AOAC 2010.02 GMO DNA Quantification in Canola Oil Products Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

The AOAC 2010.02 method is a widely recognized standard for the quantification of genetically modified organism (GMO) DNA in canola oil products. This standard is developed and published by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC), a non-profit organization that sets standards for laboratory testing.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The AOAC 2010.02 method is governed by various international and national standards, including:

  • ISO/IEC 17025:2005 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

  • ASTM E2533-10 Standard guide for GMO DNA quantification in food and feed products

  • EN 13690:2004 Foodstuffs - Determination of genetically modified soya and maize by PCR

  • TSE/ISO 22005:2016 Traceability in the feeding stuffs chain

    • These standards ensure that laboratory testing is conducted with accuracy, precision, and reliability.

    Standard Development Organizations

    The development of standards for laboratory testing is a collaborative effort between various organizations, including:

  • AOAC International (Association of Official Analytical Chemists)

  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization)

  • ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials)

  • EN (European Committee for Standardization)

    • These organizations work together to develop, publish, and update standards that ensure consistency and reliability in laboratory testing.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with AOAC 2010.02 requires that laboratories meet specific requirements, including:

  • Use of validated methods and equipment

  • Training and certification of personnel

  • Documentation and record-keeping

  • Calibration and maintenance of instruments
