6. Description of content:  This Draft resolution incorporates the following changes for the 
active ingredient M45 – MANDIPROPAMIDA  (mandipropamid) from the Relation of 
Monographies of Active Ingredient s of Pesticides, Household Cleaning Products and Wood 
Preservers, all  in the modality of foliar use (application):  
− includes the avocado, pineapple, soursop, cocoa, cupuacu, guarana, kiwi, lychee, 
macadmia nuts, mango, passion fruit, and pomogrante cultures  with MRL of 2,0 
mg/kg and safety security period of 1 day;  
− includes the grape culture with MRL of 0,6 mg/kg and safety security period of 7 
days;  
− includes the chard, watercress, witloof chicory, chicory, mustard and arugula 
cultures MRL of 3,0 mg/kg and s afety security period of 3 days;  
− includes the garlic and shallot cultures with MRL of 0,5 mg/kg and safety security 
period 2 days;  
− includes the chayote and gherkin cultures with MRL 0,3 mg/kg and safety security 
period of 1 day;  
− includes the chinese -cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage cultures with MRL 
of 6,0 mg/kg and safety security period of 3 days;  G/SPS/N/BRA/1831

  − includes the phrase: "I) Acute Reference Dose (ARfD) : "Not applicable" (source: 
JMPR*, 2018)".  
− includes the phrase: "*The Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on  Pesticide Residues"  
− includes the phrase : "for the purpose of residue definition for conformity to MRL 
and dietary risk assessment, it will be considered the sum of the active ingredient 
mandipropamid and its metabolite  SYN 500003 (4 -chloro -phenyl) -prop-2-
ynyloxy -acetic acid (Nº CAS 655223 -09-9) for roots and tubers; and  
mandipropamid for the other crops."  
7. Objective and rationale: [X]  food safety, [  ] animal health, [  ] plant protection, 
[ ] protect humans from animal/plant pest or disease, [  ] protect  territory from 
other damage from pests.   
8. Is there a relevant international standard? If so, identify the standard:  
[X] Codex Alimentarius Commission (e.g.  title or serial number of Codex 
standard or related text) : CAC/MRL 1 Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for 
Pesticides  
[ ] World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) (e.g.  Terrestrial or Aquatic 
Animal Health Code, chapter number) :  
[ ] International Plant Protection Convention (e.g.  ISPM number) :  
[ ] None  
Does this proposed regulation conform  to the relevant international standard?  
[ ] Yes   [X] No  
If no, describe, whenever possible, how and why it deviates from the 
international standard:  The scientific methodology used by Brazil to establish MRLs is 
consistent with international best practi ce. Countries set MRLs according to the good 
agricultural practice (GAP) applicable to their region. Agricultural chemical use patterns 
differ between different production regions and countries as pests, diseases and 
environmental factors vary. This means that Brazilian MRLs for agricultural chemicals in 
food may differ from Codex standards.
