ISO 18330 Pesticide and Veterinary Drug Residue Detection in Herbs Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

ISO 18330 is an international standard that governs the testing of pesticide and veterinary drug residues in herbs. This standard is developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in collaboration with other standard development organizations, such as the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and the Turkish Standards Institution (TSE).

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The testing of pesticide and veterinary drug residues in herbs is regulated by various laws and regulations worldwide. In the European Union, for example, the use of pesticides and veterinary drugs in agriculture is governed by Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 on maximum residue levels (MRLs). Similarly, in the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets MRLs for pesticide residues in food.

    Methodology for Detecting Pesticide and Veterinary Drug Residues

    The ISO 18330 standard specifies a method for detecting pesticide and veterinary drug residues in herbs using gas chromatography with electron capture detection (GC-ECD). The following steps are involved in this method:

    1. Sample Preparation: Herb samples are prepared by crushing, grinding, or milling to facilitate extraction of pesticide and veterinary drug residues.

    2. Extraction: Pesticide and veterinary drug residues are extracted from the herb sample using a suitable solvent.

    3. Cleanup: The extract is cleaned up using a sorbent material to remove impurities.

    4. GC-ECD Analysis: The cleaned-up extract is analyzed using GC-ECD to detect pesticide and veterinary drug residues.

    The following table summarizes the key points related to the methodology for detecting pesticide and veterinary drug residues:
