Division Circumstances in which required

Studies on the nature of residues in processing shall be provided where residues in products of plant or animal origin subject to processing may occur at a level of or higher than 0,01 mg/kg (based on the residue definition for risk assessment for the raw commodity). No studies shall, however, be required in the following cases:

• substances with a water solubility < 0,01 mg/L;

• only simple physical operations, not involving a change in temperature of the commodity are carried out, such as washing, trimming or pressing; or

• the distribution of residues between pulp and inedible peel is the only effect of processing.
