AOAC 2003.07 Detection of Campylobacter spp. in Food and Environmental SamplesAOAC 2003.07 Detection of Campylobacter spp. in Food and Environmental Samples: Laboratory Testing Services Provided by Eurolab
The detection of Campylobacter spp. in food and environmental samples is a critical aspect of ensuring public health and safety. The AOAC 2003.07 method is a widely recognized standard for detecting Campylobacter spp. in these types of samples. In this section, we will provide comprehensive information about the relevant standards that govern this testing service.
International Standards
The AOAC International (AOAC) is a non-profit organization that develops and publishes standards for analytical methods used in various industries, including food and environmental testing. The AOAC 2003.07 method is based on the ISO 11290-1:1998 standard, which provides a framework for detecting Campylobacter spp. in food samples.
National Standards
In addition to international standards, national standards also play a crucial role in governing laboratory testing services. In the European Union (EU), the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is responsible for developing and publishing standards for various industries, including food and environmental testing. The CEN/TS 16603:2008 standard provides guidelines for detecting Campylobacter spp. in food samples.
Standard Development Organizations
Standard development organizations (SDOs) play a vital role in developing and maintaining standards for laboratory testing services. Some of the prominent SDOs involved in developing standards for AOAC 2003.07 include:
Standard Evolution and Updates
Standards are constantly evolving to reflect changes in technology, scientific knowledge, and regulatory requirements. The AOAC 2003.07 method has undergone several revisions since its initial publication. For example, the ISO 11290-1:1998 standard was revised in 2015 to incorporate new methods for detecting Campylobacter spp.
