Comprehensive Guide to ISO 10540 Determination of Nitrate in Root Vegetables Laboratory Testing Service by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

ISO 10540:2007 is the international standard for determining nitrate in root vegetables, which specifies a method for determining the concentration of nitrate ions (NO3-) in plant material using ion chromatography. The standard is developed and maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) through its technical committee on food safety.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 10540 Determination of Nitrate in Root Vegetables testing is governed by various national and international standards, including:

  • European Unions (EU) Regulation No. 1334/2008

  • EUs Food Safety Commission Regulation No. 396/2005

  • Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC)

  • World Health Organization (WHO)

    • These regulations require food manufacturers to ensure that their products comply with maximum nitrate levels, which can vary depending on the country and region.

    Standard Development Organizations

    The development of ISO standards is carried out by technical committees composed of experts from various countries. The technical committee responsible for developing ISO 10540:2007 includes representatives from:
