Dear Colleagues,
We would like to announce the seventh European Proficiency Test for Pesticide Residues in special commodities (EUPT-FV-SC08, ground green tea), organised by the European Union Reference Laboratory for Residues of Pesticides in Fruits and Vegetables on behalf of the European Commission, Health and Food Safety Directorate-General (DG-SANTE).
This EUPT-FV-SC08 is addressed to all National Reference Laboratories (NRLs) and all Official Laboratories (OfLs) in the EU Member States. Laboratories not belonging to this EURL/NRL/OfL-Network may participate on a case-by-case basis. Participation in this intercomparative study remains voluntary. Given the limited material available, registration forms will be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis.
The test item, approximately 30 g of ground green tea containing pesticide residues, will be shipped to participants on November 18th 2024.
No blank sample will be sent.
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 (same as Mandatory Target list of EUPT-FV26):
