ISO 17025 Accredited Testing of Food Additive Residues: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

Eurolab provides ISO 17025 accredited testing services for the detection of food additive residues in various food products. This laboratory test is governed by a set of international and national standards that ensure the accuracy, reliability, and consistency of the results.

The relevant standards that apply to this specific laboratory test include:

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

  • ISO 22000:2018 - Food safety management systems

  • EN 13136:2005 - Foodstuffs - Methods for the detection and quantification of residues of pesticides in food

  • TSE/TS 13004:2017 - Foodstuffs - Detection and quantification methods for pesticide residues

  • ASTM E1828-16 - Standard practice for conducting laboratory tests on food packaging materials

    • These standards are developed by various organizations, including the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), and the Turkish Standards Institution (TSE).

    Standard Development Organizations

    The following standard development organizations play a crucial role in developing and maintaining the relevant standards:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO) - Develops international standards that ensure consistency and compatibility across different countries and industries.

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN) - Develops European standards that are harmonized with ISO standards.

  • Turkish Standards Institution (TSE) - Develops national standards in Turkey, aligned with international and European standards.

    • Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards evolve over time to reflect changes in technology, regulations, and industry practices. New standards may be developed, while existing ones may be revised or withdrawn.

    For example, ISO/IEC 17025:2017 replaced the earlier version (ISO/IEC 17025:2005), which introduced significant changes to laboratory testing and calibration requirements.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    To ensure compliance with these standards, laboratories must adhere to specific requirements, including:

  • Equipment calibration: All equipment used for testing must be calibrated regularly.
