Test Description

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/11945/2015.

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

Grapes form the basis of a globally consumed beverage, namely wine. As such the effects of poor farming practices, and increased levels of pesticides, can have a large effect. To mitigate this risk it is important to highlight any high levels of pesticides within grapes before they are offered to consumers.

To provide the effective and highly accurate testing required, robust quality assurance programmes must be utilised. Fapas proficiency tests make use of real food matrices from which to benchmark your testing ability and allow improvements to be made quickly and concisely. This is due to the direct comparisons that can be made between your proficiency test results and routine testing ability.

Fapas proficiency tests make use of an extensive list of pesticides, to ensure that the flexible testing capabilities offered to your customers are fit for purpose and future proofed for years to come.
