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 quality control material test now has an extensive target list, offering a comprehensive range of insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, pyrethroids, organophosphates, organochlorine pesticides and neonicotinoids. This quality control material is useful when assessing the identification and quantification of the analytes.

Bananas include a large amount of different nutrients and minerals. As such they enjoy a large demand across the globe, which can in turn put a large amount of strain on global supply chains.

To ensure a high-quality crop, suppliers regularly use pesticides to reduce disease and pests within their crop. Through good farming practices the levels of pesticides passed to the consumer is low and manageable below safe levels. Suppliers may not always be utilising good farming practice, so it is important to ensure high quality testing to identify any high levels of various pesticides being passed to consumers.

Quality control materials are an ideal tool for removing any bias within your current testing practices. These materials are also invaluable for providing insight into your quality assurance efforts, by providing an accurate way to plot your progression throughout the year, within wider proficiency testing activities.
