Regulatory and Technical Reminder :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regulation N\u00b0396\/2005 sets the MRLs (Maximum Residue Limits)\nfor each pesticide-crop pair. If the products contain active substances whose\nlevels exceed the MRLs, they cannot be marketed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For each analytical result, a measurement uncertainty is\ndetermined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The measurement uncertainty is a parameter associated with\nthe result that characterizes the dispersion of the values that could\nreasonably be attributed to the measurand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, uncertainty is a confidence interval built\naround the result in which the “true” value has some probability of\nbeing contained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do authorities take measurement uncertainty into account in conformity assessment?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The European guide SANTE\/12682\/2019<\/a> “Procedures for analytical quality control and method validation for the analysis of pesticide residues in food and feed” is a document for official control laboratories throughout the European Union. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guide specifies that the interpretation of results\nshould be carried out using uncertainty in order to verify the compliance of\nthe sample. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to cover inter-laboratory variability between\ndifferent laboratories, it is recommended that national regulatory authorities\nuse a default “increased” measurement uncertainty of 50%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To use this common uncertainty, each laboratory should\ndemonstrate that its own analytical method achieves a measurement uncertainty\nof less than 50%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In E15, the guide states that the result should be reported\nas follows:
\nResult = x \u00b1 U (units), where x is the measured value and U is the measurement\nuncertainty.
\nIn the context of official food controls by regulatory authorities, compliance\nwith the MRL should be verified as follows :
\nThe sample is considered non-compliant if x-U> MRL.
\nAs an example :
\nIf MRL = 1mg\/kg
\nResult x = 2.2mg\/kg and U = 50%, then (x-U) = (2.2- 1.1) = 1.1 > MRL or\nNON-conforming sample.
\nIf MRL = 0.5mg\/kg
\nResult x = 0.8mg\/kg and U = 50% then (x-U) = (0.8 – 0.4) = 0.4 < MRL i.e.\nCONFORM Sample <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, “downward” uncertainty should be taken\ninto account when concluding on the compliance of a sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
