Standard 1.4.2

Maximum Residue Limits

(Australia Only)

Purpose

This Standard lists the maximum permissible limits for agricultural and veterinary chemical residues present in food. Schedule 1 lists all of the agricultural and veterinary chemical limits in particular foods. If a maximum residue limit for an agricultural or veterinary chemical in a food is not listed in Schedule 1 there must be no detectable residues of that agricultural or veterinary chemical in that food. Schedule 2 lists all extraneous agricultural chemical limits in particular foods. If an extraneous residue limit for an agricultural chemical in a food is not listed in Schedule 2 there must be no detectable residues of that agricultural chemical in that food. Schedule 3 groups certain agricultural or veterinary chemicals according to their chemical groups. Commodity and commodity groups which are referred to in this Standard are listed in Schedule 4. Schedule 4 also specifies the part of the commodity to which the maximum or extraneous residue limit refers.

For New Zealand purposes, maximum residue limits for agricultural compounds are regulated in the New Zealand (Maximum Residue Limits of Agricultural Compounds) Mandatory Food Standard 1999 (and subsequent amendments) issued under sections 11C and 11Z of the Food Act 1981. Regulation 257 of the New Zealand Food Regulations 1984 also refers to MRLs, but if any inconsistency arises between Regulation 257 and the MRL Standard, the MRL Standard prevails.
