Regulatory navigator

Find the right EU residue-limit source before you lose time in the wrong one.

EU MRL Registry is a static front-end for the official landscape around pesticide and veterinary maximum residue limits. It does not replace the legal source; it gets you there faster.

Tools

Official paths, separated early.

A static navigator around official residue-limit sources, not a shadow database.

Use cases

Where the registry actually helps.

It shortens orientation before the legal check by separating pesticide, veterinary and guidance routes from the first click.

Why this site exists

Residue-limit work is fragmented across databases, annexes, guidance PDFs, factsheets and agency pages. This registry gives the structure first, so researchers, importers and compliance teams can move into the official source with less waste.

What it deliberately does not claim

The public site does not present itself as the legal source of truth for numeric MRL values. It surfaces official destinations, categories, terminology and workflow context instead.

Official resources

Structured around the real authorities.

The point is not to compete with the official sources. It is to organise them by purpose so the right click happens first.

FAQ

Common questions.

Does the site host legally binding MRL values?

No. It points to the official sources where current or historical values are published and maintained.

Why split pesticides and veterinary residues?

Because they run through different regulatory paths and users lose time when those tracks are blended.

Can this help with onboarding?

Yes. The structure is useful for teams who need a front door to the official material before they touch detailed evaluations.
