Acephate was first evaluated in 1976, with further reviews of residue aspects in 1979, 1981, 1984, 1990 and 1994. The 1994 JMPR withdrew the previous recommendations for the MRLs for broccoli, Brussels sprouts, head cabbages, cauliflower, citrus fruits and tomato which had been held at Step 7B by the 1989 CCPR (ALINORM 89/24A, para 126). The manufacturer has indicated that information on GAP and residue data would be available to support new MRLs for these commodities. This information was provided to the Meeting, together with information on analytical methods and residues in food in commerce or at consumption.
