Hubei’s HaNPV SC Standard has been approved and formally released by the Standardization Administration of the PRC. The Standard was guided by the team of Professor Sun Xiulian in Wuhan Institute of Virology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and was jointly drafted by the research teams from Hubei Academy of Agricultural Sciences and other institutions. This Standard is the first local standard on viral insecticide in China.

HaNPV preparation is the first registered viral insecticide in China which has the largest annual output. Currently there are 14 enterprises which have registered 21 HaNPV products. Since all of the existing standards were set up by enterprises, the quality control indexes are usually not comprehensive and the technical indexes and detection methods are not unified, which has led to rather big differences between the products of different enterprises and limited further promotion and application of HaNPV products.

This standard established a set of feasible qualitative and quantitative determination methods on HaNPV SC and specified requirements for the products’ physicochemical property, sampling, packaging, delivery, storage, etc.
