1 Scope

1.1 This standard describes gas chromatographic (GLC) and highperformance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) methods for determinationof atrazine and simazine residues in food commodities.

1.2 The limit of determination of both the compounds is 0.05�g/g by the PHLC method, whereas it is 0.01 �g/g by the GLC method.

1.3 Though no set procedure for thin layer chromatography (TLC)is being prescribed, standardized (TLC) procedures may be followed,if necessary, for the purpose of clean up, identification andconfirmation of residues of atrazine and simazine.
