EPA 6010D Trace Metals in Feed Samples for Pesticide Contamination Testing Services

Standard-Related Information

EPA 6010D is a widely accepted standard for trace metal analysis in feed samples, which are used to detect pesticide contamination. The standard is developed and maintained by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In this section, we will provide comprehensive information about the relevant standards that govern EPA 6010D Trace metals in feed samples for pesticide contamination testing.

International and National Standards

The international standard for trace metal analysis in feed samples is ISO 11466:1997(E), which was adopted by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The national standards for trace metal analysis in feed samples are EN 13641-1:2014 (European Standard) and TSE 561 (Turkish Standard).

Standard Development Organizations

The standard development organizations responsible for developing EPA 6010D are:

  • United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

    • Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time to reflect changes in technology, methodology, and regulatory requirements. The update cycle for EPA 6010D is typically every 5-10 years.

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    The standard numbers and scope for EPA 6010D are:

  • EPA 6010D: Determination of 11 trace elements in water, wastewater, and sludge

  • ISO 11466:1997(E): Water quality - Determination of 17 elements by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) after dry ashing

  • EN 13641-1:2014: Animal feedingstuffs - Determination of the concentration of cadmium, lead and mercury by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS)

  • TSE 561:2008: Feed materials - Determination of arsenic content

    • Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with EPA 6010D is mandatory for feed manufacturers, distributors, and importers to ensure the safety of animal feed. The industries that require this testing are:

  • Animal feed manufacturers

  • Distributors

  • Importers

  • Regulators (government agencies)

    • Failure to comply with EPA 6010D can result in product recalls, fines, and penalties.

    Standard Requirements and Needs

    The reasons for conducting EPA 6010D Trace metals in feed samples for pesticide contamination testing are:

    3. Instrumentation: Details about the instrumentation used for the test.

    4. Certification: Certification of the laboratory and personnel conducting the test.

    Why This Test Should Be Performed

    The benefits of performing EPA 6010D Trace metals in feed samples for pesticide contamination testing are:

    1. Product Safety: Ensures the safety of animal feed by detecting trace metal contaminants.

    2. Regulatory Compliance: Complies with regulatory requirements and standards set by international, national, and industry organizations.

    3. Quality Assurance: Ensures quality control and assurance throughout the supply chain.

    The risk assessment and mitigation through testing are:

    1. Product Recall: Avoids product recalls due to contamination.

    2. Fines and Penalties: Avoids fines and penalties for non-compliance.

    3. Loss of Customer Confidence: Maintains customer confidence by ensuring product safety.
