EU 625/2017 Compliance Testing of Veterinary Drugs in Aquaculture: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

The European Union Regulation (EC) No 625/2017 sets out the requirements for the control of residues of veterinary medicinal products in food-producing animals, including aquaculture species. This regulation is a key aspect of ensuring public health and safety by preventing the presence of harmful substances in foodstuffs.

Overview of Relevant Standards

The following international and national standards apply to EU 625/2017 Compliance testing of veterinary drugs in aquaculture:

  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization): ISO 17025:2018 - General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

  • EN (European Standard): EN 15591-1:2014 - Methods for the determination of residues in animal products, Part 1: General guidance on sampling and analytical techniques

  • TSE (Technical Specifications for Equipment): EU GMP Guidelines for Veterinary Medicinal Products

  • ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials): E1759-17 Standard Practice for Conducting an Interlaboratory Study to Evaluate the Precision of a Chemical Test Method

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is responsible for developing and maintaining standards related to veterinary drugs in aquaculture. CEN collaborates with other standard development organizations, such as ISO, to ensure global harmonization.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time due to advancements in technology, changes in regulatory requirements, or new scientific discoveries. Regular updates and revisions are necessary to maintain compliance with the latest regulations and guidelines.

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    Some relevant standard numbers and their scope include:

  • ISO 17025:2018 - General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

    • Applies to all types of testing, including chemical analysis

    Requires laboratories to demonstrate their competence in accordance with specific criteria

  • EN 15591-1:2014 - Methods for the determination of residues in animal products, Part 1: General guidance on sampling and analytical techniques

    • Covers general principles for sampling and analytical techniques

    Applicable to all types of animal products, including aquaculture species

    • Step-by-Step Explanation of the Test

    The following steps outline the process for EU 625/2017 Compliance testing:

    1. Sampling: collection of fish or shrimp tissue samples from aquaculture facilities

    2. Sample preparation: homogenization and extraction of residues using suitable solvents

    3. Instrumental analysis: detection of residues using techniques such as HPLC-MS/MS or GC-MS/MS

    4. Data interpretation: evaluation of results to determine compliance with regulatory limits

    Analytical Techniques

    Eurolabs laboratory testing service utilizes the following analytical techniques:

  • High-Performance Liquid Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS)

  • Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS/MS)

    • Sample Preparation and Instrumental Analysis

    Detailed procedures for sample preparation and instrumental analysis are available upon request.

    4. CONCLUSION

    Eurolabs laboratory testing service provides comprehensive EU 625/2017 Compliance testing of veterinary drugs in aquaculture, ensuring public health and safety by preventing the presence of harmful substances in foodstuffs. Regular testing is necessary to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, avoid negative consequences, and ensure product safety and reliability.
