Overview

EN 1528-4:1996 (CEN) is part of the EN 1528 series and provides guidance on the determination of pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in fatty foodstuffs. This part specifies recommended analytical techniques, procedures for confirmation of results, and an additional clean‑up method adapted to high‑fat matrices. The published Slovenian adoption is listed as SIST EN 1528-4:1998.

Key Topics

  • Scope and purpose
    • Applies to the analysis of pesticides and PCBs in fatty foods, where lipid content can interfere with detection and quantification.
  • Recommended analytical techniques
    • Describes recommended approaches and methodological considerations for reliable measurement in fatty matrices (sample handling and preparation are emphasized).
  • Confirmatory tests
    • Defines procedures and criteria for confirming positive findings, reducing false positives through secondary verification steps.
  • Additional clean‑up procedure
    • Provides an extra clean‑up option to remove lipid interferences and improve analytical accuracy in high‑fat samples.
  • Practical quality considerations
    • Addresses aspects of method validation, reproducibility and the importance of following consistent procedures for comparable results.
  • Language and harmonization
    • Text is provided in multiple languages (English, German, French, Slovenian) in the adopted national version to support harmonized application across laboratories.

Applications

  • Food testing laboratories performing routine monitoring of pesticides and PCBs in dairy, oils, fatty meat products and similar matrices.
  • Regulatory authorities enforcing maximum residue limits (MRLs) and ensuring compliance with food safety legislation.
  • Food manufacturers and quality assurance teams implementing in‑house screening or confirmatory analysis workflows for incoming raw materials or finished products.
  • Contract testing and research institutions developing or validating methods for contaminants in fatty foods.

Using EN 1528-4 supports consistent, defensible results when analysing contaminants in high‑fat foods, helping laboratories reduce matrix effects and meet regulatory expectations.

Related Standards

  • Part of the EN 1528 series (reference: prEN 1528:1994) covering pesticides and PCBs in foods.
  • Classified under ICS 67.050: General methods of tests and analysis for food products.
  • National adoption: SIST EN 1528-4:1998 (Slovenia).
