Division Aim of testsF1

The objectives of these studies are:

• to identify the major components of the total terminal residue in edible animal products,

• to quantify the rate of degradation and excretion of the total residue in certain animal products (milk or eggs) and excreta,

• to indicate the distribution of residues between relevant edible animal products,

• to quantify the major components of the residue and to show the efficiency of extraction procedures for these components,

• to generate data from which a decision on the need for livestock feeding studies as provided for in point 6.4 can be made,

• to decide on the definition and expression of a residue.
