EN ISO 16190 Measurement of Organic Contaminants in Food: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

Standard-Related Information

EN ISO 16190 is an international standard that provides a method for the measurement of organic contaminants in food. This standard is developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is widely recognized as a benchmark for laboratory testing services worldwide.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service is governed by various national and international standards, including:

  • EU Regulation 2015/2283 on novel foods

  • EU Regulation 178/2002 on food safety

  • FDAs Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulations in the United States

  • ISO 17025:2017 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

    • International standards that apply to this specific laboratory test include:

  • EN ISO 16190:2016 Measurement of organic contaminants in food

  • ISO/TS 18604:2015 Determination of the presence and quantity of certain residues in animal feed and foodstuffs

  • ISO/TS 18823:2013 Determination of the presence and quantity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in food

    • Standard development organizations play a crucial role in ensuring that standards are developed and updated regularly to reflect advances in technology, science, and regulatory requirements. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is one such organization that develops and publishes international standards.

    Standards evolve and get updated as new technologies, methods, and scientific knowledge become available. For example, the latest version of EN ISO 16190 was published in 2016 and includes new methods for measuring organic contaminants in food.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Different industries have varying standard compliance requirements. For instance:

  • The food industry is regulated by EU Regulation 178/2002 on food safety, which requires laboratories to adhere to EN ISO 16190.

  • The animal feed industry is governed by EU Regulation 2015/2283 on novel foods, which also requires adherence to EN ISO 16190.
