Comprehensive Guide to Codex GL 56 Guidelines on Performance Criteria for Methods of Analysis for Pesticides Testing Services Provided by Eurolab

The Codex GL 56 Guidelines on performance criteria for methods of analysis for pesticides testing are a set of international standards developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to ensure the accuracy and reliability of pesticide residue analysis. These guidelines are widely accepted and adopted by countries around the world, including the European Union, the United States, Canada, Australia, and many others.

Relevant Standards

The Codex GL 56 Guidelines are based on a range of international standards, including:

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

  • ISO 5725-1:1994 Accuracy (trueness and precision) of measurement methods and results - Part 1: Basic method for the determination of repeatability and intermediate laboratories reproducibility of standard measurements

  • ASTM E2580-11 Standard Practice for Evaluating the Linearity of Quantitative Measurement Methods

    • International and National Standards

    The Codex GL 56 Guidelines are supported by a range of international and national standards, including:

  • European Union: Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 on pesticide residues in or on foodstuffs

  • United States: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Pesticide Residue Monitoring Program

  • Canada: Health Canada Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA)

  • Australia: Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA)

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The Codex GL 56 Guidelines are developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), which is a specialized agency of the United Nations. The WHO works closely with other standard development organizations, including:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

    • Standard Evolution and Update

    Standards are continually evolving and being updated to reflect new scientific knowledge and advances in technology. The Codex GL 56 Guidelines have undergone several revisions since their initial publication, with the latest version being published in 2016.

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    The relevant standard numbers for pesticide residue analysis are:

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

  • ISO 5725-1:1994 Accuracy (trueness and precision) of measurement methods and results - Part 1: Basic method for the determination of repeatability and intermediate laboratories reproducibility of standard measurements

    • The scope of these standards includes:

  • General requirements for laboratory competence

  • Accuracy (trueness and precision) of measurement methods and results

    • Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with the Codex GL 56 Guidelines is mandatory for all laboratories performing pesticide residue analysis. Laboratories must demonstrate their compliance by obtaining accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2017.

    Industry-Specific Examples and Case Studies

    The Codex GL 56 Guidelines are widely used in a range of industries, including:

  • Food and beverage

  • Agricultural

  • Environmental monitoring

    • Examples of case studies include:

  • A food manufacturer in the European Union was required to demonstrate compliance with Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 on pesticide residues in or on foodstuffs.

  • A laboratory in the United States was asked to analyze a sample of agricultural produce for pesticide residues.

    • Statistical Data and Research Findings

    Studies have shown that laboratories that comply with the Codex GL 56 Guidelines have higher accuracy and reliability rates compared to those that do not. A study published by the WHO found that compliance with the guidelines resulted in an average reduction of 30 in laboratory errors.
