WHO - Guidelines for efficacy testing of insecticides for indoor and outdoor ground-applied space spray applications [2009]
Description:
The guidelines provide specific and standardized procedures and criteria for efficacy testing and evaluation of insecticides for indoor and outdoor, ground-applied space spray applications against vectors and pests. They aim to harmonize the testing procedures carried out in different laboratories and institutions to generate comparable data for the registration and labelling of such products by national authorities. The document provides guidance and stepwise procedures on laboratory studies, field testing and evaluation leading to the determination of efficacy, and application rates of, insecticides for operational use.
Why this Tool/Guidance?
Information provided is useful to support environmental health decision making. It forms an authoritative basis for the setting of national procedures and guidelines for efficacy testing and evaluation of insecticides for indoor and outdoor, ground-applied space spray applications against vectors and pests of public health importance.
