Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to bromadiolone technical material, consisting of the active ingredient and its related impurities produced during manufacturing. It is mandatory for all manufacturers and importers of this specific rodenticide technical concentrate in China. The standard covers the requirements, testing methods, as well as marking, labeling, packaging, storage, and transportation guidelines. It is specifically designed for the technical grade product and does not apply to formulated bait products or finished rodenticide preparations.
Technical requirements
The standard mandates specific physical and chemical properties for bromadiolone technical. The product must appear as a white or grayish-white powder. Key control indicators include the minimum active ingredient content (bromadiolone mass fraction), the molar ratio between the two stereoisomers (bromadiolone A and bromadiolone B), the maximum allowable drying loss, and the acceptable pH value range. Additionally, the standard outlines strict requirements for packaging and storage. The material must be packed in clean, dry woven bags with plastic inner liners. Due to its highly toxic nature, the standard explicitly mandates safety precautions, requiring protective gloves and clothing during handling. The product must be stored in ventilated, dry warehouses, strictly avoiding moisture, sunlight, and contamination with food, seeds, or feed.
Testing methods
Compliance verification involves several analytical procedures. Identification tests are conducted using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to compare retention times of the sample against reference standards, and Infrared (IR) spectroscopy to match absorption spectra. The quantitative determination of the active ingredient content and the isomer ratio is performed using reversed-phase HPLC with a UV detector. The drying loss is measured by oven-drying the sample at 105°C and calculating the mass difference. The pH value is determined according to the referenced standard GB/T 1601.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 20678-2006?
GB 20678-2006 regulates bromadiolone technical material, which is the active technical concentrate used for manufacturing rodenticide products. It does not apply to finished bait formulations.
Is GB 20678-2006 a mandatory standard?
Yes, Chapters 3 and 5 of GB 20678-2006 are mandatory. These chapters cover the technical requirements (control indicators) and the marking, labeling, packaging, storage, and transportation rules.
What are the key safety considerations mentioned in the standard?
The standard classifies bromadiolone as a highly toxic rodenticide. It mandates the use of protective gloves and clean protective clothing during handling, and requires washing with soap and water immediately after application to avoid skin and eye contact.
