# Commission Regulation (EC) No 401/2006 of 23 February 2006 laying down the methods of sampling and analysis for the official control of the levels of mycotoxins in foodstuffs (Text with EEA relevance), Division 4.4.2: Screening methods

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The result of the screening shall be expressed as compliant or suspected to be non-compliant.
‘ Suspected to be non-compliant ’ means the sample exceeds the cut-off level and may contain the mycotoxin at a level higher than the STC. Any suspect result triggers a confirmatory analysis for unambiguous identification and quantification of the mycotoxin.
‘ Compliant ’ means that the mycotoxin content in the sample is < STC with a certainty of 95 % (i.e. there is a 5 % chance that samples will be incorrectly reported as negative). The analytical result is reported as ‘ < level of STC ’ with the level of STC specified.
