1, Maximum Limits of Radionuclides set by EU
The followings are the parameters of radionuclides tolerance (cesium 134, cesium 137) in Europe (Last Updated03/29/2012)
....................................................................................................................................
Regarding the iodine, below is the part of the "EU Regulation of 29.03.2012"
which says:
"...Iodine-131 has a short half-life of 8 days and because there were no releases of radioactivity from the affected nuclear power plant into the environment in recent months and the affected nuclear reactor is now in a stable situation and no further releases to the environment are expected, iodine-131 is no longer present in the environment and consequently also not in feed and food from Japan..."

Detectable limits
Minimum detectable density varies depending on the length of time for analysis
and the weight of the sample. More are the time of analysis and the quantity
of the product, the greater the accuracy / precision of the results. In
the case of IZS, we specifically asked to perform an analysis as long as
possible. As a result, they put time counts of up to 140,000 sec (usually
10,000 to 50,000 sec).

Accreditation
Through the certification of its management system, product or service,
or of its professionalism, with an assessment report of its activity or
a laboratory test of the goods it offers, the supplier can demonstrate
to the client that it operates in conformity with international standards
and other specific requirements related to its field of activity. Only testing laboratories and accredited certification and inspection bodies
are qualified to supply to the market reliable, credible and internationally
recognised certifications of conformity. ACCREDIA, applying the most rigorous standards, evaluates their competence, and their behaviour and performance is continuously and carefully monitored. ACCREDIA is also a signatory to international agreements of mutual recognition. The test reports issued by accredited laboratories are also accepted abroad on the basis of mutual agreements and conventions between the countries of the European Union.
