SANTE Document 11312/2021: Quality Control and Method Validation for Pesticide Analysis
330,00 €
This document is intended for laboratories participating in Pesticide Residue Analysis in Food and Feed throughout the EU. We will clarify the aspects included in the 2021 revision regarding operational requirements, method validation, and quality control, aiming to provide confidence in the data generated and reported within the framework of official pesticide residue controls. This revision of SANTE Document 11312/2021 includes some updates on topics such as result calculation with correction factors, rounding of results, SRM uncertainty, and the definition and clarification of terms.
