BS EN 15662:2018

This standard BS EN 15662:2018 Foods of plant origin. Multimethod for the determination of pesticide residues using GC- and LC-based analysis following acetonitrile extraction/partitioning and clean-up by dispersive SPE. Modular QuEChERS-method is classified in these ICS categories:

• 67.050 General methods of tests and analysis for food products

This European Standard stipulates a method for the analysis of pesticide residues in foods of plant origin, such as fruits (including dried fruits), vegetables (including dried vegetables), cereals and many processed products thereof by using GC, GC-MS(/MS), and/or LC-MS(/MS). The method has been collaboratively studied on a large number of commodity/pesticide combinations. Precision data are summarized in CEN/TR 17063. Guidelines for calibration are outlined in CEN/TS 17061.
