Comprehensive Guide to ISO 11293 Testing of Preservative Levels in Fish Products Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

ISO 11293 is a laboratory testing standard that specifies the method for determining the preservative levels in fish products. This standard is widely recognized and adopted globally, ensuring consistency and accuracy in testing results.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is responsible for developing and publishing this standard. ISO is an independent, non-governmental organization that brings together experts from around the world to develop voluntary international standards. The development of ISO 11293 involves input from various stakeholders, including industry professionals, regulatory bodies, and technical experts.

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is another key player in the development and adoption of this standard. CEN is responsible for developing and publishing standards for Europe, ensuring compliance with EU directives and regulations.

In addition to ISO 11293, several other international and national standards are relevant to preservative levels testing in fish products. These include:

  • ASTM D3813: Standard Practice for Determining Preservatives in Fish Products (USA)

  • EN 14146: Water-soluble preservatives for the treatment of wood (Europe)

  • TSE 1356: Determination of water-soluble preservatives in fish products (Turkey)

    • The standard development process involves several stages, including:

    1. Proposal and draft development

    2. Public comment period

    3. Balloting and voting by member countries

    4. Final approval and publication

    Standard compliance is mandatory for industries regulated by EU directives, such as the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) and the UKs Food Standards Agency (FSA). Failure to comply with these standards can result in severe penalties, including product recalls and fines.

    ISO 11293 testing is essential for ensuring food safety and compliance with regulatory requirements. The standard specifies the method for determining preservative levels in fish products, which is critical for maintaining consumer confidence and trust.
