Scope and Methodology
The scope of our EN 19275 multi-class pesticide screening service encompasses a wide range of pesticides commonly used in agricultural practices. This comprehensive approach ensures that all potential residues are accounted for, providing clients with detailed insights into the safety of their soy products.
| Pesticide Classes | Residue Levels | Regulatory Limits |
|---|---|---|
| Organophosphates | Detected in parts per million (ppm) | Maximum residue limit as per EN 19275 |
| Nitroaromatics | Detected in parts per billion (ppb) | Acceptable limits defined by EN 19275 |
| Pyrethroids | Measured in ppb | Compliance with regulatory standards specified in EN 19275 |
The methodology employed in this service adheres strictly to the procedures outlined in EN 19275. This includes rigorous sample preparation, extraction methods, and analytical techniques designed to detect even trace levels of pesticides. Our team ensures that all tests are conducted in a controlled environment, minimizing the risk of contamination.
The use of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with diode array detection (DAD) provides unparalleled accuracy and precision in measuring pesticide residues. This advanced technology allows us to identify even minute amounts of contaminants, ensuring that all findings are reliable and actionable.
The acceptance criteria for this service are based on the maximum residue limits (MRLs) specified in EN 19275. Any detected residues must fall within these limits to be considered compliant with regulatory standards. This ensures that clients can trust our results and make informed decisions regarding their supply chain.
