Comprehensive Guide to ISO 17034 Reference Materials for Mycotoxin Analysis Testing Services Provided by Eurolab

ISO 17034:2016 is the international standard that specifies the requirements for reference materials used in calibration and testing, including those related to mycotoxin analysis. The standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is widely adopted across various industries.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 17034 Reference Materials for Mycotoxin Analysis testing includes:

  • European Unions (EU) Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 on setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs

  • EUs Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 on maximum residue limits (MRLs) for pesticides in or on food and feed

  • Codex Alimentarius Commissions standards for mycotoxin analysis

    • International standards that apply to this specific laboratory test include:

  • ISO 17034:2016, Reference materials -- General requirements

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

  • IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) standards for mycotoxin analysis

    • Standard development organizations, such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), play a crucial role in developing and maintaining international standards.

    Standards evolve and get updated to reflect advancements in technology, new scientific findings, and changes in regulatory requirements. For example, ISO 17034:2016 has undergone several revisions since its initial publication in 1998.

    Specific standard numbers and their scope include:

  • ISO 17034:2016 - Reference materials -- General requirements

    • Scope: Specifies the general requirements for reference materials used in calibration and testing

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

    • Scope: Specifies the general requirements for testing and calibration laboratories to demonstrate their competence

    Standard compliance requirements vary depending on the industry, country, or regulatory body. For example:

  • In the EU, food manufacturers must comply with Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006, which sets maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs

  • In the United States, the FDA requires compliance with 21 CFR Part 170, which outlines good manufacturing practices for food-grade materials

    • The need for ISO 17034 Reference Materials for Mycotoxin Analysis testing arises from several business and technical reasons:

    • Quality assurance and quality control aspects of this test include:

  • Use of certified reference materials (CRMs) and proficiency testing (PT)

  • Regular calibration and maintenance of equipment

  • Accurate sample preparation and handling

  • Statistical analysis and data interpretation

    • This test contributes to product safety and reliability by ensuring accurate detection and quantification of mycotoxins.

    Competitive advantages of having this testing performed include:

  • Enhanced brand reputation and customer trust

  • Increased market access and trade facilitation

  • Cost savings through reduced recall and regulatory compliance costs

  • Improved quality assurance and control processes

    • Cost-benefit analysis of performing this test indicates a significant return on investment, considering the potential risks and consequences of non-compliance.
