Indian StandardSPECIFICATION FOR

COPPER OXYCHLORIDE WATER DISPERSIBLEPOWDER CONCENTRATES

( Second Revision)

o. FOR E WORD

0.1 This Indian Standard ( Second Revision) was adopted by the IndianStandards Institution on 31 January 1977, after the draft finalized by thePest Control Sectional Committee had been approved by the Agriculturaland Food Products Division Council and the Chemical Division Council.0.2 This standard was first issued in 1959 and was revised in 1966.The second revision has been issued to align the packing requirementswith those issued by the Registration Committee of Central InsecticideBoard ( CIB). It also incorporates tolerances on copper content and itsmodified method of determination.0.3 Copper oxychloride water dispersible powder concentrates are largelyused as fungicides for the control of plant diseases.0.4 Copper oxychloride water dispersible powder concentrates aregenerally manufactured to contain 50 percent ( m/m ) of copper.0.5 In the preparation of this standard, due consideration has been givento the provisions of the Insecticides Act, 1968, and the Rules framedthereunder. However, this standard is subject to the restrictions imposedunder these, wherever applicable.0.6 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement ofthis standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off inaccordance with IS: 2-1960*. The number of significant placesretained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of thespecified value in this standard.

1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard prescribes requirements and the methods of samplingand test for copper oxychloride water dispersible powder concentrates.

-Rules for rounding oft" numerical values ( reuised ),

IS : 1507· 1977

2. REQ.UIREMENTS

2.1 Description - The material shall be in the form of free flowinghomogeneous powder, devoid of hard lumps and of uniform green togreenish-blue in colour. It shall wet readily on mixing with water,providing a suspension suitable for use as a spray.

2.2 Copper oxychloride, technical, employed in the manufacture ofcopper oxychloride water dispersible powder concentrates shall conformto IS: 1486-1969*.

2.3 The material shall also comply with the requirements given inTable 1.

3.2.1 When packed in bags ( see 3.1 ), the pictorial marking for 'USENO HOOKS, DO NOT PUNCTURE' as specified in IS : 1260 ( Part 2 )­1973* shall be stencilled on the bags.

3.2.2 The containers may also be marked with the lSI CertificationMark.

NOTE - The use of the lSI Certification Mark is governed by the provisions of theIndian Standards Institution (Certification Marks) Act and the Rules and Regu­lations made thereunder. The lSI Mark on products covered by an Indian Standardconveys the assurance that they have been produced to comply with the require­ments of that standard under a well-defined system of inspection, testing and qualitycontrol which is devised and supervised by lSI and operated by the producer. lSImarked products are also continuously checked by lSI for conformity to thatstandard as a further safeguard. Details of conditions under which a licence for theuse of the lSI Certification Mark may be granted to manufacturers or processors,may be obtained from the Indian Standards Institution.

4. SAMPLING

4.1 Representative samples of the material shall be drawn as prescribedin 'Indian Standard methods for sampling of pesticides and their formu­lation's' ( under preparation ).
