 Established Maximum Resi due Limit: Tembotrione 
The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL) document for tembotrione notified in 
G/SPS/N/CAN/939 (dated 26 June 2015) was adopted 21 September 2015. The proposed MRL was

MRL (ppm) Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity 
0.011 Sweet corn kernels plus cob with husks removed 
ppm = parts per million 
1 The MRL of 0.01 ppm for residues of tembotrione only is proposed to replace the established MRL of 0.04 pm 
for the combined residues of tembotrione and the metabolite 2-[2-chloro-4- (methylsulfonyl)-3-[2,2,2-
trifluoroethoxy)methyl]benzoyl]-4,6- dihydroxycyclohexane-1,3-dione for sweet corn kernels plus cob with 
husks removed.
