Regular notification 2016-04-08
G/SPS/N/CAN/1008

Description

The objective of the notified document PMRL2016-09 is to consult on the listed import maximum residue limits (MRLs) for cyprodinil that have been proposed by the Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA).
MRL (ppm) Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity
30 Leaf petioles (Crop Subgroup 4B)
10 Pomegranates
4.0 Globe artichokes
3.01 Small fruit vine climbing, except fuzzy kiwifruit (Crop Subgroup 13-07F)
2.02 Stone fruits (Crop Group 12-09)
1.5 Guavas
1.03 Head and stem Brassica (Crop Subgroup 5A)
0.14 Pistachio nuts
ppm = parts per million
1 The MRL is proposed to replace the currently established MRL of 2.0 ppm in/on CSG 13-07F.
2 The current MRL of 2.0 ppm in/on CG 12 will be extended to the revised CG 12-09.
3 The current MRL of 1.0 ppm in/on cabbage will be extended to CSG 5A.
4 The MRL is proposed to replace the currently established MRL of 0.05 ppm.
MRLs are proposed for each commodity included in the listed crop groupings in accordance with the Residue Chemistry Crop Groups webpage (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/pest/part/protect-proteger/food-nourriture/rccg-gcpcr-eng.php) in the Pesticides and Pest Management section of Health Canada's website.
