MRL: maximum residue level; GAP: Good Agricultural Practice; CXL: codex maximum residue limit.

* Indicates that the MRL is set at the limit of quantification.

a

Tentative MRL is derived from a GAP evaluated at EU level, which is not fully supported by data but for which no risk to consumers was identified (assuming the existing residue definition); CXL is not compatible with EU residue definitions (combination E‐II in Appendix E).

b

There are no relevant INDOOR authorisations or import tolerances reported at EU level; CXL is not compatible with EU residue definitions. Either a specific LOQ or the default MRL of 0.01 mg/kg may be considered (combination A‐II in Appendix E).

c

MRL is derived from a GAP evaluated at EU level, which is fully supported by data and for which no risk to consumers is identified; CXL is not compatible with EU residue definitions (combination G‐II in Appendix E).

d

GAP evaluated at EU level is not supported by data but no risk to consumers was identified for the existing EU MRL (also assuming the existing residue definition); CXL is not compatible with EU residue definitions (combination C‐II in Appendix E).

e

Tentative MRL is derived from a GAP evaluated at EU level, which is not fully supported by data but for which no risk to consumers was identified (assuming the existing residue definition); no CXL is available (combination E‐I in Appendix E).

f

MRL is derived from a GAP evaluated at EU level, which is fully supported by data and for which no risk to consumers is identified; no CXL is available (combination G‐I in Appendix E).

g

GAP evaluated at EU level is not supported by data but no risk to consumers was identified for the existing EU MRL (also assuming the existing residue definition); no CXL is available (combination C‐I in Appendix E).

h

GAP evaluated at EU level is not supported by data and a risk to consumers cannot be excluded for the existing EU MRL; no CXL is available. Either a specific LOQ or the default MRL of 0.01 mg/kg may be considered (combination B‐I in Appendix E).

i

There are no relevant INDOOR authorisations or import tolerances reported at EU level; no CXL is available. Either a specific LOQ or the default MRL of 0.01 mg/kg may be considered (combination A‐I in Appendix E).
