Established Maximum Residue Limits: Clethodim  
The proposed maximum residue limit (PMRL ) document for clethodim notified in G/SPS/N/CAN/1221 
(dated 23 November 2018) was adopted 18 February 2019. The proposed MRLs were established via 
entry into the Maximum Residue Limits Database and are provided directly below:  
MRL (ppm)1 Raw Agricultural Commodity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity  
3.52 Edible -podded legume vegetables (crop subgroup 6A), succulent shelled pea and bean 
(crop subgroup 6B)  
0.5 Shallot bulbs  
1 ppm = parts per million.  
2 In addition, the established MRL  of 0.5 ppm for "beans" is replaced with an MRL of 0.5 ppm for each of the dry 
bean commodities in crop subgroup 6C in order to reflect current terminology.  
MRLs are established for each commodity included in the listed crop groupings  
in accordance with t he Residue Chemistry Crop Groups  webpage ( https://www.canada.ca/en/health -
canada/services/consumer -product -safety/pesticides -pest-management/public/protecting -your-
health -environment/pesticides -food/residue -chemistry -crop-groups.html ) 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 Residu e Limits for Pesticides 
webpage ( https://www.canada.ca/en/health -canada/services/consumer -product -safety/pesticides -
