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. In addition, they are used to improve the quality and quantity of crop yields. 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.

Pea is a widely consumed legume and its inclusion within various processed foods forms a significant demand from which to challenge suppliers to satisfy. This can result in poor farming and production processes, which can lead to significant levels of pesticide residues being passed to consumers which may be in breach of legislative measures. Your testing ability is therefore required to highlight this efficiently across a range of testing environments. 

Fapas proficiency testing measures are invaluable for ensuring only high-quality test results are offered to your customers and regulators alike. This can be achieved through the use of challenging test materials, which are enabled due to the real food matrices Fapas utilise. These challenging test materials can ensure effective areas of improvement are highlighted, with areas of importance available to ensure test results are detailed and accurate enough to satisfy your customers.
