"With regard to organic fruit and vegetable products, the detection of phosphonic acid only at >0.01 mg / kg, in the absence of simultaneous detection of ethylphosphonic acid, is not a sufficient condition to exclude the use of technical means that are not permitted, or those that are allowed but not in conformity due to the non-declared presence of ethylphosphonic acid and / or phosphite-based products, and must lead to further in-depth analysis aimed at assessing the potential origins of the positivity detected. As an investigative instrument, it is suggested to acquire the list of technical means and production lots used by the farmer for fertilization and protection in the current year and for multi-year crops even in the previous years of the authors check for subsequent competence checks."

Our laboratory is accredited for the analysis of plant protection products (also known as technical means) intended for organic crops in the following categories: Microorganisms, Copper-Based products, Sulphur-Based products, Pyrethrin-Based products.
