a

Studies with residues in the RAC at or close to the LOQ were disregarded (unless concentration may occur).

b

Conversion factor for risk assessment in the processed commodity; median of the individual conversion factors for each processing study.

c

Since residues were not analysed for parent compound, the processing factor is calculated according to the residue definition for risk assessment and is indicative only.

d

Since residues were analysed only according to the risk assessment residue definition, a conversion factor from enforcement to risk assessment of 1 is proposed.
