ISO 17190 Detection of residues in fermented animal feed

Comprehensive Guide to Eurolabs ISO 17190 Detection of Residues in Fermented Animal Feed Laboratory Testing Service

ISO 17190 is an international standard that provides guidelines for the detection of residues in fermented animal feed. The standard is developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is widely accepted as a global benchmark for laboratory testing services.

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 17190 testing is governed by various national and international standards, including:

The standard applies to laboratory testing services that detect residues in fermented animal feed, including:

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

Standards evolve over time to reflect advances in technology, changes in regulatory requirements, and emerging industry needs. The standard compliance requirements for different industries vary depending on factors such as country-specific regulations, product type, and intended use.

Some relevant standard numbers and their scope include:

Standard compliance is essential to ensure product safety and reliability. Non-compliance can result in costly recalls, damaged reputation, and even legal consequences.

The ISO 17190 Detection of residues in fermented animal feed testing service is required for several reasons:

1. Regulatory compliance: Many countries have laws and regulations that mandate the detection of residues in fermented animal feed.

2. Business and technical requirements: Fermented animal feed manufacturers need to ensure their products meet quality and safety standards to maintain customer trust and loyalty.

3. Risk assessment and mitigation: Testing for residues can identify potential risks associated with contaminated feed, enabling proactive measures to mitigate these risks.

The consequences of not performing this test include:

1. Non-compliance with regulations

2. Product recalls or withdrawals

3. Damaged reputation and loss of customer trust

4. Economic losses due to reduced market access or sales

Conducting ISO 17190 Detection of residues in fermented animal feed testing involves a series of steps:

1. Sample preparation: Fermented animal feed samples are collected, stored, and prepared for analysis.

2. Equipment calibration: Testing equipment is calibrated according to standard procedures to ensure accuracy and precision.

3. Analysis: Samples are analyzed using standardized methods, such as chromatography or spectroscopy.

The testing environment requirements include:

Sample preparation procedures involve:

1. Homogenization of samples to ensure uniform distribution of residues

2. Extraction of residues using standardized methods

Testing parameters and conditions include:

Measurement and analysis methods involve:

1. Chromatographic techniques, such as gas chromatography (GC) or liquid chromatography (LC)

2. Spectroscopic techniques, such as mass spectrometry (MS)

The standard requires that laboratories demonstrate their ability to detect residues in fermented animal feed using validated methods.

Test Results and Reporting

Test results are reported in accordance with the standard, including:

Laboratories must maintain records of test results, including:

1. Sample identification and handling information

2. Test method used and instrument calibration details

3. Quality control measures implemented during testing

Interpretation of Results

Test results are interpreted in the context of regulatory requirements and industry standards.

Detected residues may be classified as follows:

The standard provides guidance on reporting test results, including:

1. Reporting formats and templates

2. Requirements for data handling and storage
