FDA 21 CFR 172.830 Polyethylene Glycol Detection in Food AdditivesComprehensive Guide to FDA 21 CFR 172.830 Polyethylene Glycol Detection in Food Additives Testing Services Provided by Eurolab
The detection of polyethylene glycol (PEG) in food additives is a critical aspect of ensuring the safety and quality of food products. The FDA 21 CFR 172.830 standard governs the testing for PEG in food additives, and it is essential to understand the relevant standards that apply to this specific laboratory test.
Relevant Standards:
1. ISO/IEC 17025: General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories
2. ASTM D7920-08 (2014): Standard Practice for Evaluation of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) in Food Products by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
3. EN ISO/IEC 17025: General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories
4. TSE (Turkish Standards Institution): TSE EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017, General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories
These standards outline the minimum requirements for laboratory testing, including equipment, personnel, and quality control procedures.
Standard Development Organizations (SDOs) and their Role:
These SDOs develop and publish international standards that govern laboratory testing, including the detection of PEG in food additives.
International and National Standards:
The following are some of the key national and international standards related to PEG detection in food additives:
1. ISO 17025: General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories
2. ASTM D7920-08 (2014): Standard Practice for Evaluation of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) in Food Products by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
3. EN ISO/IEC 17025: General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories
4. TSE EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017, General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories
