Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to brodifacoum technical concentrate, a liquid parent formulation processed from qualified brodifacoum technical material and necessary adjuvants dissolved in suitable organic solvents. It is specifically designed for rodenticide manufacturers and pesticide regulatory compliance. It does not apply to the final formulated bait products or solid technical powders.
Technical requirements
The standard's Chapters 3 and 5 are mandatory, establishing strict criteria for product composition and safety. It dictates that the product must be a stable, homogeneous liquid with a warning color, free from visible suspended matter and precipitates. The standard sets specific acceptable ranges for the active ingredient mass fraction, the ratio of cis/trans isomers (Brodifacoum A/B), and the overall pH value range. These parameters ensure the chemical stability and biological efficacy of the rodenticide. Additionally, it outlines stringent requirements for packaging, labeling, and storage. Manufacturers must adhere to general pesticide packaging rules and ensure a minimum shelf life of 2 years. Due to the highly toxic nature of brodifacoum, the standard mandates specific safety protocols, including the use of protective equipment and immediate administration of vitamin K as an antidote in case of accidental poisoning.
Testing methods
Compliance verification involves several analytical procedures. Identification and quantitative determination of the brodifacoum mass fraction, along with the cis/trans isomer ratio, are performed using Reversed-Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) equipped with a variable wavelength UV detector. The pH value is measured according to the referenced method GB/T 1601. Product sampling and acceptance procedures follow the national standards GB/T 1605-2001 and GB/T 1604, respectively.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 20687-2006?
This standard regulates brodifacoum technical concentrate, which is a liquid parent formulation processed from qualified brodifacoum technical material and necessary adjuvants dissolved in suitable organic solvents.
Are there any updates from the previous version of GB 20687-2006?
GB 20687-2006 is the first edition of this standard. It was issued on August 24, 2006, and implemented on April 1, 2007.
How does GB 20687-2006 relate to international standards?
The standard references several Chinese national standards for general pesticide procedures, such as GB/T 1601 for pH value determination and GB/T 1604 for acceptance rules. The core active ingredient testing relies on an internal High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method rather than directly adopting an ISO standard.
