This is a Regulation originating from the EU
This is a legislation item that originated from the EU
After exit day there will be three versions of this legislation to consult for different purposes. The legislation.gov.uk version is the version that applies in the UK. The EU Version currently on EUR-lex is the version that currently applies in the EU i.e you may need this if you operate a business in the EU.
The web archive version is the official version of this legislation item as it stood on exit day before being published to legislation.gov.uk and any subsequent UK changes and effects applied. The web archive also captured associated case law and other language formats from EUR-Lex.
Changes over time for: Division 6.1.
Changes to legislation:
There are outstanding changes not yet made to Commission Regulation (EU) No 283/2013. Any changes that have already been made to the legislation appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.

6.1. Storage stability of residues U.K.
Studies concerning storage stability of residues shall investigate the stability of residues in plants, plant products and products of animal origin during storage prior to analysis.
Circumstances in which required U.K.
Provided that samples are frozen within 24 hours after sampling and unless a compound is otherwise known to be volatile or labile, stability data shall not be required for samples extracted and analysed within 30 days from sampling (six months in the case of radio-labelled material).
The stability of extracts shall be investigated if extracts are not analysed immediately.
Test conditions U.K.
Studies with non-radio-labelled active substances shall be carried out with representative substrates. They may be either performed on samples from treated crops or animals with incurred residues or by fortification experiments. In the latter case, aliquots of prepared control samples shall be spiked with a known amount of chemical before storage under normal storage conditions.
The studies shall address stability of individual components of the residue definition relevant to risk assessment, which may require spiking different samples with different analytes. In case of different analytical targets (for example targeting either single compounds or a common moiety) more than one set of storage stability data may be needed.
The duration of the stability studies shall be suitable to address the length over which the samples or extracts have been stored in the corresponding studies.
Detailed information with respect to the sample preparation and storage conditions (temperature and duration) of samples and extracts shall be submitted. Where the degradation during storage is significant (more than 30%) a change in the storage conditions or not storing the samples prior to analysis shall be considered. All studies where unsatisfactory storage conditions were used shall be repeated.
Storage stability data using sample extracts shall also be required unless samples are analysed within 24 hours of extraction.
Results shall be presented as absolute values in mg/kg and not adjusted by recovery, as well as percentage of nominal spike value.
