The OECD MRL Calculator was published on the OECD website March 3, 2011. Encouraged by both authorities and industry groups, such as Crop Life International, regulatory authorities in both OECD and many non-OECD countries and groups have started using the OECD Calculator to set new MRLs and re-establish existing MRLs for many crops and commodities. The OECD MRL Calculator provides a single global procedure for setting MRLs, which is one important element in achieving global harmonization of pesticide standards. More than one year after its adoption, the honeymoon is over, and the reviews are in. How has the OECD MRL Calculator performed in the real World? How has the use of the OECD Calculator impacted policy and procedure internationally? It is time to read the first report card.
