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


Warszawa, 13.11.2008.

1313


BASIC PROBLEM – PRODUCT IDENTITY TESTING

ACTIVE SUBSTANCE IDENTITY PESTICIDE FORMULATION IDENTITY

identical chemical compound

identical phys.-chem. properties

identical requirements with regard

to minimum purity

identical composition of impurities

identical method of synthesis

for the active substance

identical formulation type

identical ingredients, incl.

coformulants

identical quantitative ratio

of coformulants

identical phys.-chem properties

identical quality requirements


Warszawa, 13.11.2008.

1414


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?
