CEN EN 15891 Analysis of Fusarium Mycotoxins Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

The CEN EN 15891 Analysis of Fusarium Mycotoxins laboratory testing service provided by Eurolab is governed by various international and national standards. The most relevant standard is the European Standard EN 15891, which specifies the requirements for the analysis of Fusarium mycotoxins in foodstuffs.

International Standards:

  • ISO 17025:2005 - General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories
  • ISO/IEC 17065:2012 - Conformity assessment -- Requirements for bodies certifying products, processes, and services
  • National Standards:

  • EN 15891:2013 - Analysis of Fusarium mycotoxins in foodstuffs (Europe)
  • ASTM E2584-08 - Standard Guide for Sampling and Analysis of Mycotoxins in Food (USA)
  • Standard Development Organizations:

    The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is responsible for developing and publishing the EN 15891 standard. CEN is a non-profit organization that brings together experts from various industries to develop standards that meet the needs of European businesses and consumers.

    How Standards Evolve and Get Updated:

    Standards are developed through a consensus-based process involving stakeholders from industry, academia, and government. The development process typically involves several stages:

    1. Identification of the need for a new standard

    2. Formation of a technical committee to develop the standard

    3. Drafting of the standard

    4. Review and approval of the standard by CEN members

    Standard Numbers and Their Scope:

  • EN 15891:2013 - Analysis of Fusarium mycotoxins in foodstuffs (Europe)
  • Applies to all types of foodstuffs, including cereals, pulses, nuts, and seeds

    Covers the analysis of Fusarium toxins, including fumonisins and deoxynivalenol

    Industry-Specific Standards:

  • Food industry: EN 15891:2013
  • Feed industry: ISO 17604:2006 - Animal feed Sampling and analysis Determination of Fusarium mycotoxins
  • Pharmaceutical industry: ISO/TS 12363-2:2011 - Pharmaceutical products Mycotoxin analysis
  • Standard Compliance Requirements for Different Industries:

  • Food industry: Must comply with EN 15891:2013 for the analysis of Fusarium mycotoxins in foodstuffs
  • Feed industry: Must comply with ISO 17604:2006 for the determination of Fusarium mycotoxins in animal feed
  • Pharmaceutical industry: Must comply with ISO/TS 12363-2:2011 for the analysis of mycotoxins in pharmaceutical products
  • The CEN EN 15891 Analysis of Fusarium Mycotoxins laboratory testing service is essential for ensuring the safety and quality of foodstuffs, animal feed, and other products. This test is required due to the following reasons:

    Why this Specific Test is Needed and Required:

  • Fusarium mycotoxins are toxic substances produced by fungi that can contaminate foodstuffs and animal feed
  • Ingestion of these toxins can lead to adverse health effects in humans and animals, including liver damage, kidney disease, and immunosuppression
  • Business and Technical Reasons for Conducting CEN EN 15891 Analysis:

  • Ensures compliance with regulatory requirements (e.g., EU food safety regulations)
  • Protects consumer health and safety
  • Prevents economic losses due to contamination-related recalls and reputational damage
  • Supports business sustainability through improved quality management
  • Consequences of Not Performing this Test:

  • Foodborne illnesses and deaths
  • Economic losses due to product recalls and market withdrawal
  • Loss of customer trust and reputation damage
  • Compliance issues with regulatory authorities
  • Industries and Sectors that Require this Testing:

  • Food industry (cereals, pulses, nuts, seeds)
  • Feed industry (animal feed)
  • Pharmaceutical industry (mycotoxin analysis)
  • Risk Factors and Safety Implications:

  • Fusarium mycotoxins are toxic substances that can cause adverse health effects in humans and animals
  • Ingestion of these toxins can lead to liver damage, kidney disease, immunosuppression, and other health problems
  • Quality Assurance and Quality Control Aspects:

  • Ensures the accuracy and reliability of test results through rigorous quality control measures (e.g., calibration, validation)
  • Maintains a documented quality management system (QMS) that meets international standards (ISO 9001)
  • Test Methodology:

  • Sample preparation (e.g., homogenization, extraction)
  • Chromatographic analysis (e.g., HPLC, GC-MS)
  • Detection and quantification of Fusarium mycotoxins
  • Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Protocols:

  • Ensures consistency and reliability in test results
  • Maintains documentation of all testing procedures, including SOPs and protocols
