This round cannot be purchased on its own, it is only available in conjunction with the similarly numbered pesticide residue round. Blank matrix samples are available to purchase with many of the proficiency test materials. Every effort has been made to ensure these do not contain the target analytes at concentrations that would compromise the nature of the proficiency test. Other analytes may be present. NB: Blank materials are not part of the proficiency test per se and so are not included in our scope of accreditation to ISO/IEC 17043.
Apples are a widely consumed fruit and enjoy extensive global demand. This global demand can put a large amount of strain on manufacturers supply chains leading to poor quality produce being passed to the consumer. To mitigate this, effective testing measures should be undertaken. Providing this accurate testing service effective quality control measures are required.
Dithiocarbamates are a range of fungicides (a type of pesticide) and their wide-ranging advantages and relatively low effects on the environment have resulted in their widespread use. It is therefore important to ensure that good pesticide usage practices are being used, from which to ensure only safe foodstuffs are being offered to consumers. Pesticides are used extensively across the globe. They have effective yield improving qualities but must be used properly to reduce any residues passed on to animals or consumers. This can often be the case due to their extensive benefits and therefore the short-term gains that can be made.
