European Union Project:
„Laboratory modernization for comprehensive pesticide testing at IPP-NRI Sośnicowice Branch”
Beneficiary:
Institute of Plant Protection – National Research Institute Sośnicowice Branch
Time:
2007/2008 (completed in September 2008)
Scope:

Comprehensive remodeling of two laboratory facilities

Purchase of modern analytical equipment

CAUSES FOR DETERMINING COUNTERFEITING
 product different from a plant protection product
 counterfeit, unauthentic label
 label in a foreign language or no label
 dilutions of a plant protection product
 product different than label description
 different profile of impurities than a standard product
 formulation composition different from a standard product

BASIC PROBLEM – PRODUCT IDENTITY TESTING
ACTIVE SUBSTANCE IDENTITY
PESTICIDE FORMULATION IDENTITY
 identical chemical compound
 identical formulation type
 identical phys.-chem. properties
 identical ingredients, incl.
 identical requirements with regard
coformulants
 identical quantitative ratio
to minimum purity
 identical composition of impurities
of coformulants
 identical phys.-chem properties
identical method of synthesis
 identical quality requirements
for the active substance

NEED FOR MORE EFFICIENT ACTIONS
 conduct intense information campaign for law enforcement with regard
to the specificity of counterfeit pesticides and proper classification
of the violation
 urgent access of the controlling institutions to the original pesticides in order
to use them as reference products in identity testing
 create a database with labels and types of containers for the most commonly
counterfeited products
 exchange of information among the controlling offices of countries
collaborating against counterfeiting
 improvement in communication between the interested parties – creation
of an internet forum?
