Compliance with the tolerance levels specified is to be determined by measuring only deltamethrin, (1R,3R)–3–(2,2–dibromovinyl)–2,2–dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid (S)-alpha-cyano–3–phenoxybenzyl ester, and its major metabolites, trans-deltamethrin, (S)-alpha-cyano-m-phenoxybenzyl(1R,3S)–3–(2,2–dibromovinyl)–2,2–dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate, and alpha–R–deltamethrin, (R)-alpha-cyano-m-phenoxybenzyl-(1R,3R)–3–(2,2–dibromovinyl)–2,2–dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate, in or on the commodity.
