residues at a level not greater than the respective MRLs is considered acceptable where there is no evidence of concentration.  Where there is evidence of concentration, separate MRLs may be set for the appropriate commodities (e.g. wine, wheat germ).
 (9) The concentration of MRLs and ERLs are expressed in milligrams per kilogram of the food, agricultural commodity or animal feed or milligrams per litre for liquids.
 (10) MRLs on food commodities (Table 1) are expressed on a "fresh-weight" or "as received" basis.  MRLs on animal feeds (Table 4) are normally expressed on a "dry-weight" basis.  Expression on a "dry weight" basis means that where the sample is analysed on a "fresh weight" basis, a moisture level is determined on a separate subsample and the residue is calculated as if it were all in the dried portion.  However, it should be noted MRLs which apply to primary human food commodities also apply when these commodities are used as animal feed commodities.
 (11) As a matter of policy, MRLs are not set for residues in tobacco or in agricultural commodities used primarily for fibre production, such as flax, cotton balls, hemp, wool or mohair, or hides of leather as these are not food commodities.
 (12) In normal practice MRLs are not set for residues in agricultural commodities used primarily for human or veterinary drug or medicine production, since it is assumed that processing under good manufacturing practices will remove any residues which might constitute a toxicological hazard to human health.
