Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to brodifacoum technical material, which consists of the active ingredient and its related impurities produced during manufacturing. It is specifically designed for the pesticide industry and manufacturers of rodenticides. It does not apply to formulated brodifacoum products or bait matrices. The standard covers the requirements, testing methods, as well as marking, labeling, packaging, storage, and transportation of the technical material.
Technical requirements
The standard specifies the physical and chemical requirements for brodifacoum technical material. It mandates that the product must appear as a solid powder without visible foreign impurities. Manufacturers must ensure strict adherence to the active ingredient content limits. Key technical parameters regulated under this standard include the mass fraction of brodifacoum, the ratio of cis-trans isomers (A/B), and the pH value range. Additionally, the standard sets limits on drying loss and acetone-insoluble substances to ensure product stability and purity. Packaging, labeling, and storage requirements are also strictly defined. The product must be packaged in clean, dry plastic bottles, and specific safety warnings must be included due to the highly toxic nature of brodifacoum. Compliance with these packaging and safety protocols is mandatory for market access. The standard references GB 3796 for general packaging rules.
Testing methods
- High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC): Used for the identification and quantitative determination of the brodifacoum mass fraction and the cis-trans isomer ratio. - Infrared Spectrometry: Used as an alternative identification test to compare the sample with standard reference spectra. - Drying Loss Test: Determines the moisture content by heating the sample at 105°C. - pH Value Measurement: Conducted according to GB/T 1601. - Acetone-Insoluble Substances Test: Conducted according to GB/T 19138.
