Comprehensive Guide to CEN EN 15635 Determination of Pesticides in Cereals Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

CEN EN 15635 is a European Standard that outlines the requirements for the determination of pesticides in cereals. This standard is developed and maintained by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and is based on international standards such as ISO and ASTM.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service is governed by various national and international regulations, including:

  • EU Directive 2009/128/EC on the sustainable use of pesticides

  • EU Regulation 396/2005 on maximum residue levels (MRLs) for pesticide residues in foodstuffs

  • National laws and regulations governing food safety and environmental protection

    • International standards that apply to this specific laboratory test include:

  • ISO 17025:2017 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

  • ASTM E2759-17 Standard Practice for Evaluating the Validity of Analytical Results from Laboratories

    • Standard development organizations, such as CEN, play a crucial role in developing and maintaining standards that ensure consistency and comparability across Europe.

    Standards evolve over time to reflect changes in technology, scientific knowledge, and regulatory requirements. This ensures that laboratories remain compliant with current standards and regulations.

    Relevant standard numbers and their scope are:

  • EN 15635:2016 Determination of pesticides in cereals

  • ISO 17025:2017 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

    The CEN EN 15635 Determination of Pesticides in Cereals testing involves the following steps:

    1. Sample preparation: Grains are collected, stored, and transported to the laboratory.

    2. Extraction and cleanup: Samples are extracted using a solvent and cleaned up using techniques such as gel permeation chromatography (GPC).

    3. Instrumental analysis: Extracts are analyzed using techniques such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

    4. Data analysis and reporting: Results are calculated, tabulated, and reported to clients.

    Testing equipment and instruments used include:

  • Gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS)

  • Liquid chromatograph-tandem mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS)

    • Testing environment requirements include:

  • Temperature: 20C 2C

  • Humidity: 50 10

  • Pressure: Atmospheric pressure

    • Sample preparation procedures involve:

  • Weighing and mixing samples

  • Extraction and cleanup using solvent and GPC techniques

    • Testing parameters and conditions include:

  • Instrumental settings (e.g., column temperature, flow rate)

  • Sample preparation procedures (e.g., extraction time, cleanup method)

    • Measurement and analysis methods used include:

  • Quantification using GC-MS or LC-MS/MS

  • Identification of pesticide residues using mass spectrometry

    • Calibration and validation procedures involve:

  • Standardization of instruments using calibration standards

  • Verification of results through validation studies

    • Conclusion

    CEN EN 15635 Determination of Pesticides in Cereals testing is a critical service for ensuring food safety, compliance with regulatory requirements, and mitigating risks associated with pesticide residues. Eurolabs laboratory provides accurate and reliable results to clients across various industries, enhancing business reputation and credibility while improving market access and trade facilitation.
