Comprehensive Guide to Eurolabs CEN/TS 16707:2015 Qualitative Detection of GM Cotton Laboratory Testing Service

CEN/TS 16707:2015 Qualitative Detection of GM Cotton is a laboratory testing standard developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). This standard provides guidelines for the qualitative detection of genetically modified (GM) cotton in various food and feed products. The standard is part of a larger series of standards related to GMO detection, which includes EN ISO 21570:2005, EN ISO 21571:2006, and EN ISO 21572:2007.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The CEN/TS 16707:2015 standard is aligned with the European Unions (EU) legislative framework for GMO detection. The EUs regulatory requirements are outlined in Regulations (EC) No 1829/2003 and (EC) No 1830/2003, which govern the safe use of GMOs in food and feed products.

International and National Standards

The CEN/TS 16707:2015 standard is based on international standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The relevant ISO standards include:

  • ISO 21570:2005, DNA-based methods for the detection of genetically modified organisms

  • ISO 21571:2006, Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods for the detection of DNA and protein sequences characteristic of genetically modified organisms

  • ISO 21572:2007, Quantitative real-time PCR techniques are not applicable to this standard

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The CEN/TS 16707:2015 standard was developed by Technical Committee TC 186, which is responsible for the development of standards related to food safety and quality. The committee consists of representatives from national standardization bodies and industry stakeholders.

    Evolution and Updates

    Standards are living documents that evolve over time to reflect changing regulatory requirements, technological advancements, and scientific developments. The CEN/TS 16707:2015 standard has undergone several revisions since its initial publication in 2004.

    Specific Standard Numbers and Scope

  • CEN/TS 16707:2015 Qualitative Detection of GM Cotton

    • Scope: This European Standard specifies a qualitative PCR-based method for the detection of genetically modified cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) DNA.

    Normative references: EN ISO 21570:2005, EN ISO 21571:2006

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with this standard is essential for food and feed manufacturers to ensure the safe use of GMOs in their products. Non-compliance can result in regulatory penalties, product recalls, and damage to brand reputation.
