United Kingdom
| Parameter | Criterion |
|---|---|
| Applicability | Foods specified in this Regulation |
| Specificity | Free from matrix or spectral interferences |
| Field blanks | Less than Limit of Detection (LOD) |
| Repeatability (RSDr) | 0,66 times RSDR as derived from (modified) Horwitz equation |
| Reproducibility (RSDR) | as derived from (modified) Horwitz equation |
| Recovery | 75-110 % |
| Limit of Detection (LOD) | Three tenths of LOQ |
| Limit of Quantification (LOQ) | For benchmark level < 125 μg/kg: ≤ two fifths of the benchmark level (however not required to be lower than 20 μg/kg) For benchmark level ≥ 125 μg/kg: ≤ 50 μg/kg |
