Division 2 Rules for interpretation of results

To ensure a level of confidence of approximately 95 %, the outcome of the analysis shall be reported as x +/– U whereby x is the analytical result for one measured transformation event and U is the appropriate expanded measurement uncertainty.

U shall be specified by the official laboratory for the whole analytical method and confirmed as described in the guidance document on Measurement Uncertainty for GMO testing laboratories^f1 developed by JRC.

A feed material, feed additive or, in the case of compound feed each of the feed material and feed additive of which it is composed shall be considered as non-compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1829/2003 when the analytical result (x) for one measured transformation event minus the expanded measurement uncertainty (U) equals or exceeds the level of 0,1 % related to mass fraction of GM material. When results are primarily expressed as GM-DNA copy numbers in relation to target taxon specific DNA copy numbers calculated in terms of haploid genomes, they shall be translated into mass fraction in accordance with the information provided in each validation report of the F1reference laboratory.
