Objective
Background According to Directive 96/27/EC, the quality of aquaculture products has to be controlled for residues of various veterinary drugs, including antibiotics. Actually no certified reference material is commercially available for veterinary drug residues in fish sample and no harmonisation has been possible between the different analytical methods used in this area. Therefore reference materials are needed for the fish industry (aquaculture and feed production), food control laboratories and environmental laboratories. Objectives The main objective of the project is the preparation of two certified reference materials, one for residues of oxolinic acid and one for the residues of flumequine in salmon muscle.
Work programme: The four years project will be divided in different work packages: a feasibility study, two interlaboratory studies and the certification exercise. As the incurred fish muscles have unknown concentration of analytes, the interlaboratory studies and certification will be established on the basis of independent measurements. The consortium, involved in the project, includes 20 laboratories using different analytical methods, calibrants, and quantitation techniques (HPLC and LC-MS). The feasibility study will test the homogeneity of the materials and estimate the best way of keeping the materials for a long period. In the first interlaboratory study, the participants will analyse a synthetic solution with a common calibrant and their own calibrant. During the second interlaboratory study, the participants will analyse a blank fish muscle, a spiked fish extract, and an incurred fish muscle. For the certification, a spiked fish extract, a fish material incurred with oxolinic acid and a fish material incurred with flumequine will be analysed by all participants under reproducibility conditions. The certified reference materials, namely 1000 units of fish material incurred with oxolinic acid and 1000 units incurred with flumequine, will be send to IRMM as soon as the experimental work for the certification is completed. The project commenced on 1st November 1998.
