AOAC 2007.01 Pesticide Residue Analysis in Fruits and Vegetables by LC-MS/MS: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

The AOAC 2007.01 standard for pesticide residue analysis in fruits and vegetables by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is a widely recognized and accepted method for detecting and quantifying pesticide residues in food products. This standard is developed and maintained by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC), an international organization dedicated to promoting quality and accuracy in analytical testing.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The AOAC 2007.01 standard is based on the European Unions (EU) Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) for pesticides, which are established by the EU Commission Regulation (EC) No. 396/2005. The MRLs set maximum allowable concentrations of pesticide residues in food products. Compliance with these regulations is mandatory for all food manufacturers and importers.

International and National Standards

The AOAC 2007.01 standard is compliant with several international and national standards, including:

  • ISO 17025:2005 General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories
  • ASTM E2500-07 Standard Practice for Conducting an Interlaboratory Study to Evaluate the Performance of a Chemical Test Method
  • EN 15513:2011 Foodstuffs - Determination of pesticide residues by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)
  • TSE 1486:2014 Pesticide Residue Analysis in Fruits and Vegetables by Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)
  • Standard Development Organizations

    The AOAC, ISO, ASTM, EN, and TSE are all standard development organizations that play a crucial role in establishing and maintaining standards for analytical testing. These organizations collaborate to ensure that standards are harmonized across industries and regions.
