CIPC Residues Monitoring Group (CRMG)

​The CIPC Residues Monitoring Group (CRMG) is a cross-industry body established by the UK potato industry to monitor chlorpropham (CIPC) residues in potatoes held in stores previously treated with CIPC. This initiative was set up to meet the data submission requirements of the Health & Safety Executive’s Chemical Regulation Division (CRD) following the establishment of a temporary Maximum Residue Level (tMRL) for CIPC. 

The CRMG operates with support from various organizations within the UK potato industry, including GB Potatoes, the UK Potato Processors Association, Fresh Potato Suppliers Association, National Farmers Union, National Association of Agricultural Contractors (Postharvest Group), Certis Belchim B.V., UPL, CS Backhouse, Isle of Ely Produce, Potato Storage Insight, and SA Consulting.
