The result referred to in the official analysis report shall be the mean value of at least two satisfactory replicate determinations.

In the absence of methods of analysis determined in accordance with Article 9 of Directive 76/893/EEC which make it possible to determine the level of migration into foodstuffs, that level shall be determined in the simulants listed in Chapter I of the Annex.

A special method of analysis is required to determine this.

The analytical methods for the determination of the characteristics of the products referred to above are those laid down in the Annexes to Regulation (EEC) N° 2568/91.`

For many positions the data is sufficient to fix residue level above the lower limit of analytical determination and it is appropriate to do so.

For other positions the information is adequate but demonstrates that the setting of a maximum residue level above the lower limit of analytical determination may give rise to an unacceptable acute or chronic exposure of the consumer to the residues.

laying down the methods of analysis and other technical provisions necessary for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 4056/87 of 22 December 1987 laying down the methods of analysis and other technical provisions necessary for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 3035/80 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds

The determination of moisture and crude protein content provided for in Article 3 shall be carried out by taking a sample for every 100 tonnes (maximum) of each lot of dried fodder leaving the processing undertaking or mixed on its premises with raw materials other than those referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 603/95 in accordance with the method laid down in the Community provisions establishing Community methods of analysis for the official control of feedingstuffs (1).

may request a State laboratory or laboratory designated for this purpose to verify, using samples provided by the applicant, that the analytical detection method proposed by the applicant in accordance with point 8 of the second paragraph of Article 5 of Directive 81/851/EEC is suitable for use in routine checks to reveal the presence of residue levels above the maximum residue level accepted by the Community in accordance with the provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 of 26 June 1990 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin (1);

Analytical methods for the determination of residues

Addition of analytical criteria to specify more clearly the product granted the designation of origin.

methods of analysis, including limits of detection, to determine the absence of pollution of natural mineral waters,

Results The result stated in the official analysis report shall be the mean value of at least two determinations the repeatability of which is satisfactory.

Whereas the determination of reference methods of analysis and testing includes the determination of the analytical procedures to be followed and the laying down of precision criteria to ensure a uniform interpretation of results;

A blank determination is defined as the complete analytical procedure, with omission of the test portion, or taking instead of it an equivalent amount of distilled water.

Analytical methods for the determination of residues must be submitted unless it is justified that the methods already submitted according to the requirements of Annex II, Section 4, point 4.2 can be applied.

Whereas the determination of reference methods includes the definition of the analytical reference procedures to be followed and the criteria to be applied when carrying out the analyses;

Analytical methods for the determination of pure active substance and, where appropriate, for relevant breakdown products, isomers and impurities of the active substance and additives (e.g. stabilizers)

Whereas the establishment of sampling procedures and of the methods of analysis required for checking the substances listed and their purity standards constitute technical implementing measures;

Apart from methods of detection and determination, information shall be given on analytical methods which are known to the notifier and allow detection of a substance and its transformation products after discharge into the environment as well as determination of the direct exposure of humans.

In the course of sampling and preparation of laboratory samples precautions must be taken to avoid any changes which would affect the lead, cadmium, mercury and 3-MCPD contents, adversely affect the analytical determination or make the aggregate samples unrepresentative.

Whereas Article 74 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 822/87 prescribes the adoption of methods of analysis for establishing the composition of the products indicated in Article 1 of that Regulation and of rules for checking whether these products have been subjected to treatments in violation of authorized oenological pratice;

all the information necessary for identifying the sample,-the method used and precise reference to the legal instrument in which it is laid down, or, where appropriate, detailed reference to a method, specifying the nature of the analytical operations to be carried out, or the principle of the method to be applied, as indicated in this Regulation,

COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) N° 4056/87 of 22 December 1987 laying down the methods of analysis and other technical provisions necessary for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) N° 3035/80 laying down general rules for granting export refunds on certain agricultural products exported in the form of goods not covered by Annex II to the Treaty, and the criteria for fixing the amount of such refunds

Whereas the drawing up of the list of substances or materials authorized as additives necessary for the storage and use of flavourings as solvents and diluents of flavouring, and as processing aids, and the establishment of specific criteria of purity for flavourings, the procedure for taking samples and the methods of analysis of flavourings in or on foodstuffs and the verification of the maximum limits laid down in the Annexes constitute technical implementing measures;

As the definition of reproducibility in relevant publications (for example, in ISO 5725) is in general not practicable for residue analytical methods, reproducibility in the context of this Directive is defined as a validation of repeatability of recovery, from representative matrices and at representative levels, by at least one laboratory which is independent from that which initially validated the study (this independent laboratory may be within the same company) (independent laboratory validation).

may request a State laboratory or laboratory designated for this purpose to verify, using samples provided by the applicant, that the analytical detection method proposed by the applicant in accordance with point 8 of the second paragraph of Article 5 of Directive 81/851/EEC is suitable for use in routine checks to reveal the presence of residue levels above the maximum residue level accepted by the Community in accordance with the provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2377/90 of 26 June 1990 laying down a Community procedure for the establishment of maximum residue limits of veterinary medicinal products in foodstuffs of animal origin (13);
