Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to dichlorvos technical, an organophosphate insecticide, consisting of the active ingredient and its manufacturing impurities. It is applicable to manufacturers and importers of this specific pesticide technical material in China. It does not apply to formulated dichlorvos products or emulsifiable concentrates. The standard replaces the previous version GB 2549-1981(1989) and introduces unified quality specifications without grade classifications.
Technical requirements
The standard mandates specific physical and chemical parameters for dichlorvos technical. Appearance must be an amber to colorless transparent liquid free of visible foreign impurities. Key control items include the active ingredient content, which must meet a minimum threshold, and the acidity level, calculated as sulfuric acid. The standard also sets strict limits on moisture content to ensure chemical stability. A significant update in this version is the addition of a trichloroacetaldehyde control project, a critical impurity monitor, while removing the previously required trichlorfon control. Compliance with these chemical thresholds is mandatory for all production batches. The standard references GB/T 1600 for moisture determination and GB 3796 for packaging requirements.
Testing methods
Testing protocols involve gas chromatography (GC) with a flame ionization detector for quantifying the active ingredient and trichloroacetaldehyde, utilizing specific internal standards like n-pentadecane and toluene respectively. Identification is confirmed via GC retention time matching and infrared spectroscopy. Acidity is determined through acid-base titration using a sodium hydroxide standard solution, while moisture is measured via the Karl Fischer method.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 2549-2003?
GB 2549-2003 regulates dichlorvos technical (the unformulated active ingredient), specifying its quality, testing methods, and packaging requirements for the Chinese market.
Are there any updates from the previous version of GB 2549?
Yes, this version cancels product grading, unifies the dichlorvos content requirement, modifies the acidity index, adds a trichloroacetaldehyde control project, and removes the trichlorfon control project. The internal standard for dichlorvos testing was also changed to n-pentadecane.
What are the packaging and storage requirements for dichlorvos technical?
The product must be packaged in clean, dry iron drums (typically 25kg or 200kg) according to GB 3796. It must be stored in ventilated, dry warehouses, strictly protected from moisture and sunlight, and kept separate from food, seeds, and feed.
