However, measurement uncertainty is applicable to substances for which the ARfD is noted as \u2018not applicable\u2019 due to the absence of risk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The toxicological risk assessment for exceeding the MRL concludes that there is a <strong>risk to the consumer<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These interpretation rules are taken into account in our laboratory.
