This draft Uganda standard specifies a test method for the determination of total soluble uranium activity in drinking water in the range of 0.037 Bq/l (1 pCi/l) or greater by selective solvent extraction and high-resolution alpha-liquid-scintillation spectrometry. The energy resolution obtainable with this technique also allows estimation of the 238U to 234U activity ratio.

Products Covered: Waters, incl. natural or artificial mineral waters and aerated waters, not containing added sugar, other sweetening matter or flavoured; ice and snow (HS code(s): 2201); Drinking water (ICS code(s): 13.060.20)

The manufacture, importation and fractionation of the active ingredients carbofuran, carbosulfan, diazinon, aldicarb, dicofol and their formulated products shall be prohibited beginning 365 days from the entry into force of this measure. Ten % granular formulations of carbofuran are excluded from the ban. Enterprises that have any of these products, registered in the National Plant Therapeutics Register, must declare their inventories and indicate the number of containers, capacity, batch and expiry date.

Products Covered: Pesticide active ingredients Insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides, anti-sprouting products and plant-growth regulators, disinfectants and similar products, put up in forms or packings for retail sale or as preparations or articles (for example, sulphur-treated bands, wicks and candles, and fly-papers) (HS 3808).
