Concentration models tiers
In addition to the possibility for users to work with their own choices for all settings, MCRA implements four tiers from two documents:
The optimistic and pessimistic basic assessments from the EFSA 2012 Guidance on the Use of Probabilistic Methodology for Modelling Dietary Exposure to Pesticide Residues (EFSA (2012)).
Tier 1 and 2 from the European Commission working document SANTE-2015-10216 rev. 7 (2018) on risk management aspects related to the assessment of cumulative exposure (EC (2018)).
