Why is the CPDA Certification Program important?

When users purchase a CPDA certified adjuvant product, they have the assurance that the product meets the functionality claims indicated on the label according to a specified, uniform set of standards, and that ingredients used in the product meet EPA regulations for approved ingredients for use in pesticide tank mixes. The ASTM International standards E 1519-06ae1 and E 609-05 (available for purchase on the ASTM website), and definitions, provide the structure for ensuring an adjuvant product is of the highest level of product quality and reliability.  Pesticide registrants and users will have the assurance that the product will meet its performance claims and that all product labeling guidelines have been followed.
