Test Description

This proficiency test now has an extensive target list, offering a comprehensive range of insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, pyrethroids, organophosphates, organochlorine pesticides and neonicotinoids.

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.

Pesticides are well used globally across a range of foodstuffs. Due to large demands for produce such as apples, poor farming practices may be used to enhance supply in the short term, to the detriment of sustainability and product quality. This therefore requires effective testing to identify any low quality produce.

Most countries now have an extensive monitoring scheme for pesticide residues written into their legislation. There are more than 1000 compounds used worldwide as pesticides or plant protection products. When used properly, according to good agricultural practice, any residues can be expected to be below maximum residue limits. The Fapas pesticide residues proficiency tests are based on the EU monitoring list and associated MRLs but are widely applicable to most geographic areas. We also base our statistical data analysis in keeping with quality assurance guidelines as laid out in EC SANTE/11813/2017.
