The effect of such well-intentioned regulations might be counterproductive Industry could either be forced to withdraw products from the market despite their scientific merits because compliance is impossible, or they might dishonestly propose analytical methods that sweep all but a scapegoat impurity below the carpet.

Initial efforts by workers at the Institute for Reference Materials and Measurement (IRMM), Geel, Belgium, to produce certified reference materials for GMOs have demonstrated that the provision of suitable reference materials is not easy and that together with the development of suitable analytical methods there are many challenges to be solved ahead. The first two examples produced jointly by the IRMM in Belgium and Fluka Chemie AG in Switzerland were based on Round-Up Ready Soya and BT 176 Maize. The reference materials are needed to validate EU and Swiss regulations which permit non-GMO products to be contaminated by up to 1 % GMO material and still be accepted. 

Regulation was developed in the 1950s and 1960s to include legal limits (tolerances) for residues on foods and in feeds and, with time, in water and air. Enforcing these regulations required analytical methods of ever-increasing sophistication and...

Acceptance criteria of environmental analytical methods for pesticide regulation... 

As probabilistic exposure and risk assessment methods are developed and become more frequently used for environmental fate and effects assessment, OPP increasingly needs distributions of environmental fate values rather than single point estimates, and quantitation of error and uncertainty in measurements. Probabilistic models currently being developed by the OPP require distributions of environmental fate and effects parameters either by measurement, extrapolation or a combination of the two. The models predictions will allow regulators to base decisions on the likelihood and magnitude of exposure and effects for a range of conditions which vary both spatially and temporally, rather than in a specific environment under static conditions. This increased need for basic data on environmental fate may increase data collection and drive development of less costly and more precise analytical methods.
