised First Edition available only on the FAO home page of the Internet at:
http://www.fao.org/pest-and-pesticide-management/en/ )

FAO specifications developed under the old procedure are based on the
requirements defined in the Fourth Edition of the Manual on the development and use of
FAO specifications for plant protection products, Plant Production and Protection Paper
No. 128, Rome 1995.

This manual contained detailed definitions and other essential background

information on basic procedures and technical principles adopted by the group on
Pesticide Specifications of the FAO Panel of Experts on Pesticide Specifications,
Registration Requirements, Application Standards and Prior Informed Consent, such as:

1. Classes of Specifications.

FAO (full) specifications (Code "S"). Specifications that have all necessary
requirements together with CIPAC (full) methods, or other collaboratively studied
(proven) methods. 2/ and 3/.

FAO Provisional specifications [Code (S)] are those for which more evidence of the
necessary parameters is available and where some collaborative study of the
methods of analysis has been carried out.

FAO Tentative specifications (Code "ts") are those which have been recommended
by FA0 as preliminary specifications which are based on minimum requirements.
The methods of analysis cited are normally supplied by the manufacturer or may
already have been published or be the subject of collaborative work.

Wherever possible, standards for apparatus and common names for pesticides are those
approved by the International Standards Organization (IS0).

2. Expression of Active Ingredient Content

- for solids, liquid technical materials, volatile liquids (of maximum boiling point 50°C) and
viscous liquids (with minimum kinematic viscosity of 1 x 10-3 m2 / s at 20°C) the FAO
Specification shall be based on g/ kg expression of content;
 5

- for all other liquids the active ingredient content of the product shall be declared in terms
o£ g/kg or g/l at 20°C. If the buyer requires both g/kg and g/l at 20°C, then, in case of
dispute, the analytical results shall be calculated as g/kg.

3. Tolerance on Content.

A declared content o£ active ingredient must be included in all specifications, and one of the
problems immediately arising is the level of tolerance acceptable above the nominal figures.
The tolerance is influenced by (a) the reproducibility o£ the method of analysis, (b) the
sampling error and (c) the manufacturing variance.

Allowable variations in analytical results (i.e., tolerances in content of active ingredient)

with respect to specific pesticide consignments are intended to cover reasonable variations
in content of active ingredient. For examples of such permitted tolerances, see the table on
page 20 of the Manual.

4. Containers/Packaging.

Containers shall comply with pertinent national and international transport and safety
regulations.

- Technical material, dustable powders and granules

Containers shall be suitable, clean, dry and as specified, and shall not adversely
affect, or be affected by, the product/material, but shall adequately protect it against
external conditions.

- Wettable Powders

The product shall be packed in suitable, clean, dry containers as specified in the
order. The container shall provide all necessary protection against compaction,
atmospheric moisture, oxidation, loss by vaporization and/or contamination to
ensure that the product suffers no deterioration under normal transit and storage
conditions.

The product shall be protected by an adequate moisture barrier. This may be a

suitable bag of polyethylene or alternative means of giving equal or better
protection.

- Solutions and emulsifiable concentrates

Containers shall be lined, where necessary, with a suitable material, or the interior
surfaces treated to prevent corrosion and/or deterioration of the contents.

Additional information should be given in all specifications where particular

pesticides present problems in packaging.

5. Biological information.
 6

- Phytotoxicity

No test can be specified to cover possible phytotoxicity of formulation to all crops.

When a crop is not mentioned in the instructions for use, purchasers should check
with the supplier that the material is suitable, always provided that such a use is not
restricted or legally forbidden.

- Wetting of crops

The dilute spray should satisfactorily wet the leaves of the specified crops when
used in accordance with the instructions. Test method MT 53.2, CIPAC 1, p. 965
may be useful.

________________________________________________________________________

1/ Should national pesticide specifications developed from these approved FAO

specifications deviate fend them, the national Authority responsible for making such
changes is requested to inform the FAO Plant Protection Service of the nature of and the
reasons for the modifications.

2/ Methods or analysis and miscellaneous techniques referred to in these specifications have

been developed and adopted by CIPAC (Collaborative International Pesticides Analytical
Council Ltd.). See CIPAC Handbooks, 1 (1970), 1A (1980), 1B t1983), 1C (1985) and ID
(1988), CIPAC Proceedings 1980 and 1981, obtainable from Black Bear Press Limited,
King's Hedges Road, Cambridge CB4 2PQ, England. The page numbers of specific methods
are given in brackets in the specifications. A copy of a method not yet published can be
obtained from the FAO Plant Protection Service.

SUBMISSION OF DRAFT SPECIFICATIONS TO FAO

Any organization, commercial firm or interested individual is encouraged to submit

relevant specifications, or proposals for revision of existing specifications, for pesticide
products for consideration and possible adoption by FAO. Correspondence should be
addressed to the Pesticides Control Officer, Plant Production and Protection Division, FAO,
Via delle Terme di Caracalla, 00100, Rome, Italy.

FAO has published a Manual on the development and use of FAO and WHO
Specifications for Plant Protection Products, FAO Plant Production and Protection Paper No.
173, Rome 2002 (Revised First Edition available only on the FAO home page of the
Internet at: http://www.fao.org/pest-and-pesticide-management/en/ )

Specifications which are considered suitable for further processing are assigned
priorities and circulated to appropriate organizations and specialists to comment.
Comments, together with other relevant information, are then reviewed in detail by the
Group on Specifications of the FAO Panel of Experts on Pesticide Specifications,
Registration Requirements, Application Standards and Prior Informed Consent. The drafts
are converted into FAO Provisional Specifications, or full FAO Specifications.

APPENDIX 1

DETERMINATION OF SUSPENSIBILITY

Determine the suspensibility by MT 15.1 (CIPAC 1, p.861), using the appropriate CIPAC
Standard Water.

Use amounts of sample sufficient to give concentrations in the 250 ml suspensions

equivalent to the highest and lowest rates of use recommended for the product (Note 1).
Carry out the determination on the suspension at a temperature of 30 +/- 2 C.

Determine the captan content in the bottom 25 ml of suspension as follows:

Transfer the bottom 25 ml of suspension quantitatively into a 250 ml separating funnel

using 25 ml of distilled water. Add 50 ml of chloroform, shake for 2 minutes to dissolve the
captan. Allow the two layers to separate and run off the bottom chloroform layer through a
filter paper into a 250 ml round bottom flask. Repeat with two further 50 ml portions of
chloroform. Evaporate the solvent using a rotary evaporator and eliminate the traces of
solvent using a light current of dry air.

Determine the captan content of the residue either by method 40/WP/M.3/3, CIPAC 1C,
p.2017 or method 40/WP/M.4/3, p.2017.

_____________________________

Note 1 The method is not suitable for high concentrations as recommended for aerial or low
volume applications, i.e., above 1% captan in the diluted spray.
