MRL: maximum residue level; CXL: codex maximum residue limit.

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

The residue definition is fat soluble.

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

GAP evaluated at EU level is not fully supported by data and a risk to consumers cannot be excluded; 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 E‐II in Appendix I).

Option 1: MRL based on the authorised use for carbendazim, assuming that the authorised use of thiophanate‐methyl will be withdrawn.

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; no CXL is available (combination F‐I in Appendix I). It is noted that carbendazim is classified as toxic for reproduction category 1B in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

Option 2: MRL based on the authorised use for thiophanate‐methyl, assuming that the authorised use of carbendazim will be withdrawn.

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; CXL is not compatible with EU residue definitions (combination F‐II in Appendix I). It is noted that carbendazim is classified as toxic for reproduction category 1B in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

There are no import tolerances reported at EU level; no CXL is available or 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‐I/II in Appendix I).
