Member States using multi-residue methods may use qualitative screening methods on up to 15 % of the samples to be taken and analysed in accordance with point 1 of Part A. Where qualitative screening methods are used, the remaining number of samples shall be analysed by quantitative multi-residue methods. Where the results of qualitative screening are positive, Member States shall use a usual target method to quantify the findings. 2. As regards single residue methods, Member States may transmit samples to be taken and analysed in accordance with point 1 of Part A to official laboratories already having the required validated analytical methods. 3. Guidance concerning ‘Analytical quality control and validation procedures for pesticide residues analysis in food and feed’ ( 2 ) is published on the Commission website.
