What type of product(s) do you manufacture?
In general the limits for heavy metals in foodstuffs are defined in Regulation (EC) 1881/2006 - latest consolidated version available here: https://eur-lex.euro...6R1881-20200928
This doesn't include Ag, Ba, Cr(VI), or Se though.
There are some additional requirements specifically around supplements though, for example Regulation (EU) 119/2014 limits the Cr(VI) content to not more than 0.2% of the total Cr content in Cr-enriched yeast for use in supplements. This is in the current consolidated version of Directive 2002/46/EC, available here: https://eur-lex.euro...0170726&from=EN
Selenium is permitted as a supplement in its own right, but again there are some constraints - see the relevant footnote in the annex to the above directive.
Silver isn't used as a supplement, but is permitted as an additive (E174) in a limited number of products, subject to meeting the specification/purity criteria defined in the annex to Regulation (EU) 231/2012: https://eur-lex.euro...2R0231-20200702
