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

*

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

F

The residue definition is fat soluble.

a

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; existing CXL is covered by the recommended MRL (combination H‐III in Appendix E). It is noted that spirodiclofen is classified as carcinogenic category 1B with a threshold, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

b

MRL is derived from the existing CXL, which is supported by data and for which no risk to consumers is identified; there are no relevant authorisations or import tolerances reported at EU level (combination A‐VII in Appendix E). It is noted that spirodiclofen is classified as carcinogenic category 1B with a threshold, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

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; no CXL is available (combination H‐I in Appendix E). It is noted that spirodiclofen is classified as carcinogenic category 1B with a threshold, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

d

There are no relevant 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).

e

CXL of 0.03* mg/kg was rounded up to the LOQ of 0.05* mg/kg, which was proposed by EURLs at EU level for enforcement of this matrix.

f

CXL of 0.004* mg/kg was rounded up to the LOQ of 0.005* mg/kg, which was the LOQ of the method evaluated at EU level for enforcement of this matrix.
