Pesticides and other agrochemicals - Common names
This document provides a link to an XML file that contains the common names for more than 1 200 pest control chemicals and plant growth regulators of international importance. For each substance, the XML file also contains systematic names, molecular formula, structural formula, CAS Registry Number®, InChI, InChIKey and use. The XML file is updated each year to add newly-approved common names and to make any necessary corrections or additions to the data.

Overview
ISO 1750:2023 establishes a machine-readable, annually maintained directory of common names for pesticides and other agrochemicals. The standard does not embed the dataset in the PDF; instead it provides a link to an XML file on the ISO website (https://standards.iso.org/iso/1750/ed-2/en/1750-en.xml). That XML contains more than 1 200 pest control chemicals and plant growth regulators of international importance and is updated each year to add newly approved names and corrections.
Key data elements provided for each substance include:
- Approved common name (intended to be permanent and free for general use)
- Systematic / IUPAC names
- Molecular formula and structural formula (SVG images linked)
- CAS Registry Number® (CAS RN®)
- InChI and InChIKey
- Declared use classification (see list below)
The XML file is designed to open in web browsers and includes well over 1 000 linked SVG images for structural formulae. An XSL stylesheet formats the XML as responsive HTML tables for improved accessibility and display on different screen sizes.
Key Topics
- Annual maintenance and updates: The ISO 1750 Maintenance Agency issues an updated XML file each year to incorporate newly approved common names and any necessary corrections.
- Machine-readable dataset: Delivering the data in XML with linked SVG images and InChI/InChIKey supports integration with databases, regulatory systems and search engines.
- Harmonised identifiers: Inclusion of CAS RN, InChI and InChIKey enables reliable cross-referencing across scientific, regulatory and commercial platforms.
- Stable common names: Common names are non-proprietary, intended to remain permanent and are suitable for use on labels, legislation, extension literature and publications.
Applications
ISO 1750:2023 is useful for a wide range of stakeholders:
- Regulators and policy makers: authoritative list for legislation and registration documents
- Agrochemical industry and manufacturers: standardized naming for product labeling and technical data sheets
- Information services and databases: consistent identifiers for indexing, search and data linkage
- Extension services and researchers: concise common names to communicate active ingredients without resorting to complex systematic nomenclature
Common uses recorded in the XML are classified (examples): acaricide, algicide, bactericide, fungicide, herbicide, insecticide, nematicide, plant growth regulator, rodenticide, safener, synergist and others.
Related Standards
- ISO 257 - Principles for the selection of common names for pesticides and other agrochemicals (describes the selection process and submission requirements)
- IUPAC recommendations cited for structure diagrams and nomenclature (referenced within ISO 1750)
For direct access to the dataset and annual updates, consult the ISO 1750 XML resource: https://standards.iso.org/iso/1750/ed-2/en/1750-en.xml. For maintenance queries or to propose new common names, contact the ISO 1750 Maintenance Agency via the ISO/TC 81 channels.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use
of (a) patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed
patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received
notice of (a) patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are
cautioned that this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent
database available at www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all
such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 81, Common names for pesticides and
other agrochemicals.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 1750:1981) and ISO 1750:1981/
ADD 1:1983, ISO 1750:1981/ADD 2:1983, ISO 1750:1981/AMD 1:1982, ISO 1750:1981/AMD 2:1999,
ISO 1750:1981/AMD 3:2001, ISO 1750:1981/AMD 4:2008, ISO 1750:1981/AMD 5:2008,
ISO 1750:1981/AMD 6:2018 and ISO 1750:1981/AMD 7:2021, which have been merged and
editorially and technically revised with the following changes:
— To conform with ISO policy on multilingual documents, the French text has been removed, apart
from the French versions of the common names. A French version of this edition of ISO 1750 will be
produced when French versions of the systematic names and the notes are available.
— The Russian common names that are present in ISO 1750:1981, Addendum 1 and Addendum 2 have
not been included.
— ISO policy now requires the “f” spelling of sulfur and its derivatives, and so the systematic names
that used the “ph” spelling have been updated. The spellings of common names must not be changed.
— The supporting data for the older common names have been updated to current standards.
— The notes on countries where certain common names are not acceptable have been updated.
— Notes have been added to indicate substances that are known to be racemates.
— The duplicate common names identified in ISO 1750:1981/AMD 7:2021 have been removed. The
deleted names are BHC, gamma-BHC, HEOD, HHDN, lindane, mercaptodimethur and oxine-Cu.
iv
— The results of the unpublished rationalisation exercise in 1989–1990 have been incorporated. The
affected names are benzoylprop, chlorfenprop, chlorthal, dicamba, dodemorph, endothal, metam,
oxapyrazon, proxan, quinacetol and TCA.
— Many of the structural formulae have been drawn to emphasise the relationships between related
compounds. They also conform as far as possible with the IUPAC Recommendations for structure
[1] [2]
diagrams and for stereochemical configuration. They are now all in SVG format, so that they
display well at any size on computer screens.
— The common names and their supporting data are not included within this document. They are
included in an XML file that will be updated annually and is available via a link in 4.1.
— Twenty-nine common names that have been approved since ISO 1750:1981/AMD 7:2021 was
prepared are included in the initial version of the XML file. They are anisiflupurin, benquitrione,
bipyrazone, broclozone, chloroinconazide, cyproflanilide, cypyrafluone, dioxopyritrione,
fenmezoditiaz, fenpyrazone, fluchloraminopyr, fluchlordiniliprole, flufenoxadiazam, flufenoximacil,
flumetylsulforim, fluoxytioconazole, flusulfinam, indazapyroxamet, iptriazopyrid, ledprona,
metarylpicoxamid, pyriflubenzoxim, rimisoxafen, seboctylamine, spidoxamat, spirobudifen,
tiorantraniliprole, trifluenfuronate and tripyrasulfone. Further common names will be added in
the annual updates of the XML file.
— The XSL stylesheet for the XML file produces a set of HTML tables that are not fixed width, unlike
a PDF. This responsive layout is designed to give the best user experience on all screen sizes. The
text re-flows without changing size and the structural formulae resize when necessary. To improve
accessibility, the text re-flows when it is enlarged.
