Comprehensive Guide to OECD 511 Residue Testing for Pesticides in Horticultural Crops Laboratory Testing Service

Provided by Eurolab

The OECD 511 Residue Testing for Pesticides in Horticultural Crops is a laboratory testing service that adheres to the guidelines outlined in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) test guideline no. 511. This guideline provides a framework for evaluating the residues of pesticides on horticultural crops, ensuring their safety for human consumption.

Relevant Standards:

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

  • ASTM E1753-01 Standard Practice for Reporting Results of Tests and Calibration of Laboratory Measuring and Test Equipment

  • EN 14644-1:2019 Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments - Part 1: Classification of air cleanliness

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) ISO/IEC 17025:2017

    • Legal and Regulatory Framework:

    The OECD 511 Residue Testing for Pesticides in Horticultural Crops is governed by various international and national regulations, including:

  • EU Regulation (EC) No. 396/2005 on Maximum Residues of Pesticides in or on Foodstuffs

  • US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA)

  • OECD Council Decision C(2004)150/FINAL on the Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD)

    • Standard Development Organizations:

    The development and maintenance of standards are carried out by organizations such as:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

    The OECD 511 Residue Testing for Pesticides in Horticultural Crops involves the following steps:

    1. Sample Preparation:

    Selection of representative samples from horticultural crops

    Sample collection, storage, and transportation to Eurolab

    2. Testing Equipment and Instruments:

    Use of accredited and calibrated equipment (e.g., gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer)

    Maintenance and calibration of testing instruments according to manufacturers guidelines

    3. Testing Environment Requirements:

    Temperature control within 1C of the set point

    Humidity control between 40 and 60

    4. Measurement and Analysis Methods:

    Use of validated analytical methods (e.g., gas chromatography-mass spectrometry)

    Calculation of pesticide residues using certified reference materials

    Reporting Results:

    Eurolab reports the results in accordance with OECD guidelines, including:

  • Quantification of pesticide residues

  • Evaluation of sample acceptability and representativeness

  • Reporting of analytical limits of detection (LOD) and quantitation (LOQ)
