The Report is a consolidated version of the past four years’ guidance defining the appropriate SSD codes (Standard Sample Description, version 1) to describe the samples and the analytical results, and it gives directions for the reporting of pesticide residues monitoring data starting with the data generated in 2018 onwards. These provisions take into account the experience of both the previous reporting seasons and the new legislation applicable in 2018.
This EFSA Guidance will not be applicable for the 2019 data collection provided to EFSA in 2020. In 2020, all data on annual monitoring will be transmitted in SSD2 format only.
