ISO 11866 Detection of Enterobacteriaceae on Packaging Surfaces Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

ISO 11866 is a laboratory testing standard that governs the detection of Enterobacteriaceae on packaging surfaces. This standard is part of a broader family of standards developed to ensure the quality and safety of products, particularly in the food industry.

The ISO 11866 standard was first published in 1997 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Since then, it has undergone several revisions, with the latest version being published in 2016. The standard is applicable to various industries, including food processing, packaging, and distribution.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The detection of Enterobacteriaceae on packaging surfaces is regulated by national laws and regulations, which often refer to international standards such as ISO 11866. For example, the European Unions (EU) General Food Law Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 requires food businesses to ensure that their products are safe for human consumption.

In the United States, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) enforces regulations related to food safety, including the detection of pathogens such as Enterobacteriaceae on packaging surfaces. The FDA refers to international standards, including ISO 11866, when developing its regulatory requirements.

International and National Standards

Several international and national standards govern the detection of Enterobacteriaceae on packaging surfaces. Some of these standards include:

  • ISO 22000:2005 (Food safety management systems Requirements for any organization in the food chain)

  • EN 13726 (Microbiological examination of food and animal feeding stuffs Detection and enumeration of Enterobacteriaceae)

  • TSE 1332 (Turkish Standard) on microbiological examination of food products

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The development and maintenance of standards such as ISO 11866 are the responsibility of standard development organizations (SDOs). SDOs bring together industry experts, regulatory bodies, and other stakeholders to develop consensus-based standards.

    Some notable SDOs involved in the development of microbiological standards include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

    • Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards such as ISO 11866 are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in technology, regulatory requirements, or industry practices. This ensures that the standard remains relevant and effective.

    When a new version of a standard is published, it may introduce changes to the testing methodology, sampling procedures, or performance criteria. Eurolab stays up-to-date with these changes to ensure that its testing services remain compliant with the latest standards.

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    The ISO 11866 standard has several key numbers and scope, which are summarized below:

  • ISO 11866:2016 Detection of Enterobacteriaceae on packaging surfaces

    • Scope: The standard applies to all types of packaging materials, including paper, plastic, metal, glass, and others.

    Sampling: The standard specifies the sampling procedures for packaging materials.

    Testing: The standard outlines the testing methodology for detecting Enterobacteriaceae on packaging surfaces.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Compliance with standards such as ISO 11866 is often required by regulatory bodies or industry associations. Some key compliance requirements include:

  • Food businesses must ensure that their products are manufactured, processed, and packaged in accordance with relevant national and international standards.

  • Packaging materials must be designed and constructed to prevent contamination and ensure the safety of food products.
