Important remark: Please note, that the number of laboratories needed for this “small scale trial” is four, in conclusion besides the two different company laboratories we would need only two volunteer laboratories.

11.07.2008: Darft Guideline of the validation of analytical methods for relevant impurities. Comments are welcome.

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)
