EN 12393-3 Test Standard for Plant Origin Foods, Multiple Residue Methods for Determination of Pesticide Residues by GC or LC-MS-MS

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 12393-3 standard. This European standard provides guidance on some recommended techniques and validation tests for the determination of pesticide residues in food of plant origin.

The identity of any observed pesticide residues is verified, especially where the maximum residue limit is found to be exceeded.

This European standard covers a number of multi-residue methods of equal status. Since methods are constantly being developed in this field, no single method can be defined as the primary method. Selected methods in this European standard have been validated or used widely throughout Europe.

Because these methods can be applied to a wide range of pesticide combinations in food products using different systems for determination, there are situations where changes in equipment, extraction, cleaning and chromatographic conditions are appropriate to improve method performance.
