DAFF MRL Databases
This page provides web links to databases which contain information on the Plant Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) established in Australia and some export markets for industries supported by the National Residue Survey (NRS).
It includes a section for contract laboratory use, with a link to the list of test chemicals and analyte codes to use when reporting residue results.
