Comprehensive Guide to CEN EN 15662 Multi-Residue Method for Pesticide Detection Testing Services Provided by Eurolab

The CEN EN 15662 Multi-Residue Method for Pesticide Detection testing service provided by Eurolab is governed by the European Standard EN 15662, which is a harmonized standard developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). This standard specifies the requirements for the detection and quantification of pesticide residues in foodstuffs using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS).

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The use of pesticides in agriculture is regulated by various national and international laws, including the European Unions (EU) Plant Protection Products Regulation (EC) No. 1107/2009 and the EUs Food Safety Act (Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002). The CEN EN 15662 standard is a key component of this regulatory framework, as it provides a standardized method for detecting pesticide residues in foodstuffs.

International and National Standards

In addition to the European Standard EN 15662, several other international and national standards apply to this specific laboratory test. These include:

  • ISO 17025:2005 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

  • ASTM E2584-11 Standard Practice for Evaluating the Linearity of Calibration in Quantitative Analytical Instrumentation

  • TSE EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The CEN, which developed the EN 15662 standard, is a European Standardization Organization responsible for developing harmonized standards across various industries. Other standard development organizations that contribute to this field include:

  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization)

  • ASTM International

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution)

    • How Standards Evolve and Get Updated

    Standards evolve and get updated through a collaborative process involving experts from industry, government, and academia. This process typically involves the following steps:

    1. Identification of needs and gaps in existing standards

    2. Development of new or revised standards through working groups and technical committees

    3. Publication of draft standards for public comment and review

    4. Finalization and publication of updated standards

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    The CEN EN 15662 standard has the following scope:

  • Detection and quantification of pesticide residues in foodstuffs using GC-MS/MS

  • Methodology for sample preparation, extraction, and analysis

  • Requirements for instrument calibration, validation, and quality control

    • Industry-Specific Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with this standard is a requirement for various industries, including:

  • Food processing and manufacturing

  • Agricultural products and services

  • Environmental monitoring and remediation

  • Research and development institutions
