Foreword

In 2013, the Philippine Council for Agriculture and Fisheries - Committee on Fruits and

Vegetables (PCAF- CFA) requested the establishment of a national standard on

developments in the MRLs set by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, ASEAN, and

other trading partner countries. A Technical Working Group (TWG) was created

through Special Order No. 81, series of 2021, (Creation of Technical Working Groups

TWG for the Development of PNS for Agriculture and Fishery Products, Machinery,

and Equipment), which is composed of representatives from relevant government

agencies, academe, and private sector. The draft standard was discussed in a series

of TWG meetings and a stakeholder consultation (held September 30, 2021)

conducted via online platforms. The TWG finalized the draft PNS before its

endorsement to the DA Secretary for approval.

This Standard cancel and replaces PNS/BAFPS 160:2015 which has been technically

amended. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the BPS

Directives Part 2.
