This paper describes the operation of the European Union Reference Laboratory for Feed Additives (EURL) and its role in the authorisation procedure of feed additives in the European Union. Feed additives are authorised according to Regulation (EC) No. 1831/2003, which introduced a completely revised authorisation procedure and also established the EURL. The regulations authorising feed additives contain conditions of use such as legal limits of the feed additives, which require the availability of a suitable method of analysis for official control purposes under real world conditions. It is the task of the EURL to evaluate the suitability of analytical methods as proposed by the industry for this purpose. Moreover, the paper shows that one of the major challenges is the huge variety of the methodology applied in feed additive analysis, thus requiring expertise in quite different analytical areas. In order to cope with this challenge, the EURL is supported by a network of national reference laboratories (NRLs) and only the merged knowledge of all NRLs allows for a scientifically sound assessment of the analytical methods.
本文介绍了欧盟饲料添加剂参考实验室（EURL）的运作及其在欧盟饲料添加剂授权程序中的作用。饲料添加剂依据（EC）No. 1831/2003号法规获得授权，该法规引入了全面修订的授权程序并设立了EURL。授权饲料添加剂的法规包含使用条件，如饲料添加剂的法定限量，这要求具备适用于现实世界条件下官方控制目的的合适分析方法。评估行业为此目的提出的分析方法的适用性是EURL的任务。此外，本文表明主要挑战之一是饲料添加剂分析中应用的方法种类繁多，因此需要在截然不同的分析领域具备专业知识。为应对这一挑战，EURL得到了国家参考实验室（NRL）网络的支持，只有所有NRL的综合知识才能对分析方法进行科学合理的评估。
