Dear colleagues,
As presented at the CIPAC meeting in Braunschweig, CIPAC
has developed a draft guideline concerning the validation
of analytical methods for the determination of relevant
impurities in technical materials and formulations.
The document CIPAC 4622 "CIPAC Guideline for analytical
methods for the determination of relevant impurities referred
to in FAO and/or WHO specifications for pesticide technical
grade active ingredients and formulations" has been
placed on our web-site for commenting.
CIPAC welcomes any kind of comments to the current draft
version. Comments can be made to the extent or just certain
parts of the validation requirements as well as to the proposed
procedure itself.
Your comment(s) should be send to CIPAC by 30th of September
to cipac(at)acw.admin.ch
. All comments will be taken into account.
CIPAC would like to point out that the intention of this
guideline is to have a reliable and harmonised validation
procedure for these kind of methods. Being aware that the
guideline will be a compromise anyway, it should ideally
cover the requirements of international bodies as well as
of the pesticide industry.
Kind regards,
Ralf Hänel (CIPAC Chairman)
