EU 37/2010 Veterinary Drug Residue Limits in Foodstuffs of Animal Origin Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab: A Comprehensive Guide

The EU 37/2010 Veterinary drug residue limits in foodstuffs of animal origin testing is governed by a set of standards that ensure the accuracy, precision, and reliability of the results. The relevant standards are:

  • ISO 17025: General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories

  • EN ISO 17020: Conformity Assessment - General Requirements for Bodies Operating Certification/Inspection/Testing

  • EU 37/2010: Setting maximum levels for certain substances in animal feed

    • The legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service is established by the European Unions Food Safety Act (EC) No. 178/2002, which sets out the principles of food safety, including the need for accurate testing and monitoring.

    International standards applicable to this specific laboratory test include:

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

  • ASTM E1477-17 - Standard Practice for Sampling Stockpiled or Stored Materials

    • National standards may also apply depending on the country where the testing is performed. The standard development organizations involved in this field are:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • Detection limit: 0.001 ng/g

  • Precision: 20

    • The measurement and analysis methods involve the use of validated algorithms and statistical models to ensure accuracy and precision.

    The test results are documented and reported in accordance with the relevant standards, including:

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

  • EN ISO 17020:2012 - Conformity assessment - General requirements for bodies operating certification/inspection/testing

    • The report format and structure include:

  • Summary of the test results

  • Detailed analysis and interpretation of the findings

  • Conclusion and recommendations

    • The certification and accreditation aspects involve the use of accredited testing laboratories, such as Eurolab, which has been certified to ISO 17025:2017.
