Collaborative International Pesticide Analytical Council (CIPAC) Analyzes

The acronym CIPAC is derived from Collaborative International Pesticides Analytical Council, which stands for Collaborative International Pesticide Analytical Council. This is a non-profit international non-governmental organization. The main objectives of this organization are:

• Promote international agreement on physico-chemical testing methods for formulations and methods for the analysis of pesticides
• To encourage interlaboratory programs for the evaluation of testing methods
• Publish standardized analysis methods

The described analysis methods have been recommended by companies and tested by laboratories all over the world. After evaluation and adoption of the results, these methods are published in CIPAC handbooks.

Here are a few standards included in CIPAC handbooks:

• CIPAC MT 1 Freezing point
• CIPAC MT 2 Melting point
• CIPAC MT 3.1 Specific gravity and density (hydrometer method)
• CIPAC MT 3.2 Specific gravity and density (pycnometer method)
• CIPAC MT 3.3 Specific gravity and density (method of density of suspension concentrates)
• CIPAC MT 5 Solubility in acetone
• CIPAC MT 5.1 Acetone soluble material (hot solution)
• CIPAC MT 5.2 Acetone-soluble material (solution at room temperature)
• CIPAC MT 6 Hexane resolution
• CIPAC MT 7 Solubility in Ethanol
• CIPAC MT 7.1 Ethanol soluble material (hot solution)
• CIPAC MT 7.2 Ethanol soluble material (solution at room temperature)
• CIPAC MT 8 Kerosene insoluble material
• CIPAC MT 9 Water soluble material
• CIPAC MT 10.1 Water-insoluble material (hot solution of sample)
• CIPAC MT 10.2 Water-insoluble material (cold solution of sample)
• CIPAC MT 10.3 Water-insoluble material (coarse material-water-insoluble)
• CIPAC MT 10.4 Water-insoluble material (material insoluble in pesticide aqueous solutions)
• CIPAC MT 11 Xylene insoluble material
• CIPAC MT 12.1 Flash point (Abel method)
• CIPAC MT 12.2 Flash point (label off tester)
• CIPAC MT 12.3 Flash point (Pensky-Martens closed tester)
• CIPAC MT 14.1 Freezing mixes (5 plus/minus 1 degree)
• CIPAC MT 14.2 Freezing mixes (10 plus/minus 1 degree)
