BS EN 12396-3:2000

This standard BS EN 12396-3:2000 Non-fatty foods. Determination of dithiocarbamate and thiuram disulfide residues is classified in these ICS categories:

• 67.050 General methods of tests and analysis for food products

This European Standard specifies a UV spectrometric method for the determination of low-level residues of dithiocarbamate and thiuram disulfide fungicides as xanthogenate. Dithiocarbamate and thiuram disulfide fungicides release carbon disulfide under specified conditions (e.g. mancozeb, maneb, propineb, thiram, zineb). It is applicable to such compounds especially in and on those foodstuffs of plant origin for which low maximum residue levels have been set.
