Synopsis (short abstract) The FAO Manual on the submission and evaluation of pesticide residues data for the estimation of maximum residue levels in food and feed contains general principle of the work undertaken by JMPR, is the continuous evaluation of new scientific developments and guidance documents. The Manual gives the historical background of the operation of the JMPR and describes the purpose of the work, the procedures involved in selection of compounds, the data requirements for estimating maximum residue l evels and the principles followed in the evaluation of experimental results and information provided. The Manual is also used by countries as a guidance document in residue evaluation and MRL setting. This 3rd edition of the FAO Manual incorporates the current working principles applied by the FAO Panel for evaluation of pesticide residues to recommend maximum residue levels, STMR and HR values and to assess the dietary exposure of consumers. In addition to the general updating of the text, t he third edition contains new methodologies /principles developed in recent 5 years.

    FAO Training Manual on Evaluation of Pesticide Residues for Estimation of Maximum Residue Levels and Calculation of Dietary Intake was developed to introduce trainees to the procedures and practices of residue evaluation in JMPR. The content of the manual has been updated and revised in the light of experience at training workshops and the continuously evolving working principles of the FAO Panel of the FAO/WHO Joint Meeting on Pesticide Residues, which are described in the 3rd edition of the FA O manual on the submission and evaluation of pesticide residues data for the estimation of maximum residue levels in food and feed (2015).

    FAO’s Plant Production and Protection Division (NSP) and the FAO Regional project entitled “Enhancing Capacity in Codex for Effective Participation and Contribution of Selected Countries in Asia (GCP/RAS/278/JPN)”, FAO Office for Asia and the Pacific (FAORAP) jointly organized the regional workshop entitled “Pesticide residue risk assessment and the elaboration of Codex Maximum Residue Limits”. The objectives of the workshop were to provide participants with: • to strengthen the capabilities of participating countries in evaluation of residue data; • to update their knowledge of the assessment of risks associated with dietary exposure of pesticide residues; and • to upgrade the capacity of participating countries in establishment of Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) in food and feed.A total of 23 officials in charge of pesticide residue risk assessment from eleven Asian countries (Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Pakistan Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Viet Nam) participated in the workshop, with technical input provided by Dr Yukiko Yamada, JMPR expert, and Dr Guibiao Ye, FAO JMPR secretariat.The workshop evaluation results revealed that the participants were satisfied and gave excellent ratings for the workshop quality. The knowledge obtained from this workshop was considered very useful for their work. This workshop has enhanced their understanding on how Codex elaborates Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for pesticides in food and feed, data required for elaboration of Codex MRLs, as well as, How the FAO Panel of JMPR (responsible for residue data evaluation) evaluates information for estimating of maximum residue levels and calculation of dietary exposure. The group exercises provided an opportunity for the participants to conduct this evaluation. The workshop also raised awareness of the importance of data contribution from Codex members as participants requested the project to organize workshop related to data submission to JMPR for evaluation to establishment of Codex MRLs.

    Evaluation of pesticides residues for estimation of maximum residue levels and calculation of dietary intake - Training manual 2011
    Also available in:

    This pesticide residue training manual was developed to introduce trainees to the procedures and practices of residue evaluation in JMPR. It was first prepared for a training workshop in Budapest in November 2010. It has now been edited and compiled into a single document. The first part (Chapters 1 to 13) covers the relevant topics. They are illustrated by many examples taken from JMPR Reports and Evaluations. The Exercises provide the introduction and background suitable for practi cal exercises by small teams at a training workshop. The Presentations are PowerPoint versions of lecture topics for the training workshop. Because pesticide evaluation has developed its own terminology where many acronyms and abbreviations have their own special meaning, at the end of each chapter is a list of those used in the chapter as an encouragement for workshop trainees to become familiar with them.
