# Commission Regulation (EU) No 544/2011 of 10 June 2011 implementing Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the data requirements for active substances (Text with EEA relevance) (repealed), Division 4.2.1: Residues in and/or on plants, plant products, foodstuffs (of plant and animal origin), feedingstuffs

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

Methods submitted must be suitable for the determination of all components included in the residue definition as submitted in accordance with points 6.1 and 6.2 in order to enable competent authorities to determine compliance with established MRL’s or to determine dislodgeable residues.
The specificity of the methods must enable all components included in the residue definition to be determined, using an additional confirmatory method if appropriate.
The repeatability must be determined and reported. The replicate analytical portions for test can be prepared from a common field treated sample, containing incurred residues. Alternatively the replicate analytical portions for test can be prepared from a common untreated sample with aliquots fortified at the required level(s).
The results from an independent laboratory validation must be reported.
The limit of determination including the individual and mean recovery must be determined and reported. The overall relative standard deviation, as well as the relative standard deviation for each fortification level must be experimentally determined and reported.
