Comprehensive Guide to ISO 17025 Accredited Lead (Pb) Quantification in Cereal Products Testing Service

Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

Lead (Pb) quantification in cereal products is a critical aspect of ensuring food safety and quality. The relevant standards governing this testing service are numerous, but some of the most important ones include:

  • ISO 17025:2017: General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

  • EN ISO 11885:2009: Water quality Determination of dissolved anions by ion chromatography

  • TSE 609: Food safety Requirements for laboratory operations

  • ASTM D3601-11: Standard Test Method for Determination of Lead in Water

    • These standards provide a framework for ensuring the accuracy, precision, and reliability of lead quantification results in cereal products. The international and national standards that apply to this specific laboratory test are designed to ensure consistency and comparability across different laboratories.

    Standard Development Organizations

    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is responsible for developing and maintaining many of the relevant standards governing lead quantification in cereal products. ISO works with technical committees composed of experts from around the world to develop and update standards as needed.

    Some key standard development organizations include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO): Develops and maintains international standards

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN): Develops and maintains European standards

  • Technical Specifications and Regulations (TSE): Develops and maintains Turkish standards

    • Evolution of Standards

    Standards are not static; they evolve over time to reflect advances in technology, changes in regulatory requirements, or new scientific knowledge. This evolution is necessary to ensure that laboratory testing methods remain accurate, reliable, and relevant.

    Eurolab stays up-to-date with the latest developments in standardization by participating in technical committees, attending industry conferences, and engaging with other stakeholders in the field.
