PF: Processing factor (= Residue level in processed commodity expressed according to RD‐Mo/Residue level in raw commodity expressed according to RD‐Mo); CFp: Conversion factor for risk assessment in processed commodity (= Residue level in processed commodity expressed according to RD‐RA/Residue level in processed commodity expressed according to RD‐Mo).

a

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

b

Median of the individual conversion factors for each processing residues trial.

c

A tentative PF is derived based on a limited data set and pending additional information to conclude on the nature of residues in processed commodities.
