FAO / WHO : Manual on the development and use of FAO and WHO specifications for pesticides [1st edition, 3rd revision, 2016]

Description:

FAO/WHO specifications are intended for quality assurance and risk management. The hazards and risks associated with pesticides are considered, for specification purposes, by the WHO Programme on Chemical Safety (WHO/PCS). This involves provision of an opinion by WHO/PCS on summary data, which takes account of evaluations by the FAO/WHO Joint Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR) and/or national registration authorities. In the absence of evaluation by bodies such as these, the WHO/PCS conducts a detailed assessment of original studies before the JMPR proceeds with the development of specifications.

Why this Tool/Guidance?

These specifications are useful for the quality control.
