Acephate, Alpha-Cypermethrin, Chlorpyrifos, Chlorfenapyr, Chlorothalonil, Cypermethrin, Diazinon, Dichlorvos, Dimethoate, Deltamethrin, Difenoconazole, Endosulfan, Fenthion, Fenitrothion, Fipronil, Indoxacarb, lambda-Cyhalothrin, Malathion, Methamidophos, Methidathion, Metalaxyl, Phenthoate, Profenofos, Prothiophos, Tebuconazole, Triazophos, Tricyclazole, Trifloxystrobin.
Data Requirement for Pesticide Product Registration consist of A.I (Active Ingredient) Content Test, Physical and Chemical Properties Analysis and Accelerated Storage Stability Analysis.
1. Determination of the active ingredient content for pesticide product which is comply with the Pesticide Board Requirement (Surat Pekeliling Lembaga Racun Makhluk Perosak Bilangan 2 Tahun 2023) for pesticide registration purposes.
2. Physical and Chemical Properties Analysis of the tested product including Appearance, Color, Dilution Stability, Emulsion Stability, pH Range, Acidity, Persistence Foam, Pourability, Suspensibility, Wet Sieve Test, Spontaneity of Dispersion and etc following the International test methods; CIPAC Guidelines and FAO Specification.
3. Accelerated Storage Stability Analysis is to monitor the stability of pesticide product before and after storage at different parameters with elevated temperature (CIPAC test method).
The aim of analysis is to ensure the active ingredient (A.I) content and percentage (%) in the formulation meet the specification and quality criteria as stated in its label.
Example of Active Ingredients (A.I) we tested:
Abamectin, Atrazine, Cartap Hydrochloride, Chlorfenapyr, Chlorpyrifos, Chlorothalonil, Cypermethrin, Dimethoate, Diuron, Emamectin Benzoate, Fipronil, Glyphosate, Glyphosate Ammonium, Glufosinate Ammonium, Hexaflumuron, Imidacloprid, Malathion, MCPA Potassium, Paclobutrazol and Propanil.
