amount of active ingredient in the concentrate sample shall not be less than
80% of the stated concentration.
(2) Stated concentration of an active
ingredient on the product label is not less than 0.51% and not more than 1.0%.
(A) The maximum amount of active ingredient
in the concentrate sample shall not exceed 140% of the stated
concentration.
(B) The minimum
amount of active ingredient in the concentrate sample shall not be less than
85% of the stated concentration.
(3) Stated concentration of an active
ingredient on the product label is not less than 1.0% and not more than 5.0%.
(A) The maximum amount of active ingredient
in the concentrate sample shall not exceed 140% of the stated
concentration.
(B) The minimum
amount of active ingredient in the concentrate sample shall not be less than
90% of the stated concentration.
(4) Stated concentration of an active
ingredient on the product label is not less than 5.0% and not more than 10.0%.

concentration.
(B) The minimum
amount of active ingredient in the concentrate sample shall not be less than
92% of the stated concentration.
(5) Stated concentration of an active
ingredient on the product label is not less than 10.0% and not more than 50.0%.
(A) The maximum amount of active ingredient
in the concentrate sample shall not exceed 125% of the stated
concentration.
(B) The minimum
amount of active ingredient in the concentrate sample shall not be less than
94% of the stated concentration.
(6) Stated concentration of an active
ingredient on the product label is not less than 50.0% and not more than 100%.
(A) The maximum amount of active ingredient
in the concentrate sample shall not exceed 115% of the stated
concentration.
(B) The minimum
amount of active ingredient in the concentrate sample shall not be less than
96% of the stated concentration.
(b) The values expressed shall establish the
minimum content for the analysis of fertilizer or pesticide mixtures, pressed
blocks, and non-uniform bait samples. Values below the concentration of active
ingredient stated on the product label that do not equal or exceed the minimum
content listed shall be "adulterated".
(1)
When the stated concentration of an active ingredient on the product label is
less than 1.26%, the minimum amount of active ingredient in the sample shall
not be less than 67% of the stated concentration.
(2) When the stated concentration of an
active ingredient on the product label is not less than 1.26% and not more than
5.0%, the minimum amount of active ingredient in the sample shall not be less
than 80% of the stated concentration.
(3) When the stated concentration of an
active ingredient on the product label is more than 5.0%, the minimum amount of
active ingredient in the sample shall not be less than 85% of the stated
concentration.
(c) The
values expressed shall establish the minimum content for the analysis of
rotenone, pyrethrin, and other natural product formulation samples. Values
below the concentration of active ingredient stated on the product label that
do not equal or exceed the minimum content listed shall be "adulterated".
(1) When the stated concentration of an
active ingredient on the product label is less than 0.51%, the minimum amount
of active ingredient in the sample shall not be less than 70% of the stated
concentration.
(2) When the stated
concentration of an active ingredient on the product label is not less than
0.51% and not more than 1.25%, the minimum amount of active ingredient in the
sample shall not be less than 80% of the stated concentration.
