| Item | Requirement | Test Standard |
| Efficiency | ||
| Insecticidal Effect | Net material must conserve >80 % functional mortality after 20 washes | SOP 003 SAL 01SOP.B.02 |
| Active Ingredient | Target Deltamethrin concentration is 55 mg/m2 ± 25% (lower limit is 45mg/m2).After 6 standard laboratory washes (as described in SOP.C.03) the concentration of Deltamethrin must be min 25 mg/m2 | SOP.C.01 SOP.C.03 |
