Neem oil is not one interchangeable grade. Atlas separates oil from neem kernels or depulped seeds, crude or cold-pressed oil, clarified hydrophobic extract, supercritical-carbon-dioxide margosa extract, azadirachtin extract concentrate and formulated pesticide products. A comparable lot needs Azadirachta indica and feedstock evidence, pressing or extraction method, refining or clarification state, azadirachtin result and method when claimed, intended use, regulatory disposition, origin, manufacture date, package, quantity and delivery terms.
BIS IS 4765 covers oil obtained from neem kernels and depulped neem seeds. EPA assigns separate identifiers to azadirachtin and clarified hydrophobic extract of neem oil and explains that alcohol treatment separates virtually all azadirachtin and related substances from the remaining oil. EU Regulation 2025/1203 and Indian registration-committee minutes describe specific regulated formulation families, not universal composition limits for crude or cold-pressed neem oil. These references define identity and regulatory scope; they do not prove an offered lot, current authorization, availability or price.
BIS IS 4765 explicitly covers oil obtained from neem kernels and from depulped neem seeds. Kew accepts Azadirachta indica A.Juss., but a botanical name or seller description alone does not prove feedstock, origin or process. Atlas retains accepted species evidence, kernel or depulped-seed basis, harvest and processing origins, lot chain, pressing date and representative test evidence before comparing neem-oil observations.
EPA explains that clarified hydrophobic extract is the oil remaining after alcohol treatment separates virtually all azadirachtin and related substances from natural neem oil. EU Regulation 2025/1203 describes a different active substance made from cold-pressed oil of shell-free Azadirachta indica seeds and extracted with supercritical carbon dioxide. Atlas preserves pressing, solvent or supercritical extraction, clarification, refining, carrier and residual-active basis rather than merging natural oil and regulated extracts.
EPA assigns azadirachtin OPP code 121701 and clarified hydrophobic extract of neem oil code 25007. India's June 2024 Registration Committee minutes record specific neem-oil-based emulsifiable-concentrate applications containing azadirachtin at 0.03 percent, stated as 300 parts per million minimum. That dated decision is evidence for those named formulation applications, not a universal raw-oil grade or proof of current authorization for another product. Atlas retains method, result, formulation, label, applicant, jurisdiction and decision date separately.
Crude botanical oil, cosmetic or industrial raw material, pesticide active ingredient and formulated biocidal or plant-protection product occupy different regulatory and quality scopes. EPA labels for registered pesticide products include use and environmental controls, while EU Regulation 2025/1203 authorizes a defined repellent product family. Atlas records intended use, destination jurisdiction, authorization holder, registration or exemption evidence, label, batch and expiry where applicable; it does not infer authorization from the word neem or from a chemical identifier.
A BIS scope, EPA identifier, EU product-family composition range or Indian formulation threshold does not establish an offered lot's identity, active content, current availability, transaction value or delivered cost. A physical comparison still needs permitted current observations for the exact feedstock and processed form, test results, intended use, authorization, origin, package, quantity, currency, Incoterm, destination, delivery window, route costs and information vintage. Atlas withholds a physical estimate when those observations or usage rights are missing.
No. BIS places both within IS 4765 but identifies them by different feedstocks. Atlas keeps the kernel or depulped-seed basis and process evidence attached to each lot.
No. EPA explains that alcohol treatment separates virtually all azadirachtin and related substances from natural neem oil, leaving the clarified hydrophobic extract as a distinct active ingredient.
No. The cited 0.03 percent, or 300 parts per million, belongs to specific dated Indian neem-oil-based emulsifiable-concentrate applications. It is not a universal specification for crude or cold-pressed oil and does not replace a lot test.
No. The range belongs to the composition of the named authorized biocidal product family using a specific supercritical-carbon-dioxide margosa extract. It must not be generalized to other neem oils or extracts.
Accepted species, kernel or depulped-seed feedstock, crude, cold-pressed, refined, clarified or extracted form, extraction and carrier system, azadirachtin result and method where claimed, intended use, regulatory disposition, origin, manufacture date, package and lot, quantity, currency, Incoterm, destination, delivery window and evidence date.
