Commodity Region/indoora Residue levels observed in the supervised residue trials (mg/kg) Comments/Source Calculated MRL (mg/kg) HRb (mg/kg) STMRc (mg/kg)
Table and wine grapes NEU EFSA (2015): 2 × < 0.001; 6 × < 0.01; < 0.04; 14 × < 0.05 Residue trials on wine grapes compliant with GAP. Extrapolation to table grapes for which the GAP is less critical is possible because residue levels are < LOQ (EFSA, 2015) 0.05 * 0.05 0.05

EFSA (2015): Unscaled residues: 2 × < 0.01; 0.01; 0.02; 0.04; 0.05; 0.65

Scaled residues (sf 0.75): 2 × < 0.01; 0.0075; 0.15; 0.03; 0.0375; 0.488

Austria (2019): 2 × < 0.01; 0.021; 0.049; 0.47

Residue trials on spinaches compliant with GAP. Trials evaluated in the framework of the MRL review (EFSA, 2015) were overdosed (240 g a.s./ha instead of 180 g a.s./ha). A scaling factor (sf) of 0.75 was applied to derive the scaled residue values for these trials which were used in the present assessment 0.9 0.49 0.02

* Indicates that the MRL is proposed at the limit of quantification (EFSA, 2015). Values in bold are the final MRL proposals.

a

NEU: Outdoor trials conducted in northern Europe, SEU: Outdoor trials conducted in southern Europe, Indoor: indoor EU trials or Country code: if non‐EU trials.

b

Highest residue. The highest residue for risk assessment refers to the whole commodity and not to the edible portion.

c

Supervised trials median residue. The median residue for risk assessment refers to the whole commodity and not to the edible portion.

Supervised trials median residue according to the residue definition for monitoring.
