Comprehensive Guide to ISO 23690 Determination of Pesticide Metabolites in Animal Feed Testing Services Provided by Eurolab

ISO 23690 is an international standard that outlines the requirements for determining pesticide metabolites in animal feed. The standard is developed and maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is widely adopted globally.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The testing of pesticide residues in animal feed is governed by various national and international regulations, including:

  • European Unions Food Safety Authority (EFSA)

  • US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

  • Codex Alimentarius Commission

  • International Code of Conduct for the Import and Export of Food

    • These regulations require laboratories to follow specific guidelines and protocols when conducting tests to ensure the accuracy and reliability of results.

    International and National Standards

    The following standards are relevant to ISO 23690:

  • ISO 13843:2014 - Animal feeding stuffs - Sampling

  • ISO 13528:2005 - Analytical laboratory techniques - Measurement model for expressing the performance of analytical methods (including uncertainty)

  • EN ISO 11063:2017 - Determination of pesticide residues in animal feed and pet food by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)

  • TSE 2344 - Pesticide residue analysis in agricultural products

    • Standard Development Organizations

    ISO is the primary standard development organization responsible for maintaining ISO 23690. Other organizations, such as ASTM International and European Committee for Standardization (CEN), also contribute to the development of standards related to pesticide residue testing.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time to reflect advances in technology, changes in regulatory requirements, and emerging analytical techniques. Laboratories must stay up-to-date with the latest revisions to ensure compliance and maintain the credibility of their results.

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    The following standard numbers are relevant to ISO 23690:

  • ISO 23690:2006 - Determination of pesticide metabolites in animal feed

  • ISO 13843:2014 - Animal feeding stuffs - Sampling

    • Industry-Specific Compliance Requirements

    Different industries have specific requirements for testing pesticide residues in animal feed, including:

  • Food and beverages industry (e.g., meat, dairy, and grain production)

  • Pharmaceutical industry (e.g., veterinary medicines and nutraceuticals)

  • Agriculture and livestock industry (e.g., farm management and crop protection)

    • Why This Test is Needed and Required

    Pesticide residues can pose significant risks to human health and the environment. Testing for pesticide metabolites in animal feed ensures that these products are safe for consumption and do not contribute to environmental contamination.

    Business and Technical Reasons

    Conducting ISO 23690 testing provides several benefits, including:

  • Ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements

  • Maintaining customer trust and confidence

  • Protecting brand reputation and market share

  • Supporting business growth through increased efficiency and productivity

    • Consequences of Not Performing This Test

    Failure to test for pesticide residues can lead to:

  • Regulatory fines and penalties

  • Loss of customer trust and revenue

  • Damage to brand reputation and market share

  • Environmental contamination and harm to human health

    • Industries and Sectors that Require This Testing

    Animal feed testing is essential for various industries, including:

  • Animal husbandry (e.g., livestock farming)

  • Agriculture (e.g., crop protection and farm management)

  • Food processing (e.g., meat, dairy, and grain production)

    • Risk Factors and Safety Implications

    Pesticide residues can pose significant risks to human health, including:

  • Cancer and other chronic diseases

  • Neurological damage and impaired cognitive function

  • Endocrine disruption and reproductive harm

    • Quality Assurance and Quality Control Aspects

  • Enhanced market share and customer loyalty

  • Improved brand reputation and credibility

  • Reduced costs associated with regulatory non-compliance

  • Increased efficiency and productivity through streamlined operations

    • Step-by-Step Explanation of the Test

    The ISO 23690 testing process involves several steps:

    1. Sample preparation: collection, storage, and homogenization of animal feed samples.

    2. Extraction and clean-up: removal of contaminants and impurities from the sample using solvent-based methods.

    3. Instrumental analysis: detection and quantification of pesticide residues using techniques such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

    4. Data interpretation: evaluation of results, including calculation of detection limits and reporting of findings.

    Instrumentation and Equipment

    The following instrumentation and equipment are required for ISO 23690 testing:

  • Gas chromatograph (GC) or liquid chromatograph (LC)

  • Mass spectrometer (MS) or tandem mass spectrometer (MS/MS)

  • Automated sampling system

  • Laboratory information management system (LIMS)

    • Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

    Eurolab follows strict SOPs when conducting ISO 23690 testing, including:

  • Calibration and validation of equipment and instruments

  • Use of certified reference materials and standard operating procedures

  • Regular monitoring and maintenance of laboratory equipment

    • Why This Test is Essential for Ensuring Product Safety

    ISO 23690 testing ensures that animal feed products are free from pesticide residues, which can pose significant risks to human health and the environment.

    In conclusion, ISO 23690 testing is essential for ensuring the safety and quality of animal feed products. By following strict QA and QC protocols, laboratories such as Eurolab can provide accurate and reliable results that protect both human health and the environment.

    Conducting ISO 23690 testing provides several benefits, including:
