a

Code of the RPC as defined by EFSA's harmonised terminology for scientific research (MATRIX catalogue; EFSA, 2019d).

b

Name of the RPC as defined by EFSA's harmonised terminology for scientific research (MATRIX catalogue; EFSA, 2019d).

c

Commodity classification defined by Table 4 of the Annex to Commission Directive 2002/63/EC.

d

Minimum size of each laboratory sample (expressed in g) defined by Table 4 of the Annex to Commission Directive 2002/63/EC.

e

Minimum size of each laboratory sample (expressed in number of units) defined by Table 4 of the Annex to Commission Directive 2002/63/EC.

f

Estimated weight (expressed in g) for a single commodity unit as reported in the Pesticide Residues Intake Model (EFSA, 2018a).

g

Estimated number of units required to obtain the minimum size of a laboratory sample, both in terms of weight and number of units.

h

Default VF as reported in the Pesticide Residues Intake Model (EFSA, 2018a). This factor represents the variability among the single unit concentrations, which is defined as the ratio between the 97.5th percentile and mean of the distribution of unit concentrations.

i

Computed α parameter of the beta distribution.

j

Computed β parameter of the beta distribution.
