China Announced 21 Test Guidelines on Environmental Safety Assessment for Chemical Pesticides

Original Article from CIRS

On 10 October 2014, the Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection & Quarantine(AQSIQ)and the Standardization Administration of China(SAC)jointly held a press conference in Beijing, announcing the approval and release of the Test Guidelines on Environmental Safety Assessment for Chemical Pesticides (the Guidelines for short in the following contents) and other 32 key national standards. Institutes that are responsible for setting the Guidelines and other 3 standards attended the conference and introduced the background, contents, application, targets and significance of these documents to the media.

The Guidelines (Standard Number: GB/T 31270.1-2014 -- GB/T 31270.21-2014) was formulated by The Institute for the Control of Agrochemicals under the Ministry of Agriculture (ICAMA) in cooperation with Nanjing Institute of Environmental Sciences of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and other 11 research and education institutions. The Guidelines will provide very important technical specifications for environmental test of pesticide registration.

Consisting of 21 parts including transformation in soil and honeybee acute toxicity test, the Guidelines adopts relevant OECD test guidelines in terms of the equivalence of basic principles and technical methods, and also incorporates a number of self-developed guidelines, such as "silkworm acute toxicity test" and "macro-crustacean toxicity test".

The Guidelines is mainly used to measure the parameters of environmental fate and eco-toxicity effects of chemical pesticides, in order to provide endpoint data on environmental safety assessment for pesticide regulation and new product research & development.

These test guidelines will take effect on 11 March 2015.It is believed that the release and implementation of the Guidelines will improve the technologies for pesticide environmental risk assessment, reduce the environmental effects of pesticides from the sources, protect ecosystems and advance the development of eco-friendly society in China.

The standard codes and the names of The Guidelines were summarized below:
