AOAC 2016.01 Multiresidue Pesticide Analysis by LC-MS/MS: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

The AOAC 2016.01 Multiresidue Pesticide Analysis by LC-MS/MS is a standardized laboratory testing method that ensures the accuracy and reliability of pesticide residues in food and environmental samples. This test is governed by various international and national standards, which are explained below.

International Standards

  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization): ISO 17025:2017 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories is a fundamental standard that outlines the general principles of laboratory quality management.

  • ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials): ASTM E3008-16 Standard Practice for Sampling Food and Animal Feed for Pesticide Residues provides guidelines for sampling procedures to ensure representative samples for testing.

    • National Standards

  • EN (European Standard): EN ISO 17025:2017 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories is a European adaptation of the ISO standard.

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution): TSE-ISO/IEC 17025:2018 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories is a Turkish standard based on the ISO standard.

    • Standard Development Organizations

  • The AOAC International (Association of Official Analytical Chemists) develops standards for pesticide residues in food, water, and environmental samples.

  • The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) contributes to the development of standards for analytical chemistry.
