Stability Testing

Storage stability and shelf life: These are the effects of temperature on the technical properties of the plant protection product.

The stability of the plant protection product after 14 days of accelerated storage at 54 °C should be determined and reported. Data from alternative time/temperature combinations (eg 8 weeks at 40 °C, 12 weeks at 35 °C, or 18 weeks at 30 °C) can be presented as alternative accelerated storage data. It should be noted that this test is carried out in packages made of the same material as the commercial packaging.

If the active substance content has decreased by more than 5% from the initial value after the thermal stability test, information on decomposition products is given.

For liquid plant protection products, the effect of low temperatures on stability should be determined and reported.

The shelf life of the plant protection product at ambient temperature should be determined and reported. Where shelf life is less than two years, the shelf life should be reported in months with appropriate temperature characteristics. Ambient temperature stability testing should be performed in packaging made of the same material as commercial packaging. Where appropriate, data on the content of relevant impurities shall be provided before and after storage.

Physico-Chemical Analysis within the scope of OECD (GLP) is carried out in our laboratory.

Stability of its products; It can be determined by 3 different test methods.
o Short Term Stability Tests
o Long Term Stability Tests
o Open Package Stability Tests
