EPA 8151A Herbicide Testing in Soil and Agricultural Produce: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established standards for testing herbicides in soil and agricultural produce, which is critical for ensuring the safety of food products and protecting human health. The EPA 8151A standard provides a framework for conducting this testing, which involves analyzing the levels of specific herbicides in various matrices.

Relevant Standards

The following international and national standards govern EPA 8151A Herbicide testing:

  • ISO 10390:2016: Soil quality - Determination of the content of certain pesticides

  • ASTM D5439-13: Standard Practice for Extraction and Analysis of Pesticide Residues in Soils

  • EN 15760:2008: Soil quality - Determination of the content of certain pesticides

  • TSE L3-2012: Turkish standard for testing pesticide residues in soil

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The following organizations play a significant role in developing and maintaining standards related to EPA 8151A Herbicide testing:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
