Recommendations

On the basis of the data from supervised trials the Meeting estimated the maximum residue levels listed below, which are recommended for use as TMRLs. The estimates are temporary pending the review of data on environmental fate. Consolidated recommendations for MRLs for dithiocarbamates are listed in the monograph on dithiocarbamates.

Definition of the residue

For compliance with MRLs: The MRLs refer to total dithiocarbamates, determined as CS₂ evolved during acid digestion and expressed as mg CS₂/kg.

For estimation of dietary intake: ziram.

Residues expressed as ziram may be calculated from residues expressed as CS₂ from the relation ziram = CS₂ x 2.01.
