GAP: Good Agricultural Practice; OECD: Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development; MRL: maximum residue level.
Mo: residue levels expressed according to the monitoring residue definition; RA: residue levels expressed according to risk assessment residue definition.
Indicates that the MRL is proposed at the limit of quantification.
NEU: Outdoor trials conducted in northern Europe, SEU: Outdoor trials conducted in southern Europe, EU: indoor EU trials, Country code: if non‐EU trials.
Highest residue. The highest residue for risk assessment (RA) refers to the whole commodity and not to the edible portion.
Supervised trials median residue. The median residue for risk assessment (RA) refers to the whole commodity and not to the edible portion.
Tentative MRL in the absence of sufficient number of GAP‐compliant trials.
Residue value < LOD (0.005 mg/kg) of risk assessment method used in residue trials.
Selected value corresponds to higher residue levels observed at a longer PHI.
Tentative MRL in the absence of GAP‐compliant trials.
A tentative MRL is derived in view of the future need to set MRLs in livestock feed items.
