EN ISO 6887-5 Preparation of Samples from Prepared Meals Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

EN ISO 6887-5 is a laboratory testing standard that governs the preparation of samples from prepared meals for food safety and quality control purposes. This standard is part of the EN ISO 6887 series, which provides guidelines for sample preparation in various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding EN ISO 6887-5 testing includes international standards such as ISO 6887-5:2020, EU regulations (e.g., Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002), and national laws (e.g., FDA guidelines in the United States). These regulations require food manufacturers to ensure the safety and quality of their products, including prepared meals.

International and National Standards

EN ISO 6887-5 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and adopted by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) as EN ISO 6887-5:2020. This standard supersedes previous versions of EN 14675, which was withdrawn in 2019.

Standard Development Organizations

The development of international standards like EN ISO 6887-5 involves collaboration between technical committees and working groups from various countries. These organizations include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)
  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
  • Technical Regulations and Standards Institution of Turkey (TSE)
  • Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards evolve over time to reflect changes in technology, regulations, or industry practices. EN ISO 6887-5 has undergone revisions since its initial publication in 2003, with the most recent update being published in 2020.

    Specific Standard Numbers and Scope

    EN ISO 6887-5 is part of a larger series that includes:

  • EN ISO 6887-1:2019 (General principles for sample preparation)
  • EN ISO 6887-2:2018 (Preparation of samples from raw materials)
  • EN ISO 6887-3:2017 (Preparation of samples from semi-finished products)
  • ...and other standards in the series
  • Standard Compliance Requirements

    EN ISO 6887-5 is a mandatory requirement for food manufacturers, particularly those producing prepared meals, to ensure compliance with international and national regulations. This standard applies to various industries, including:

  • Food processing
  • Catering services
  • Healthcare institutions
  • Retail stores selling prepared meals
