These guidelines are aimed principally at government bodies responsible for regulating pesticide distribution and sales, and trading standards, in agriculture, public health and other pesticide use situations.

    Guidelines for Quality Control of Pesticides 2011
    Also available in:
    These guidelines cover the legislative, administrative, organizational and infrastructure (facilities and trained human resources) requirements to implement a scheme of regulatory quality control of pesticides in Member States. Guidance on sample selection and sampling procedures is also included. They do not include quality assurance practices of pesticide quality control laboratories, which are covered in another set of guidelines developed by the Collaborative International Pesticides Analyti cal Council (CIPAC), FAO and WHO. Quality control of pesticides is a crucial and integral part of pesticide management and also in the implementation of the Code of Conduct by the various stakeholders. These guidelines have been prepared to assist Member States, particularly those that have constraints in the setting up of an effective pesticide quality control system in their countries. Governments may find that their existing laws are inadequate to implement some of the proposals contained in these guidelines and should consider making relevant amendments to their laws as the way forward.
