INTRODUCTION:

This document will be used by State Govts for establishment of Pesticides Testing

Laboratories in their respective States. Specifically, this document elaborates various steps to

be taken by State Govts for establishment of Pesticide Testing Laboratory in the states and

UTs. The aim of this document is to provide general guidance for the establishment or

strengthening of Pesticide testing laboratory for analysis of pesticides samples, as per the

provisions provided of The Insecticides Act 1968 and Rules framed thereunder. This

document focuses on Pesticide Testing Laboratories involved in the post-registration analysis

of pesticide to ensure their quality.

SCOPE:

The document covers infrastructure, equipment, chemical, glassware and other

requirements, needs for Chemical and Bio-pesticide testing Laboratory for analysis of

samples of pesticides with different analytical techniques for checking their quality

Pesticides Testing Laboratory (PTL):-

Pesticide is one of the major inputs in agricultural production which is used for protecting crop

against various pests. Effective plant protection depends on making available good quality

pesticides to the farming community.

Pesticide quality control laboratory plays an important role in providing quality pesticides by

ensuring availability of quality products in market for the safe use of farmers. as per provisions

laid down in Insecticides Act, 1968 and Insecticides Rules, 1971. Pesticides testing laboratory

will focus on testing of various pesticides which are registered as technical and their formulation

for their quality control.

General facilities required for a Pesticide Testing Laboratory are as follows:-

4. Procurement of Equipment

Analytical equipment should be purchased from major suppliers that have a proven

track record in supplying equipment which is fit for the purpose.

No major items of equipment should be purchased without clear evidence that it will

meet requirements.

All chemicals and reagents should be sourced from reputable laboratory chemical

suppliers and should be adequate for the tasks for which they are to be used. In

particular, laboratory gases and solvents used for chromatography must be of high

purity as defined by instrument and column suppliers.

5. Procurement of chemicals

Chemicals and reagents must be purchased from reputable suppliers and checked

against agreed quality criteria. Procedures should be available covering all aspects of

purchase and no chemical should be handled without clear knowledge of the material

hazards.

For particularly toxic materials, laboratory protocols should be available and followed

covering each particular use to which the chemical is put.

All chemicals must be stored in secure, temperature controlled areas, with good

lighting and ventilation, in accordance with prescribed storage conditions and local

safety regulations. Flammable materials should be kept in fire-proof cabinets, both in

general stores and in the laboratory.

7. Bio-Pesticides Testing Laboratory (BPTL):-

Bio-pesticides are produced by botanical and microbial origin. Bio-pesticides may decrease the

use of conventional chemical pesticides, while crop yields remain high. Bio-pesticides are

generally target specific and affect only the target pest and closely related organisms. Bio-

pesticides are one of the main component of Integrated Pest Management approach. The main

objective of the Bio-pesticide testing laboratory is to check the quality of Bio-pesticides

available in the market and to be used by the farmers on their crops.

8. Library and access to electronic databases

It is essential that staff should have access to all appropriate library facilities. Key

information is increasingly available electronically, and access to the Internet is

essential for gathering information on specifications used to analyse the pesticides.

Staff should have access to BIS methods, Registered Product Specification (RPS),

CIPAC, AOAC and ASTM methods, together with background information held in

the “Pesticide Manual” as well as information provided by pesticide manufacturers.

9. Areas for storage of data, samples, standards, and reagents

Secure areas should be available for filing and archiving of data.

Pesticide samples should be kept in in well ventilated, air conditioned or temperature

controlled areas and kept till the date of expiry in case of sample found satisfactory

and till the date of prosecution in case of misbranded samples and till the testing

report received from CIL, Faridabad.

Page 20: GUIDELINES FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF PESTICIDE TESTING …ppqs.gov.in/sites/default/files/guidelines_for_sptl.pdf · be taken by State Govts for establishment of Pesticide Testing Laboratory

20

Chemicals and reagents should also be kept in well ventilated temperature controlled

areas, with flammable solvents kept in fire-proof containers.

10. Waste disposal

Waste disposal Laboratory staff must have a good knowledge of local waste disposal

legislation, and procedures must be strictly followed. Waste materials, including

solvents and other organic matter, should be collected and stored in suitable

containers, and sent for appropriate, safe disposal or treatment.

Liquid waste containing chlorinated solvents must be kept segregated, to avoid

potential exothermic reactions and allow separate disposal or incineration. The

wastewater from laboratory sinks should pass to an appropriate water treatment

system.

11. Accreditation of PTL from NABL

Once the Pesticide Testing Laboratory (PTL) is established and become fully functional,

it may decide to seek NABL accreditation. It should make a definite plan of action for

obtaining accreditation and nominate a responsible person to co-ordinate all activities

related to seeking accreditation who should be familiar with PTL’s existing quality

system.

The PTL should get fully acquainted with relevant NABL documents and understand the

assessment procedure and methodology for filing an application.

A PTL wishing to be accredited by NABL must have a System Document Quality

Manual on its Quality System satisfying the requirements as described in various clauses

of ISO/ IEC 17025:2017, whichever is relevant and requirements of relevant NABL

specific criteria and needs to ascertain the status of its existing quality system and

technical competence.

The proposed person responsible for quality system or Quality manager shall have

undergone 4-days formal training on management system and internal audit based on

relevant standard.

The PTL must ensure that the procedures described in the Quality Manual and other

documents are being implemented. In case the laboratory performs site testing/

Page 21: GUIDELINES FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF PESTICIDE TESTING …ppqs.gov.in/sites/default/files/guidelines_for_sptl.pdf · be taken by State Govts for establishment of Pesticide Testing Laboratory

21

calibration, it must also comply with NABL 130 “Specific criteria for site testing and site

calibration laboratories‟.

The applicant PTL must have participated satisfactorily in the proficiency testing

program, wherever applicable, conducted by NABL/ APLAC or any other national or

international accredited/ recognised PT provider. If no suitable PT program is available

the PTL can initiate an inter-laboratory comparison with adequate number of accredited

laboratories. The minimum stipulated participation for laboratories is one parameter/ type

of test/ calibration per discipline, prior to grant of accreditation and an on-going program

as per NABL 163. The satisfactory performance shall be defined in term of z-score and

En number respectively or any other acceptable internationally accepted method. For

unsatisfactory performance, the PTL is to take corrective.

The applicant PTL must have conducted at least one internal audit and a management

review before the submission of application.

It may also be noted that with the above facilities, PTL may also proceed for GLP compliance.

However, they may refer to OECD guidelines on GLP for further guidance in the matter.
