 NOTIFICATION 
Addendum 
The following communication, received on 15 February 2013, is being circulated at the 
request of the Delegation of Canada. 
 
_______________ 
 
 Established Maximum Residue Limit: Metalaxyl 
 The proposed maximum resi due limit (PMRL) document for Metalaxyl notified in 
G/SPS/N/CAN/642 (dated 21 November 2012) was adopted 12 February 2013. The proposed MRLs 
were established via entry into the Maximum Residue Limits Database, are provided directly below and are legally in effect as of the publication date in the MRL Database. 
MRL (ppm)  Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity 
0.1 Rapeseed Subgroup (Crop Subgroup 20A)a, mustard seeds (condiment type)b 
ppm = parts per million 
a An MRL of 0.1 ppm is currently established for "rapeseeds (canola)". This action proposes to 
extend the same MRL to the remaining food commodities within Crop Subgroup 20A.  
b An MRL of 0.1 ppm is currently established for "mustard seeds". This action proposes to replace 
the "mustard seeds" commodity descriptor with specific MRLs for each of the condiment and 
oilseed types. Oilseed type mustard seeds are captured under Crop Subgroup 20A and condiment 
type is listed above. 
 MRLs are proposed for each commodity included  in the listed crop groupings in accordance 
with the Residue Chemistry Crop Groups  webpage (" http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-
spc/pest/part/protect-proteger/food-nourriture/rccg-gcpcr-eng.php ") in the Pesticides and Pest 
Management section of Health Canada's website. 
 MRLs established in Canada may be found using Health Canada's Maximum Residue Limit 
Database  (http://pr-rp.hc-sc.gc.ca/mrl-lrm/index-eng.php ) on the Maximum Residue Limits for 
Pesticides  webpage (" http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/pe st/part/protect- proteger/food-
nourriture/mrl-lmr-eng.php "). The database allows users to search for pesticides(s) or for food 
commodity(ies).
