1 The dates of publication refer to the first complete or completely revised monograph. Where more than one date is given,
later dates refer to addenda to the monograph in the first reference. Where a monograph has been completely revised no mention
is made of any earlier obsolete ones. Where the only date given is 1971, the compound was considered at the 1970 Joint Meeting
for the first time.
2 Unless otherwise indicated, the tolerances and practical residue limits should apply as soon as practicable after harvest
to the raw agricultural products moving in commerce and prior to processing. For commodities entering international trade the
tolerances are applicable at the point of entry into a country or as soon as practicable thereafter.
