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.

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.

Proficiency testing activities can be used as part of these wider quality assurance programmes. Through benchmarking your current routine analysis ability, areas for improvement can be highlighted, from which to achieve high quality, credible test results for your customers to enjoy.
