Complete Guide to ISO 17025 Accredited Peanut Allergen Quantification Test Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

ISO 17025 is an international standard that outlines the requirements for laboratory testing and calibration. It is widely recognized as a benchmark for laboratory competence and is used in many industries, including food safety and quality control. The standard requires laboratories to demonstrate their technical competence, manage their operations effectively, and ensure the accuracy and reliability of their test results.

In the context of peanut allergen quantification testing, ISO 17025 accreditation ensures that the laboratory has the necessary expertise, equipment, and procedures in place to accurately detect and quantify peanut allergens. The standard requires laboratories to follow a systematic approach to testing, including sample preparation, analysis, and reporting.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service is governed by various national and international standards, including:

  • ISO 17025:2017 - General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories
  • IEC 17025:2017 - General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories (identical to ISO 17025:2017)
  • EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018 - General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories (harmonized European standard)
  • These standards are developed and maintained by organizations such as:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
  • International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)
  • The international and national standards that apply to this specific laboratory test include:

  • ISO 3630-1:2016 - Peanut allergens in food products
  • ASTM E2539-14 - Standard practice for quantification of peanut allergen in foods
  • EN 16797:2017 - Foodstuffs - Determination of the content of peanuts
  • These standards provide a framework for laboratory testing and reporting, ensuring that test results are accurate, reliable, and comparable.

    Peanut allergen quantification testing is essential in todays food industry, where consumers increasingly demand products with guaranteed allergen safety. The testing service provided by Eurolab ensures that food manufacturers can comply with regulatory requirements and provide customers with peace of mind.

    The need for this test arises from the increasing prevalence of peanut allergies worldwide. According to Food Allergy Research Education (FARE), approximately 1 in 50 children under the age of 18 has a peanut allergy.

    Conducting ISO 17025 accredited peanut allergen quantification testing is crucial for several reasons:

  • Quality assurance and compliance: This test ensures that food manufacturers meet regulatory requirements, maintaining their reputation and preventing costly recalls.
  • Product safety and reliability: By detecting and quantifying peanut allergens, food manufacturers can guarantee the safety of their products and reduce the risk of allergic reactions.
  • Competitive advantages: Compliance with regulations and provision of accurate labeling information create a competitive advantage for food manufacturers.
  • Cost-benefit analysis: The cost savings from reduced recalls, improved brand reputation, and compliance with regulations far outweigh the costs associated with this testing service.
  • This test is required in various industries, including:

  • Food manufacturing
  • Packaging and processing
  • Retailing
  • Hospitality
  • The risk factors and safety implications of non-compliance are significant. Failure to detect peanut allergens can lead to severe allergic reactions, which can be life-threatening.

    The test is conducted in accordance with the standards mentioned earlier. The testing process involves several steps:

    1. Sample preparation: Samples are prepared according to the standard protocols, ensuring that they are representative of the product.

    2. Analysis: The sample is analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

    3. Measurement and analysis methods: The test results are measured and analyzed using specific software and equipment.
