`History
`
`The history of CIPAC (Collaborative International Pesticides Analytical Council (Limited)) began in 1954 when at the IIIrd International Congress of Crop Protection in Paris, a resolution was
`passed recommending the appointment of a committee of official analytical chemists to prepare standardised methods of analysis for pesticide formulations. At the next Congress in
`Hamburg in 1957 a European Committee was set up, consisting of official experts from Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, The Netherlands and Switzerland. This action was
`mainly the work of Dr R.de B. Ashworth of the former Plant Pathology Laboratory at Harpenden, who had been also the 'auctor intellectualis'.
`After a survey period the first results of the work of the committee appeared in the early 1960's. They consisted of standardised methods of analysis for pesticide formulations which were
`published in the FAO Plant Protection Bulletin. Progress was steady and in 1970 CIPAC Handbook Vol. 1 was produced with sections on analytical methods, physical tests, reagents and
`the preparation of pure pesticides.
`In the meantime, CIPAC had lost its European confinement and had evolved to become an organisation with a world-wide participation which was recognised by other international bodies
`such as FAO, WHO, AOAC, UNIDO and GIFAP, now GCPF. CIPAC methods formed the basis of FAO specifications and CIPAC and AOAC agreed to co-ordinate their work in the field of
`pesticide formulation analysis, and to recognise and use each other's methods.
`In 1971 CIPAC was incorporated as a limited company in the UK, and as a non-profit making organisation, was registered under the Charities Act. Since then CIPAC has progressed
`steadily to its present leading position in the area of standardisation of methods for analysis for pesticide formulations, both chemical and physical. Methods have been published at regular
`intervals. Their use is required by registration authorities, the European Union, and by FAO and WHO specifications.
