Public consultation on the draft guidance document of the EFSA Panel on Plant Protection Products and their Residues on the establishment of the residue definition for dietary risk assessment
EFSA's has launched a public consultation on the draft guidance document of the EFSA Panel on Plant Protection Products and their Residues on the establishment of the residue definition for dietary risk assessment. This document provides a framework for harmonizing the process of the establishment of the residue definition for dietary risk assessment by inclusion/exclusion of pesticide residues on the basis of their toxicity and potential for exposure in the diet. The guidance document is complemented by three practical case studies which are intended to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach.
It is noted that the chapter of uncertainties is under development and its finalization is pending the ongoing work on a guidance document of EFSA’s Scientific Committee on uncertainty in Scientific Assessment.
