Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard is mandatory for manufacturers of domestic sanitary insecticide products used in households to control pests such as mosquitoes, flies, and cockroaches. It applies to various product forms including mosquito coils, electric mosquito liquid/mat, aerosol insecticides, repellents, and clothing mothproofing agents. Manufacturers must ensure their products comply with these safety requirements before entering the Chinese market. It does not apply to agricultural pesticides or industrial-use insecticides.
Technical requirements
The standard specifies comprehensive safety and performance criteria. It mandates that active ingredients must be registered and clearly indicated on packaging, with allowable fluctuation ranges varying by product type (e.g., mosquito coils, electric liquids). Products must meet strict efficacy benchmarks, such as specific KT50 (median knockdown time) and mortality rates for target insects. It introduces new safety parameters, including limits on methanol content in aerosol insecticides and hygiene indicators (lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium) for repellent products applied directly to human skin. For clothing mothproofing agents, the standard explicitly bans the use of naphthalene, requiring it to be non-detectable. Physical stability is also addressed; products must pass thermal storage stability tests, ensuring active ingredient degradation remains below specified thresholds after exposure to elevated temperatures. Additionally, electric mosquito liquids must declare a minimum effective period, and aerosol products are subject to internal pressure and net content regulations.
Testing methods
Testing procedures are designed to verify compliance with the technical requirements. Efficacy testing is conducted using the cylinder method referenced in the GB/T 13917 series. Active ingredient content is determined via gas chromatography using internal standards, with specific methodologies detailed in the standard's appendices for different product forms like coils, mats, liquids, and aerosols. Thermal stability is evaluated by storing samples at 54±2°C for 14 days and calculating the degradation rate. Methanol and heavy metal content in repellents are tested according to the Safety and Technical Standards for Cosmetics (2015 Edition). Naphthalene in mothproofing agents is detected using GC-MS.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 24330-2020?
It regulates domestic sanitary insecticides including mosquito coils, electric mosquito liquids and mats, aerosol insecticides, sprays, baits, powders, repellents, and clothing mothproofing agents.
Are there any updates from the previous version of GB 24330-2020?
Yes, compared to GB 24330-2009, this version adds requirements for methanol content in aerosols, hygiene indicators for repellents, and safety requirements for clothing mothproofing agents (specifically banning naphthalene). It also updates efficacy and thermal stability requirements.
How does GB 24330-2020 address clothing mothproofing agents?
The standard introduces new safety requirements for these products. It mandates that naphthalene must not be detected in clothing mothproofing agents. It also references NY/T 1151.1-2015 for efficacy evaluation and includes specific testing methods for dichlorobenzene isomers and naphthalene.
