Comprehensive Guide to ISO 21422 Screening for Pesticide and Additive Residues in Cereals Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

ISO 21422 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for screening for pesticide and additive residues in cereals. This standard is designed to provide a uniform approach to testing, ensuring that results are accurate and reliable.

Relevant Standards

  • ISO 21422:2020(E) - Screening for pesticide and additive residues in cereals

  • ASTM E2653-19 - Standard Guide for Evaluating the Validity of Analytical Results

  • EN 15662:2017 - Determination of pesticide residues using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) LISO 21422:2020(E) - Screening for pesticide and additive residues in cereals

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is responsible for developing and maintaining the ISO 21422 standard. Other organizations, such as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), also contribute to the development of standards related to laboratory testing.

    Standard Evolution

    Standards evolve over time to reflect advancements in technology, changes in regulations, or new scientific knowledge. Eurolab stays up-to-date with the latest developments and ensures that our testing services meet the current requirements of ISO 21422.

    Industry-Specific Compliance Requirements

    Different industries have varying levels of compliance requirements for laboratory testing. For example:

  • Food manufacturers must comply with regulatory requirements such as FDA regulations in the US or EU regulations

  • Agricultural suppliers may need to comply with standards related to pesticide use and residue limits

  • Retailers and distributors may require certification from third-party laboratories like Eurolab

    • Standard Requirements and Needs

    ISO 21422 Screening for Pesticide and Additive Residues in Cereals testing is essential for several reasons:

    1. Product Safety: Consumers expect food products to be safe for consumption. Testing for pesticide and additive residues ensures that cereals meet regulatory requirements.

    2. Extraction: The sample is extracted using a suitable solvent.

    3. Clean-up: The extract is cleaned up using techniques such as solid-phase extraction or liquid-liquid extraction.

    4. Quantification: The cleaned-up extract is quantified using techniques such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS).

    Test Reporting and Documentation

    Eurolab provides detailed test reports that include:

    1. Sample Information: Sample ID, type, and origin.

    2. Testing Parameters: Method used, instrument calibration, and testing conditions.

    3. Results: Quantitative results for each pesticide and additive residue detected.

    4. Interpretation: Interpretation of the results in relation to regulatory limits.

    Why this Test Should be Performed

    Performing ISO 21422 Screening provides numerous benefits:

    1. Regulatory Compliance: Ensures compliance with regulations set by government agencies.
