WHO / FAO : Quality control of pesticide products : Guidelines for national laboratories
Description:
The aim of this document is to provide a general guidance for the establishment or strengthening of national pesticide quality control activities, irrespective of the use of the product, whether public health or agricultural. Though the end-uses of a product may differ, the quality control schemes are very similar, and a laboratory combining products of both areas may prove synergistic and allow a rational use of resources. This document focuses on laboratories involved in the post-registration analysis of pesticide products to ensure that the data generated are of a sufficiently high standard to stand external scrutiny. Reference is also made to laboratories engaged in pre-registration testing of products.
Why this Tool/Guidance?
This tool provides guidance on quality control activities.
