Division I.1.4

Using the residue depletion data, the total residue burden in the standard food basket shall be calculated based on the observed residue levels at each time point on the residue depletion curve, so that the time point at which the total residue burden falls below the ADI is established. If the full ADI is available then these residue levels, rounded up as appropriate (usually to the nearest 50 μg/kg for tissues), shall be considered as potential MRLs. Consideration shall also be given to the factors listed under Section II points 1 to 7 and, if appropriate (e.g. if less than the full ADI is available), a subsequent time point on the residue depletion curve shall be used as the point from which to derive the MRLs.
