ANNEX I: ADIs, MRLs and STMRs

ACCEPTABLE DAILY INTAKES, RESIDUE LIMITS AND SUPERVISED TRIALS MEDIAN RESIDUES PROPOSED AT THE 1996 MEETING

The Table of recommendations includes maximum Acceptable Daily Intakes (ADIs) and Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs). It should be noted that MRLs include draft MRLs and Codex MRLs (CXLs). The MRLs recommended by the JMPR on the basis of its estimates of maximum residue levels enter the Codex procedure as draft MRLs. They become Codex MRLs when they have passed through the procedure and have been adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission.

In general, the recommended MRLs listed for compounds which have been reviewed previously are additional to, or amend, those recorded in the reports of earlier Meetings. For compounds re-evaluated in the CCPR periodic review programme however, both new and previous recommendations are listed because such re-evaluations are regarded as replacing the original evaluation rather than supplementing it.

Some ADIs may be temporary: this is indicated by the letter T and the year in which re-evaluation is scheduled in parenthesis below the ADI. All recommended MRLs for compounds with temporary ADIs are necessarily temporary, but some recommendations are designated as temporary (TMRLs) until required information has been provided and evaluated, irrespective of the status of the ADI. Such recommendations are followed by the letter T in the table. (See also the list of qualifications and abbreviations below.)

In response to recommendations of a Joint FAO/WHO Consultation on Guidelines for predicting the Dietary Intake of Pesticide Residues held in York, the UK, in 1995, the 1996 Meeting has extended its estimations of residues to include calculations of the median residues found in supervised trials (STMRs) in order to provide a basis for the estimation of the dietary intake of the pesticides reviewed. The estimated STMRs are included in the Table of ADIs and MRLs. Further details of the response of the Meeting to the York Consultation are given in Section 2.2.1 of this report, and information about an informal workshop held in The Hague, The Netherlands, in April 1996 to consider the implementation of its recommendations by the JMPR in Section 2.2.3. The report of this Workshop is reproduced as Annex IV.

Attention is drawn to Section 3.1 of this report: 'Definition of the residues of fat-soluble compounds'. Residues of such compounds are distinguished in the Table of Recommendations by the parenthetic note '(fat-soluble residue)' on a line below the residue definition.

The following qualifications and abbreviations are used.

* following recommended MRL

At or about the limit of determination

* following name of pesticide

New compound

** following name of pesticide

Compound reviewed in CCPR periodic review programme

E

Extraneous Residue Limit (ERL).

F following recommendations for milk

The residue is fat-soluble and MRLs for milk and milk products are derived as explained in the introduction to Part 2 of the Guide to Codex Maximum Limits for Pesticide Residues and to Volume II of the Codex Alimentarius.

(fat) following recommendations for meat

The recommendation applies to the fat of the meat.

Po

The recommendation accommodates post-harvest treatment of the commodity.

PoP following recommendations for processed foods (classes D and E in the Codex Classification)

The recommendation accommodates post-harvest treatment of the primary food commodity.

STMR

Supervised Trial Median Residue (see explanation on previous page).

STMR-P

An STMR for a processed commodity calculated by applying the mean concentration or reduction factor for the process to the STMR calculated for the raw agricultural commodity.

T following ADIs

The ADI is temporary, and due for re-evaluation in the year indicated.

T following MRLs

The MRL is temporary, irrespective of the status of the ADI, until required information has been provided and evaluated.

V following recommendations for commodities of animal origin

The recommendation accommodates veterinary uses.

W in place of an MRL

The previous recommendation is withdrawn.

If a recommended MRL is an amendment, the previous value is also recorded. The absence of a figure in the "Previous" column indicates that the recommendation is the first for the commodity or group concerned.

The Table includes the Codex Classification Numbers (CCNs) of both the compounds and the commodities listed, to facilitate reference to the Guide to Codex Maximum Limits for Pesticide Residues and other Codex documents.

Commodities are listed in alphabetical order. This is a change from earlier practice where commodities were listed in the order of the "Types" in the Codex Classification of Foods and Animal Feeds, and in alphabetical order within each Type. The change was made to facilitate checking and comparison with the CCPR Tables of MRLs, which are in alphabetical order.

Residue

total dithiocarbamates, determined as CS2 evolved during acid digestion and expressed as mg CS2/kg

Notes

MRLs refer to total residues from the use of any or each of the groups of dithiocarbamates

1 The estimated temporary maximum residue level for dithiocarbamates arising from the use of ziram is 10 mg/kg, but the current draft MRL of 20 mg/kg recommended by the 1993 JMPR should be maintained to accommodate uses of maneb

2 Based on trials with mb maneb, mz mancozeb, mt metiram, pb propineb, th thiram, zm ziram Underlined compounds are those on which estimates of maximum residue levels are mainly based

3 The estimated maximum residue level for dithiocarbamates arising from the Use of thiram on plums and cherries is 1 mg/kg, but a TMRL of 7 mg/kg is recommended to accommodate uses of ziram on stone fruits
