WHO : Equipment for vector control – Specification guidelines
Description:
The specification guidelines contained in this document are intended to assist national authorities in selecting quality equipment for vector control. WHO no longer tests pesticide application equipment, for compliance with WHO specifications, at the request of industry. It will be the responsibility of national programmes to request for warranty on the equipment and any certification required regarding materials used in the construction of the equipment. It will also be their responsibility to arrange for a quality control test with a recognized laboratory (e.g. a WHO Collaborating Centre) equipped to evaluate pesticide application equipment. This evaluation by national authorities should also include equipment that has previously received WHO certification for compliance with WHO specifications. Such certificates are no longer valid and should no longer be used.
Why this Tool/Guidance?
These tools will assist setting standards for application equipment.
