ISO 18369 Additive Residue Detection in BeveragesComprehensive Guide to ISO 18369 Additive Residue Detection in Beverages Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab
ISO 18369 is an international standard that governs the detection of additives residues in beverages. This standard is developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), a non-profit organization that brings together experts from around the world to establish common standards for products, services, and systems.
The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 18369 testing is established by national and international regulations. For example, in the European Union, the Food Safety Authority sets out guidelines for the detection of additives residues in foodstuffs, including beverages (European Commission, 2020). Similarly, in the United States, the FDA establishes regulations for the detection of additives residues in food products, including beverages (US FDA, 2022).
The international standard ISO 18369 is based on the principles outlined in ISO/IEC 17025, which sets out the general requirements for testing and calibration laboratories (ISO, 2017). This standard requires laboratories to meet certain criteria, including:
Eurolab is accredited by the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) for ISO/IEC 17025:2017, which demonstrates our commitment to maintaining high standards of testing and calibration services.
Standard compliance requirements vary depending on the industry or sector. For example:
