Concentration limits data formats

The concentration limits table describes limit values (e.g., MRLs) for specific food/substance combinations. This data may be used, for instance, for the food/substance combinations for which no concentration data is available. The food codes (idFood) and substance codes (idSubstance) should match the codes of the foods and substances table respectively.

Concentration limits

Concentration limits are concentration limit values for specific food and substance combinations originating from regulations (e.g., MRLs). This data may be used, for instance, for the food/substance combinations for which no concentration data is available.

Concentration limits

The food codes (idFood) and substance codes (idSubstance) should match the codes of the foods and substances table respectively.
