On October 05, 2018, the Vietnam Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development issued Circular 12/2018/TT-BNNPTNT stipulating the methods for testing plant protection chemicals.
Circular 12 specifically prescribes the methods for testing plant protection chemicals in Vietnam as outlined in the table below:
No. | Indicator Name | Testing Method |
---|---|---|
1. | Active ingredient content | According to each specific active ingredient |
2. | Drug form | Visual observation |
3. | Emulsion stability | TCVN 8382:2010 |
4. | Suspension rate | TCVN 8050:2016 |
5. | Foam level | TCVN 8050:2016 |
6. | Wet sieve analysis fineness | TCVN 8050:2016 |
7. | Dry sieve analysis fineness | TCVN 8050:2016 |
8. | Wettability | TCVN 8050:2016 |
9. | Solubility and solution stability | CIPAC Handbook Vol.H, MT 197 (p.307) |
10. | Dilution stability | TCVN 9476:2012 |
11. | Stability at 0°C storage | TCVN 8382:2010 |
12. | High-temperature storage stability | TCVN 8050:2016 |
13. | Dispersion stability | TCVN 8750:2014 |
14. | Particle size | TCVN 2743:1978 |
15. | Dustiness | TCVN 8750:2014 |
16. | Self-dispersion | TCVN 8050:2016 |
17. | Dispersion | CIPAC Handbook Vol.F, MT 174 (p.435) |
Note: The assessment organizations may apply different testing methods with equivalent accuracy and designated by the Plant Protection Department.
More details may be found in Circular 12/2018/TT-BNNPTNT effective from April 2, 2019.
