CEN EN 15635 GC-MS/MS for Pesticide Residue Analysis Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

The CEN EN 15635 standard is a harmonized European standard for the analysis of pesticide residues in food and feed. It provides a framework for laboratories to follow when conducting GC-MS/MS testing for pesticide residue analysis. The standard is developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and is widely adopted across Europe.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The CEN EN 15635 standard is influenced by various legal and regulatory frameworks, including:

  • EU Food Law (Regulation (EC) No 178/2002)

  • EU Pesticide Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 396/2005)

  • EU General Food Law (Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008)

    • These regulations require food and feed products to be safe for human consumption, free from contaminants, and compliant with maximum residue levels (MRLs).

    International and National Standards

    The CEN EN 15635 standard is aligned with international standards, such as:

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

  • ASTM E1820-10 (Standard Practice for Sampling and Testing Pesticide Residues in Food)

    • National standards, such as the UKs FSSC 22000 and the US FDAs Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulations, also influence the standard.

    Standard Development Organizations

    The CEN EN 15635 standard is developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). Other standard development organizations involved in this field include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) of the US Department of Agriculture

    • Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time to reflect changes in technology, regulations, and best practices. The CEN EN 15635 standard has undergone revisions since its initial publication in 2008.

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    The relevant standard numbers for this testing service are:

  • CEN EN 15635:2014 (Analysis of pesticide residues - Screening method using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry)

  • CEN EN ISO/TS 16140-2:2017 (Microbiology of the food chain - Method validation and information to be provided by the laboratory)

    • Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with this standard is mandatory for laboratories conducting pesticide residue analysis testing. Failure to comply can result in inaccurate or misleading test results.

    Industry-Specific Examples and Case Studies

    Examples of industries that require CEN EN 15635 GC-MS/MS for Pesticide Residue Analysis testing include:

  • Food manufacturers

  • Feed producers

  • Agricultural suppliers

    • Case studies demonstrate the importance of accurate pesticide residue analysis, such as a recent study showing high levels of pesticide residues in imported food products.

    Statistical Data and Research Findings

    Studies have shown that CEN EN 15635 GC-MS/MS testing can detect pesticide residues at very low concentrations. For example, a study found that the method could detect residues at concentrations as low as 0.01 mg/kg.

    The specific test requirements for CEN EN 15635 GC-MS/MS for Pesticide Residue Analysis testing are:

  • Why this test is needed: The test is necessary to ensure the safety of food and feed products, as well as compliance with regulatory requirements.

  • Business and technical reasons: Conducting this test ensures that food and feed products meet quality and safety standards, reducing the risk of contamination or adulteration.

  • Consequences of not performing the test: Failure to conduct this test can result in inaccurate or misleading test results, which can have serious consequences for human health and the environment.

    • The CEN EN 15635 GC-MS/MS testing method involves:

  • Sample preparation procedures: The sample is extracted using a solvent, followed by cleanup and concentration.

  • Testing equipment and instruments used: A gas chromatograph-tandem mass spectrometer (GC-MS/MS) is used for analysis.

  • Testing environment requirements: The laboratory must meet specific temperature, humidity, and pressure conditions.

    • The test report includes:

  • Result interpretation: Test results are interpreted based on the standards requirements.

  • Certification and accreditation aspects: Laboratories must be certified to ISO 17025:2017.

  • Traceability and documentation requirements: Results must be traceable to standards, and records kept of testing procedures.

    • Why Choose Our Laboratory?

    Our laboratory is accredited to ISO 17025:2017 and experienced in conducting CEN EN 15635 GC-MS/MS testing for pesticide residue analysis. We offer:
