Help – Index of Chinese Common Names

Use the А–Z navigation buttons just below the title to display (in the left-hand frame) a list of names whose PinYin pronunciation begins with a particular letter. For example, click the “D” button to see the names whose PinYin pronunciation begins with that letter.

Scroll down the left-hand frame until you find the name that you want, and then click it to display its data sheet in the main frame.

Spaces, hyphens and other punctuation marks are ignored when determining the order in which names should be sorted. Names that include prefixes are included twice, once under the first character, and once under the first character of the significant part of the name. For example, “8-羟基喹啉” can be found under 羟” (in the PinYin Q section) and with the numerical entries at the bottom of the list.

This index includes:

• most Chinese common names that are included in the Chinese standard GB 4839-2009 Chinese common names for pesticides;
• some Chinese versions of names of substances that are considered by ISO not to require common names;
• official Chinese versions of International Non-proprietary Names that have been approved by the World Health Organization for pesticides that do not have an ISO common name.
