EUROPE: Update of analytical guidance document for residues
28 February 2020
The reference document of Good Experimental Practice (GEP) related to the accreditation to conduct officially recognised efficacy trials (Revision of 2 February 2020) supersedes the same guidance document (Revision of 1 November 2013) from 1st June 2020. This document is the French Reference document on Good Experimental Practice according to EPPO Standard PP 1/181 in accordance with Section 6 of the annex to regulation (EU) No. 284/2013 of 1 March 2013.
Main changes with respect to the previous version are:
– Update of the method to register officially recognised efficacy trials using SIDEP system (‘Système d’Information pour la Déclaration des Essais de Produits’) on ANSES website instead of COLEOR website. Also, this declaration (or other elements transmitted to allow this declaration) must be kept for at least 5 years.
– Deletion of the term “trials series” in the guidance document.
– Regarding staff monitoring, authorisation and aptitude must be reviewed periodically and their skills confirmed. Also, company must ensure of the homogeneity of practices between operators (observations and assessments).
– The map for access to the trial and trial map must be precise enough to know exactly the trial location.
– More details relating to crop destruction are awaited (such as, the name of the responsible person , the estimated quantity, the date and the method of destruction ). In addition, the destruction method must be defined in the trial protocol.
– All information related to subcontracted services (trial and data phases ) and subcontractor legal name must be clearly indicated in the trial dossier and trial report.
– When a material or an equipment is defective and out of order, it must be identified as such in order to avoid its use and this, until its return to service.
– All information related to artificial contaminations must be clearly indicated and described in the trial dossier.
