Orange-juice producers in Brazil, which supply about one in every six glasses drunk in the U.S., will stop using a fungicide that led shipments from the South American country to be detained, an industry group said.

Carbendazim, a fungus killer banned in U.S. groves, will be removed from a list of chemicals approved by Brazil’s orange- juice industry, the producers-run Fund for Citrus Plant Protection, known as Fundecitrus, said today in an e-mailed statement.

ISO/IEC 17025 ACCREDITED

ISO/IEC 17025 is a company level accreditation based on a standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) titled “General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories”. ISO/IEC 17025 is a general umbrella term used to refer to the specific standard; the current version of this standard is ISO/IEC 17025:2017. The standard contains two main sections: management requirements (primarily related to the operation and effectiveness of the quality management system within the laboratory) and technical requirements (primarily related to the competence of staff and calibration of equipment). The standard also gives requirements related to quality management such as document control and corrective action. This standard is the basis for accreditation from an accrediting body.

ADPEN has also been inspected by the US-EPA and US-FDA multiple times with no observations.
