This method is applicable to:
- water-insoluble chemicals which are being studied as active insecticides;
- organic water-dispersible formulations as supplied or as prepared in the laboratory by dilution of concentrates;
- water-soluble materials, for example salts.
NOTE 2 - This method can be used in conjunction with an ageing procedure, for example EN 73 or EN 84
