Providing pesticide residue analysts with a convenient and efficient access to information needed for proper decision-making in pesticide residue analysis. Take a quick tour:
Pesticide residue-related information tends to live in many separate places — publications, spreadsheets, lab archives, personal files. EURL DataPool collects it systematically in one connected database system, to conserve this knowledge and make it easy to find again.
Overview of the databases we offer:
Quickly search pesticide compounds by name or CAS number to access comprehensive data, including LC and GC behaviour, physicochemical properties, regulatory, and toxicological data.
Register an account to browse the Pesticide Properties DB →Filter validation experiments by pesticide name, commodity group and/or extraction method to see what has already been demonstrated, at which spiking levels, and with what recoveries — before committing bench time of your own.
Register an account to review method validation data →Consult pesticide stability experiments submitted by different laboratories to evaluate how long pesticide stock solutions remain stable under given storage conditions.
Register an account to browse pesticide stability data →Access high-resolution GC- and LC-mass spectrometry data contributed by laboratories across the network. Use the High Resolution MS Search Tool to identify unknown signals and peaks in your spectra.
Register an account to review GC-High Resolution MS Data → Register an account to review LC-High Resolution MS Data →Find EU MRL residue definitions issued by the European Commission, along with their assigned pesticides and corresponding conversion factors.
Register an account to browse MRL Residue Definitions →Hosted within EURL DataPool, this database supports the network of official pesticide residue laboratories across EU Member States, candidate countries, Norway, and Switzerland. Detailed information — including lab functions, sample scope, and contact persons — is accessible to network members only.
More Details on EURL/NRL Network →The EUPT Archive which is hosted in EURL DataPool is the central repository for European Union Proficiency Tests organized by the EURLs for Residues of Pesticides. Participating laboratories can easily review test results, download official reports, and retrieve performance certificates. Detailed information is accessible to lab members only.
Register an account to view the EUPT Archive →Our eTools integrate data across separate databases, transforming it into clear, high-value outcomes that — among others — fuel smarter decisions. Some eTools are accessible to lab network members only.
Overview of the eTools we offer:
Select pesticides, EUPT results, and validation data using a simple step-by-step wizard to estimate your laboratory's measurement uncertainty based on current AQC Guidelines. This tool is accessible to EURL, NRL, and OfL network members only.
Register to use the Measurement Uncertainty Tool →Calculate the total concentrations of complex residue definitions by entering the concentrations of the individual components detected. The tool automatically applies the correct conversion factors.
Register to use the Tool for Calculation of Sum →Filter pesticide compounds listed in EU Multi-Annual Control Programmes (MACP) and draft Working Documents (WDs) to easily retrieve information such as validation data, validated EURL methods, analytical observations and residue findings.
Register to browse the Method Finder List →Use the EUPT Registration tool to sign up for upcoming EUPTs organized by the EURLs. Much of the required laboratory information is automatically pre-filled from your existing DataPool lab profile.
Use the SRM Pinboard Service to find cooperation partners for SRM pesticide analysis, or to offer your laboratory's SRM-testing capacity to others. This tool is accessible to EURL, NRL, and OfL network members only.

EURL DataPool is funded by the European Union and the Ministry for Rural Affairs, Agriculture and Regional Identity of Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Views and opinions expressed are those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union, European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HADEA) or the Ministry of Rural Affairs, Agriculture and Consumer Protection of Baden-Württemberg.

Pesticide residue laboratories worldwide perform numerous validation and pesticide stability experiments. However, these valuable datasets have traditionally remained scattered, making comprehensive analysis and assessment difficult. This project aims to close this gap. We thus greatly welcome and encourage any contributions from the pesticide residue community.
