BS EN 15662 discusses foods of plant origin. BS EN 15662 is a European standard that specifies multimethod for the determination of pesticide residues in foods of plant origin to ensure it is safe for consumption.
BS EN 15662 stipulates a method for the analysis of pesticide residues in foods of plant origin, such as fruits (including dried fruits), vegetables (including dried vegetables), cereals, and many
processed products thereof by using GC, GC-MS(/MS), and/or LC-MS(/MS).
The method specified by BS EN 15662 has been collaboratively studied on many commodity/pesticide combinations.
Note: Precision data are summarized in CEN/TR 17063. Guidelines for calibration are outlined in CEN/TS 17061.
BS EN 15662 on multimethod for the determination of pesticide residues in foods of plant origin is useful for:
Pesticide residue refers to the pesticides that may remain on or in food after they are applied to food crops. QuEChERS is a sample preparation technique that vastly simplifies the analysis of pesticide residues.
BS EN 15662 provides you with sample processing and storage procedures, identification and quantification of analytes, evaluation of results, calculation of residue concentration, precision, and much more.
The methods and procedures provided by BS EN 15662 assist in determining the pesticide residues in foods of plant origin to minimize the health effects including cancer, effects on reproduction, immune or nervous systems.
By adopting BS EN 15662 the user can improve the quality of food and help enhance the product’s standard and quality.
