Evidence Fitness
The official GSO catalog record is fit to establish the standard’s identity, title, publication date, active catalog status, technical-regulation classification, broad food scope, and listed analytes. It is not sufficient to transcribe numerical maximum levels because the 22-page standard is sold under licence and its tables are not exposed in the public catalog record. It also does not establish that every GCC member has adopted the same national effective date.
Verified record
The record identifies document GSO 2783:2025, record GSO:990231, titled “Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for Heavy Metals in Food.” It is classified as a GSO technical regulation, shows an active revision status, and gives a publication date of 29 October 2025. The public scope metadata names arsenic, inorganic arsenic, mercury, cadmium, lead, and tin.
Routing
The instrument is routed to GSO 2783:2025 - heavy metals in food. No values are added to regulatory_limits.csv until the licensed table and its commodity, species, unit, and basis notes can be checked directly. GSO catalog status is not treated as proof of uniform national implementation across all GCC member states.
