Dear Colleagues,

This EUPT-FV-BF01 is directed at all National Reference Laboratories (NRLs) and all Official Laboratories (OfLs) in the EU Member States. Laboratories outside this EURL/NRL/OfL-Network may be allowed to participate on a case-by-case basis. Participation in this intercomparative study remains on a voluntary basis. Given the limited material available, the registration forms will be accepted on a first come first served basis.
The test item, 200 g of peach baby food containing pesticide residues will be shipped to participants on 7thNovember 2016 (If any laboratory has holidays in the week of the shipment, please inform the organizer to rearrange the shipment).
The laboratories have to determine the residue levels and report the concentrations for each of the pesticides that they detect. The participants can download the Target pesticide List clicking here: Target List (excel file) Target list in pdf
