ISO 32084 Multi-Class Pesticide Testing in Tea
The demand for high-quality and safe tea products has led to increased scrutiny on pesticide residues. ISO 32084, the international standard for multi-class pesticide residue testing in food commodities, provides a robust framework for ensuring compliance with regulatory limits and maintaining product safety.
Tea is one of the most widely consumed beverages globally, and its production involves numerous agricultural practices that can lead to pesticide residues. The presence of excessive levels of pesticides can pose significant health risks, especially in tea leaves used directly for consumption. Therefore, rigorous testing protocols are essential to ensure that tea products meet stringent safety standards.
At Eurolab, we specialize in providing comprehensive ISO 32084 multi-class pesticide residue testing services tailored specifically for the tea industry. Our expertise ensures accurate and reliable results, enabling clients to make informed decisions about their product quality and regulatory compliance.
The process begins with proper sample collection from various stages of production, including raw materials, intermediate products, and final goods. Proper sampling techniques are critical in ensuring that the samples accurately represent the entire batch or lot being tested. Once collected, these samples undergo thorough preparation steps such as extraction using appropriate solvents followed by clean-up procedures if necessary.
Our state-of-the-art laboratory facilities equipped with advanced analytical instruments like Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), allow us to detect even minute amounts of pesticides. This sensitivity enables early detection of potential issues before they become significant problems.
Following analysis, our team interprets the data according to established guidelines provided within ISO 32084 and other relevant regulations such as EU Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs). Reporting is done promptly with detailed documentation including raw spectral data when requested by clients. This transparency helps stakeholders understand not only what has been found but also how it compares against set standards.
